Publisher Description:
The Power Trip: How to Survive and Thrive in the Dojo is an informative and critical series of books that will give you the power to thrive in an environment where other students and even instructors at times sit on their "high horses," arguing over "best techniques" or making snide remarks about your performance. It will also arm you for the day you will begin teaching the martial arts (or help you improve your technique if you are already teaching), and show you how to build your integrity and repute as an instructor.If you are a new student in the martial arts, ready to sign up for your first lesson, you will gain a lot of information about the difficulties you can expect to encounter sometime throughout your training, and explore options for resolving potential conflicts. If you are a seasoned martial artist with years under your belt, you will no doubt recognize many of the scenarios presented, and be able to look back at your journey and consider what you could have done differently.8 Ways to Be Professional and Ethical in the Martial Arts, the second book in the series, defines professionalism and discusses several scenarios relevant to how instructors and other students might behave in situations ranging from representing the martial arts, signing up for lessons, and dealing with sensitive issues such as non-competition clauses in contracts. It also discusses other practical matters such as how to further one's education through the use of a number of educational tools.
