Welcome to your first martial arts lesson .
Thank you .
For your first lesson we will be learning basic punches , and blocks . Do you have any questions ?
Yes. I have a question. Will we learn kicks today ?
No . We will learn kicks another day .
Okay . Thank you .
Did you stretch out so that you don’t pull a muscle ?
Yes I did .
Right now , you are a White Belt . As your skills increase you will get stripes on your belt .
How long before I become a Yellow Belt ?
It depends .
How long does it usually take someone to become a Yellow Belt ?
It usually takes two months if you attend every class and do well .
My goal is to become a Black Belt .
That is a good goal . Now , let’s start the lesson . What is the first thing you should do before a fight ?
Bow to your opponent ?
Very Good ! You bow to your opponent .
How do I punch ?
To punch , make a fist and extend your arm .
Where should I put my thumb ?
Keep your thumb outside of your fist or you will break your thumb when you punch .
Okay . How do I block ?
Place your arm in front of your body and make it stiff as a brick wall .
Like this ?
Yes . Good . You are making progress .
Thank you , Sensei .
