This is why we continue to learn (and teach)
When I started teaching my all girls Jiu Jitsu class I was really excited to be able to share what I had learned with other girls who were just starting out and have the opportunity to roll with people closer to my size. I was having a problem with “going easy” when I would roll with girls because I was used to only going with guys, I was developing bad habits when I rolled with the newer girls. I felt like they were small or not as strong and I didn’t want to discourage them from training by using pressure or strength. So getting a chance to train with girls more often has really helped with that. It has also helped to speed up my game (going with the big guys is a little more slow paced).
I have been teaching the girls class for almost 1 ½ yrs now and it’s great to see them improve and getting more aggressive. I now have some great training partners of my size. Also several of them are now taking the regular class as-well. It’s such a good feeling being able to see my student’s progress and retain the knowledge I given them. I feel like a proud Mom :)
I’ve also made some great new friends in the process and I'm ALWAYS learning (even when I'm the instructor)
