Instructor Revolution: A Superior Method for Teaching Children's Martial Arts

Kelly owns & operates Team Karate Center Columbus and has taught Children's Martial Arts for over 20 years. She herself has been practicing for over three decades and was an Olympic Sponsored Tae Kwon Do athlete.

After becoming an Industry Leader in the 1990's and running successful schools in California, Kelly left the industry for a short term to go into Corporate Training. While away, she had time to reflect on the programs she had been running and realized that, although they were well respected and successful by all traditional measures, she felt that something was lacking. That something turned out to be Integrity.

Kelly opened TKCC in 2004 with a plan to teach traditional Okinawan Karate to children in a strict, empowering and practical environment. No False Praise, No Emphasis on the Parent Experience in the waiting area, No 36 month Black Belt Children.

At the end of 2010, TKCC offered their first Junior black Belt Test. Amazingly, half of the students at that test had been with Kelly for over 5 years. In a world were some children are being awarded Full Black Belt ranks in less than 3 years, Kelly had proved that a successful business could be built on a program with integrity that explained to children that earning their Junior Black Belt, after many year hard work, simply meant that they could entertain further work and studying for the chance to take a Full Black Belt Test.

Instructor Revolution is Kelly's Manifesto for Teaching Children with Passion and Legitimacy without regard for conventional wisdom in regard to constant praise, lowering standards and catering to parents desires. this book is a Must Read for anyone who teaches Children's Martial Arts, a Should Read for anyone who teaches children at all and a valuable reminder about being true to one's self and one's topic for anyone who teaches at all.

After years of teaching the Combat Focus Shooting program and not be afraid to constantly challenge, evolve and tweak drills, concepts and methods, Rob Pincus has boldly discontinued his first Combat Focus Shooting book with a a new work:

Combat Focus Shooting: Evolution 2010

"My first book was about 120 pages... 80 were worth reading and 40 were important," said Pincus, "In the new one the hasn't been any new fluff, there are about 100 new important pages."

The new book increases the amount of information being offered to the student of defensive shooting, expands the explanations for the importance of that information and adds to the drills and training methodology offered to help students increase their defensive shooting competency.
