Teaching Lesson: Tachi waza to Ne waza Transition

Lesson Objective: Teaching Tachi-waza to Ne-waza Transition

Demonstration: Demonstrate the specific technique and state the key elements and its value.

When demonstrating a technique:

1. 1. Executed in a perfect manner
   2. Demonstrate technique from many different angles.
   3. Emphasize the key elements of the technique
   4. Ask students if there are any questions
   5. Restate the objective and its value (e.g. “The objective is to be able to execute Ude Hishigi Juji Gatame so that you can complete an armbar correctly.”)

   When your students are at two or three different levels of ability, you may want to establish two or three instructional groups.This can be accomplished using the following three divisions:

   • – Early learning – Focus on learning the key elements of the skill in a controlled situation
   • – Intermediate Learning – Focus on coordination of all key elements in common situations
   • – Later Learning – Automatic use of the skill in contest-like conditions.

   Individuals learn most effectively by focusing their practice attempts on ONE clearly understood element of skilled performance.
