Coaching children used to be exhausting and difficult. Not only they did not progress as fast as I planned, but they would often eventually quit. But it all changed when I realized what I had to do to change that for all.
You already know WHAT to teach. You and your martial art system has its own way of kicking, punching etc. I will help you HOW to teach these in 50 gamified methods.
If You Can Use These Simple Games instead of Classic Drill, You Can See the Change in Your Students’ Motivation and Your Enrollments Number
Coaching children is a difficult job. We, coaches, fighters, and athletes know that basics are the most important thing to learn, and it is what you also start with as a kid. So we teach the same techniques over and over because we understand the importance of that. But our students would rather fly around and do fancy moves. It is so hard to keep their motivation up for long-term training! Some of them are talented, some of them are really into it. But as time progresses, they are not improving as fast as you expected. They get bored, demotivated, and eventually, they will leave. That’s OK! The martial arts journey is tough and not for everyone, right?
You have some students left and new coming, but the story repeats. And it is true for you, too: Teaching the same techniques, drilling beginner’s basics, makes you slowly frustrated and burnt out because the students do not care about basics! It is very difficult to keep the students and the school is not growing as you thought. You are an excellent martial artist, but being a successful coach for children is a totally different challenge.
How to retain your student and keep them motivated, excited, and finally reaching their potential.
How to make your school grow
How to look forward to teaching your kids classes again and coach with the enthusiasm you had when you were starting

Do You Wish To See You Students Bringing In Their Friends? Do You Wish Your Students Train As Hard As You And Love Martial Arts As Much As You Do?
How many children have been enrolled in your school in the past? And how many of them are still training? Do you remember those talented, fast learners? How of them reached their potential? I know it is difficult to teach the basics to the kids, the same technique over and over again. But basics are very important, I absolutely agree. And meanwhile, you became maybe a bored a bit. You start to get burnt out. You see your students not willing to drill the same thing again, and eventually leaving.
You know your school can bloom, but it is just not growing the way you expected. Being a coach for children is very hard work. Maybe you even doubt yourself now.
Why the Children in Your Class Are Not Progressing And How to Change That
I started learning martial arts in 1999. I was so excited and so hard working. I was one of those kids who would happily do 100 kicks and think it is “awesome”. I started with Karate Shotokan and after reaching my black belt and slowly transitioned into Hung Gar Kung Fu. At that time I was already coaching for some years. I was enthusiastic, always doing detailed lesson plans and preparing curriculums. But teaching kids was so difficult! Especially the basics, the same technique over and over again. And I knew it was very important to teach, but I also saw that nobody is willing to train as hard as I did and in the same way. So I started to think. I moved from Europe to Asia, Hong Kong, and emerged myself into the Chinese culture of traditional martial arts (and also started my MMA journey). I got into a Ph.D. program and managed to travel the world for my research: visit universities and also small schools, talk to the instructors, and see and feel. I almost froze in a school in Wudang mountains and near the Shaolin, I did interviews in the universities in Shanghai and Beijing, I discussed with coaches in UK and Germany… And I watched and learned from all the other disciplines and sports: gymnastics, all kinds of martial arts, football, athletics. When I returned to Hong Kong, I sat down, and after several months of work, I had a new curriculum and new methods to teach. Since then, I had almost no training session where I would ask the kids to simply drill or repeat over and over. I make it a game, and they repeat even more! My students became motivated and the word of mouth started to spread around. I often have friends of my students coming to the class to see what is going on! And so can you.
A GAME
The reason why kids complain when asked to do 20 kicks, but happily do 50 if it is a race (without even noticing)
The single most efficient way to motivate children
Using games in the class will just distract the students from serious learning. Right? Wrong! I will explain how gamification will help with your students’ retainment and motivation
My name is Veronika Partikova, I started my training and coaching martial arts journey in 1999. I was so much in love with it, that I eventually moved from Europe to Asia to follow my passion. I have two degrees in Education and a Ph.D. (a Doctoral degree) in Sport Psychology, specifically focused on martial arts. I am a World Champion in Kung Fu, an amateur fighter, and a member of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Coaching Association I am not only an athlete and fighter (click to read more. Mainly Hung Gar Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts), but I have been coaching for more than a decade. It took me a long time to realize that nobody will train as hard as I do (and well, if I find someone like that, I will be one happy coach!) and especially nobody is willing to walk the same journey as I did. So I had to find a way how to coach a complex martial arts system in a new, modern way, that will still make my students train hard and let them fall in love with martial arts.
So far I have coached around a thousand students, including kids and adults, beginner and serious athletes, university students and staff, families, workshop participants, corporation program participants, wushu judges, long-term class attendees, etc. I was interviewed by several printed and online magazines and podcasts and appeared in China Daily to represent kung fu (as a non-Chinese to represent a Chinese martial arts in Chinese media!).
