A combat horting instructor must be a specialist who is able to develop special physical and spiritual qualities in his students, have detailed knowledge of the subject he teaches. The knowledge of a combat horting instructor must be based on an extensive stock of theoretical information and personal experience in the practical application of the technique of techniques. Teaching is an integral part of a long-term journey in combat horting. The relationship between the teacher and the student fuels the very spirit of combat horting. Combat horting owes its rich history and culture precisely to the fact that traditional knowledge is constantly and continuously passed down from experienced trainers to students, from one generation of athletes and specialists to another.
Experienced masters of combat horting highly value strong ties between teachers and students. Often, only after reaching a level of training that gives the right to teach, does the student first seriously think about how talented his coach is. Only then does he begin to realize that a brilliant fighter and a great master do not necessarily have to turn out to be a real teacher. Without sufficient experience in all the various directions of combat horting as a martial art, it will be difficult to effectively teach his followers. A trainer must be a well-educated and versatile person who has deep knowledge of all aspects of his professional activity, since all the martial and health-improving folk traditions and centuries-old wisdom accumulated in combat horting can be comprehended only after many years of hard daily work. The teaching methods of each combat horting trainer are determined by his lifestyle, nature of work, personal culture, personal qualities and individual sports experience. This means that there can be as many different methods as there are teachers. However, in combat horting teaching there are also general mandatory principles, applying which a trainer-teacher can make his work as effective as possible.
Teaching combat horting can be considered both an art and a science. Considering it as an art suggests that, since teaching is the transfer of knowledge from person to person, flexibility of approach, moral values and emotional participation should be put in the first place. According to the scientific point of view, teaching is an orderly process and, in order to be successful, it must obey certain scientific principles and rules. The best results in the educational process are achieved with a balanced combination of these two approaches. A rigid curriculum and the requirements of discipline, softened by the flexibility of the trainer-teacher and his attentive attitude to the needs of his students, create the most favorable conditions for the effective transfer of knowledge. Therefore, in your work, you need to find that balance in the use of these two approaches that best suits your individual characteristics and supports the necessary working sports atmosphere in the combat horting circle.
In the process of teaching, try to avoid extremes. An excessively strict training regime and high demands on discipline prevent students from taking initiative and systematically developing their innate qualities. On the other hand, unsystematic classes do not allow students to feel safe and do not allow them to fully concentrate on the educational material. If you notice that the atmosphere during the training sessions is becoming too strict or soft, try to return it to its previous state of stable equilibrium. In order for students to follow all the instructions of the coach, he must be an absolute authority for them. Not numerous victories in various tournaments and competitions will give such authority. What is crucial is what the coach is as a person, and not his past achievements and successes. To become a good teacher, it is far from enough to simply be able to teach. You need to have the talent to understand your students and the ability to maintain good relations with them. You need to have a kind of calling to teaching and clearly imagine the goals of your work, have theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject and be a professional in your field. Among other things, it is important to firmly believe in what you are doing.
Teaching combat horting is the process of transferring knowledge to students, possessing which they will be able to perform certain physical actions, as well as instilling in them the spirit of martial arts. There is no such secret method or way that could bring instant success to any coach, it is a path of long-term knowledge and self-improvement in the pedagogical sphere. In combat horting, the leadership of students is defined as determining the effective direction of the educational group's activities to achieve certain sports and spiritual results. Successful leadership involves the active work of the coach with students, as a result of which the tasks set for the educational team are solved.

In addition, your sphere of responsibility includes such aspects of management as drawing up a class schedule, determining the club budget, organizing public relations, assessing the growth of skill and the number of students, and participating in the work of the club's parent council. Guide the club's activities by learning the doctrine of combat horting, ensuring that each student does not just engage in combat horting as a hobby, but follows the path of this martial art. Lead your students on the true path, without wasting effort on extraneous activities, and even more so by distracting them into other educational systems. To become a qualified teacher, you must have deep and professional knowledge of how to properly manage students. Your job is to eliminate external obstacles that arise before students, and thereby help them achieve their goals. But let students independently overcome all the difficulties of a physical and mental nature, since only under this condition will they be able to mature and gain confidence in their own abilities. By solving their individual tasks, your students also solve the common tasks of your combat horting club. Therefore, you must always remember that each student is an integral part of that powerful force that moves your entire club forward. To do this, you must do your best to encourage the individual growth of each of your students.
Each person begins to engage in combat horting, guided by their own reasons and motives: some strive to win the highest titles in competitions, others want to develop self-confidence and find inner peace. Therefore, the trainer of a combat horting club must have the ability to teach his students all aspects of the studied art, taking into account the individual needs of each of his students. To do this, you need to have a detailed and thorough curriculum. Everything that you teach your students should be interconnected and aimed at achieving the goals they set for themselves. Each stage of your curriculum should be distinguished by the physical and spiritual progress of your students.
Curriculums in combat horting clubs can be different and not similar to each other. Typically, athletes learn technique by mastering self-defense skills and conducting duels, develop perception and discipline by performing instructional exercises of basic combat horting techniques, and train psychological balance through meditative practices. In addition to these basic disciplines, there are many others that vary. Depending on the requirements of the combat horting competition section that you teach, you can change the proposed recommendations in such a way that they most fully correspond to the fulfillment of the tasks set before you. Planning what you are going to teach your students is very important in order for each lesson to be as harmonious and fruitful as possible. For example, if during the lesson you intend to warm up, practice duels, perform basic exercises and learn new techniques, then the time allocated for each type of activity should be determined in advance. If you allocate strictly 15 minutes. for each type of activity without taking into account the thematic content of the lesson, then you can turn the lesson into a boring and monotonous procedure.
Irrational planning or the complete absence of such will lead to rapid fatigue of athletes and will cause them to feel dissatisfied with the lesson. When drawing up a curriculum, in addition to those that you intend to consider in the lesson, consider such factors as extremely hot or cold weather, the level of physical and psychological preparedness of students, the presence of calendar competitions or exams, etc. The listed and similar conditions force students to reconsider their immediate goals somewhat, and you need to make appropriate adjustments to the curriculum.
