Main Line School Night session II.
As opposed to bringing 6 of 6 core RKC drills into the mix, Phil and I have decided to scrap the Clean and Snatch, and focus on Swing, Get Up, Press, and Squat. Pull Ups, Squat Thrusts, and Deck Squats are also on the menu.
5 x 90 minute sessions is enough to cover the 6 drills, yet 'covering' them is not enough. Phil and I were concerned that the kids would feel that they did not get their money's worth if they only prac app'd 4 KB drills, however, when we learned how much clock was ate up in attempts to teach the first class the clean, we reduced our vision. And by doing that, we expanded our ability.
Makes sense to me Will. I hold off teaching the clean to a lot of my clients. They can just cheat curl it at first and the snatch is a lot smoother to teach to someone who has a lot of practice with the swing.

ReplyDeleteGary/Will,
ReplyDeleteAgreed, have found it easier to teach the snatch before clean.
Easier time for most students to transition from the snatch, pull the bell to rack, then re-clean bell to the same position.
Most if not all seem to get the drill and technique better; if not, they're usually a wall clean away from getting it.
True gents, 'tis time consuming and focusing on the swing and get up will, no doubt, make a Man.
