Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

It was a pretty normal day in class tonight, but I do have an announcement: I’ll be covering classes for ISKF Tempe while their instructor is unavailable, from mid-November through the end of the year. In return, he’ll be covering for me during a couple of trips I plan to take in the first half of next year. The take-away here is that it’s very important to cultivate relationships with other instructors in your area. If you’re the only instructor at your dojo, it’s really difficult to go on vacation, or even deal with illness, without cancelling class. If you can find other open-minded and similarly styled instructors in your area, build those relationships.
