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

It looks like I’ve got another new student - maybe two - for the adult class. That’s great. Earlier this week, I talked about a sort of “critical mass” of students, below which it’s hard to entice new students. And “recruiting” (for lack of a better term) seems to be especially hard in adult classes. For whatever reason, karate has become “something kids do.” Adults who’ve trained in the past, and miss it, are a fairly frequent occurance, but adults who’ve never trained are very difficult to reel in. I’m curious how others overcome this.
