Intergrating Self Proteciton into a Traditional Syllabus

Hello Paul_D,

I'm going through the same process. I'm finding little steps are the best progression. I pick one area for example multiple opponents, come up with a drill or practice scenario (theory), experiment it with a small group (practical), feed the results back in & modify the drill, expand it to a wider group, feed the results back in etc. A progressive & incremental approach. I leave a period of weeks between each try out. One some aspects I've tried the big bang approach and failed but lesson learned. I find the best small group to experiment with are the people closest to you,  who are willing and have no inhibitions about giving honest positive or negative feedback. 

In this way you minimise the impact on the overall club and people continue to enjoy their training without the natural human reactions (stress or anxiety) to change.

Cheers,

Ally
