How did you get started teaching?
I started as a black belt teaching karate and while I was teaching and fighting my career unfolded in front of me. I was bullied in HS and decided to "take my power back" and learned how to fight so I could stand up to my bully. My podcasts talk all about this so check them out to hear more. I have been teaching for over 27 years and most people know my name! I have taught way over 20K people by now!
What types of students have you worked with?
From people that are obese and never worked out a day in their life, to miss RI pageant competitors to Pro athletes. Most of my clientele are teens and women ove 40 that want to get in shape.. lose the belly, tone the arms and lift the butt!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We hold our own events all the time and raise money for people in the community.. we have fight like a girl and fight like a dad and try to make a difference in peoples lives! RKB Changes lives....
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Simple.. don't settle for someone that has NO experience. Alot of these POP up kickboxing franchise hire people that are cute and have personality and have no experience. They train them in a weekend... at my Rondeau's KIckboxing all my trainers were students, fighters and then trained and certified by ME personally. I settle for nothing less then good trainers that can teach great Technique!!! This is a sport and you need to learn the right way how to punch and kick. Ask for someones credentials in the RING.. their experience actually KIckboxing as a PRO!!!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How long have they been teaching?
What is their background?
Have they actually fought?
You can't really teach proper kickboxing in my opinion unless you have been in the ring and actually applied what you are teaching to your students.
