Annoucements -Loaf - Feb 19 12:45pm

I'd like to congratulate our newest Knight, Arcuss!

Also, Jacen Solo has a big annoucement about his classes:

Good afternoon lady's and germs.

I will be out of town (on a work related trip) for the present week so my classes will be off. I will keep dropping by the forums and Irc with my office laptop.

Also, when I come back I will be doing my seasonal change of class content and schedules.

This will be my new schedule:

Monday 9:00 - 10:00 PM GMT - Home Training

For those of you that don't remember this class, we will work on some common training exercises used to improve your skills while your train by your self or with a partner.

I will concentrate on the demonstration and theory of the exercises, therefore we wont loose time on specific moves. For example, I wont teach how to perform combos but how to practice combo accuracy and timing.

Although this is a class for every rank, expect some advanced moves. Don't worry if you cant perform them, concentrate on learning the practice theory. You will learn on how to master them on the specific classes.



Thursday 9:00 - 10:00 PM GMT - The way of the saber

This class is meant for all Initiates and Learners but J-Mans are also welcome.

As you know although every stance obeys to the same fundamentals there are different sets of rules to each one that makes them unique. We will concentrate on the use of these specific rules on duel situations, combos and counters.




Regarding class helpers for these 2 classes, I will try to use Knights as much as possible but if none is available I will pick someone on the spot and I will use someone different every time.




Friday 11:00 - 12:00 PM GMT - Knights Class

Yes it's true, even if you are a Knight you are entitled to some classes. :)

Like the 1st course created to the 1st batch of knights, this won't be exactly a class. It will be more like a workshop where we will talk about what is or what it should be your job as a Knight and about the problems that you might encounter on the servers and possible solutions.

Our prime goal will be getting you guys some background on how to teach and handle things on the Academy.
As I'm not master of all knowledge instead of forcing you my way of working I will share with you some of my ideas and methods of organizing classes, picking up class materials, handling trouble situations etc. I will also ask other teachers and council members to drop by and do the same.

Again this class is meant for the Knights that haven't attended the last course, although I might be asking them to drop by and share a bit of their experience as knights.



I will do 30 minutes of trials after each class, witch means 1 J-Man trial or up to 6 learner trials.

I won't be taking a Padawan in the near future, instead I will go back to my old system of random private teaching, meaning that if you find me hanging out on a server feel free to request some private tutoring. :)
