Not the Newie Here!

Last week we were getting some new members in.

I was preparing for class & before class my sensei said to me right after I bowed into go warm up before class. He told me that he wanted me to meet this person so I followed him out of the dojang & met this lady & he told me to be her partner through out the class & make her feel welcome. So we talked a little bit be fore ( I reentered with a bow) into the dojang & was helping her stretching as well as answering any questions that she had. Now I know how it is to train someone when the class is going a little bit ahead but luckily it was just grappling! :)

So she was asking me all kinds of questions & of course I didn't mind at all!! I told her how I found the style of martial arts & what I read online about if the style you picked is the right style but anyways. like I was saying I told her how then after settling one Kuk Sool Won & then doing the research for the school closest to me. When we were doing something & stopped & asked me Lu what is shrimpping & i showed her without the sensei noticing to much or not at all.  But even tho im a white belt yellow stripe i can still train someone! I would like to partner up with her again & train her the white belt forms!!! I can remember my first 3 months i wanted an upper belt to help me out with the form training!!

I did tell her about the testing saying that u have to learn 1-3 forms & 1-5 techniques but i reinsured her that within that amount of time she will have it down to pass! But the one thing i wished i told her was to go to a testing to see what its going to be like. Thats what i didn't do & i was all freaked out & worried to the max!!!  After class was done i asked her if she would be coming to the next one & she told me she would but never showed but you know stuff can happen but i wonder if i actually scared her? Any advice on what to do the next time my sensei wants me to partner up with a newie?? What should i say & what not to say.
Thanks

Keep Kick'n It UP!
