 Sempai – Kohai group-work

A practice system used to transfer technical knowledge to learners of various levels.

Senior Students (Sempai) are assigned a new student/’s (Kohai) on a regular basis to guide through the following:

  • What happens in the class: Etiquette, Why, How.

  • Syllabus Practice: Knowledge transfer

  • Training partner: Grading preparation

  • Concerns and Questions: To be feed back to the main tutor

Practice Guide for Sempai (Whole-Part-Whole)

  • Demo the whole of what you want to cover first or let your Kohai practice as far as possible

  • Point out what is working well first, avoidance, posture etc.

  • Pick one thing to correct, and then practice it.

  • Practice the whole again!
