A law enforcement academy in-service program, and a week is pretty reasonable.<br /><br />If the target is professional self-defense instructors, then a week is also probably reasonable.<br /><br />For a lot of people -- the average school owner, self-defense "hobbyist", etc. -- a week can be a lot harder to swing. That said -- I've done some very good training in a 4 day camp or seminar running Thursday through Sunday, which is much more easily done for a lot of people.<br /><br />I think it's an attractive idea, and definitely worth the effort to flesh it out and see where it goes.jks9199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-29787186593575851702010-09-25T17:30:52.467-07:002010-09-25T17:30:52.467-07:00I've done a couple week long martial arts inte...I've done a couple week long martial arts intensives in the past and enjoyed the immersion. I also very much enjoyed interacting and getting to know the other participants - shooting the sh*t, training with like minded but different individuals, and exchanging ideas and experiences.<br />It seemed that having a whole week changed the pacing of the material, and allowed a place for 'returning' which appealed to me. <br /><br />Now, your quarterly training would also achieve this, just on a different time frame - take stuff home, work on it, come back, add new perspective, troubleshoot problems etc.<br /><br />So, a yearly cycle of training would be great - there's an element of a 'conversation' in it that definitely appeals to me. <br />As a student I improve if I have generated questions to answer (intellectually, emotionally and physically), and having a place to take them would be cool.Maijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264657619197571965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-29476276580512304632010-09-25T15:11:35.538-07:002010-09-25T15:11:35.538-07:00Not really thinking about a week-long course.

Do the basic and/or lectrue stuff in the evenings during the week and the advanced stuff on the weekend. That way you could sell access to the basic stuff separately, allow folks that know the basic stuff to only come the weekend, and have the days free for individual, small group coaching, or to cover additional material, or more material in depth.Edwin Voskamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009915371951966733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-9591136686330243522010-09-25T08:53:04.238-07:002010-09-25T08:53:04.238-07:00You sound like you have more than enough for more ...You sound like you have more than enough for more than a single course!Alvinhttp://21dragons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-26447233636332231742010-09-24T16:42:59.946-07:002010-09-24T16:42:59.946-07:00A one week intensive?
