The Survey Analysis

The Survey

Recently we made a survey by using questionnaires. Members present in the session responded actively in this survey. The results and analysis of this survey is listed below:
There are some Areas of Concern that we need to look into them.

First, the frequency of training. There are 40% of members indicated that they wish to have twice a week of training. We understand their concerns as their objectives in join the session are to improve their physical conditions as well as to learn and practice a martial art.

On the other hand, they also indicated that they would like to keep the $20 per month charges as it is. Our concern here is: Looking at the present inflation rate, is $20 per month charges enough to cover the coaches transports as well as the time and knowledge that they put into the session? In fact, our charge has not been change since 1996 until now. Therefore, we need everybody to give a thought in this issue.

In fact, we are in the process looking into resolving this problem. We will keep members inform in due course. (We are only referring Tanglin Trainees here!)

On another more happy note, we also noticed that members has rated the coach and the quality of training that they have obtained on the high scale. We appreciate the feedback from all members and promise to deliver better service in the future.

First session of Aikido for Karate blackbelts

First session of the Aikido cross-training for our members was successfully conducted on 6th July 2008. Blackbelters who attended the session reflected that was a good attempt for a karateka to experience other forms of martial art. All of them have given a thumb up for this session. We wish to express our gratitude and thanks to Roland Teo, who initiated this session and volunteered to conduct the session. We also wish to thank his friend, a skill female Aikido exponent to join us and co-coach for the session.

Development of Coach

In the current sport scene, coaches also need to upgrade themselves in terms of coaching knowledge and it related issues. KSK coaches are always being reminded to keep themselves with the latest knowledge in coaching, so that they could provide the best coaching environment and knowledge to the members.

Shihan Chia strongly believes that martial art is an ever evolving art. Therefore, keep an open mind and continuing acquire new knowledge is one of the main tasks in present coaching situation.
