Blog 15 Independent Component 2 Part Approval 1) For my second independent component I plan on competing at a national tournament, and if possible winning a first place. 2) This plan will meet the required 30 hour work requirement, because the tournament itself will be at least 5 hours, and the other 25 hours will be needed to train in order to not die against other competitors. 3) My working EQ is about how to win a karate sparring division, so this independent component relates to my question because what is a better way to find the answer to a question, than experiencing the situation first hand.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1) For my independent component I plan on selecting a few of the students at the studio and helping them get better, by giving them one on one attention, and trying to get them to pass the test and ascend in rank. 

2) This would require a minimum of 30 hours because of the strenuous effort I would have to put in to ensure that not just one student is at top notch performance, but a multitude are. It typically takes about a 3 to 6 months for a student to learn and practice all the necessary requirements for the next rank, and when I have to be the one ensuring that they can learn and perform all requirements efficiently, you could see where the factor of time would come in.

3) This relates to my working EQ because of the fact that through teaching and helping, I am also practicing, and the best way to practice is to teach. This is because when you teach you really have to know and think about what you are doing as opposed to just going through the motions. So with that in mind, this helps the majority; The student because they are getting one on one attention, the studio because they will have good quality students, and most importantly myself because I am always getting better.
