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.

Working EQ
The Pentagon:
1. Positive Statement:
The positive thing that stood out to me the most was the growth in my base knowledge. Being in karate for a multitude of years, my knowledge is escalated pretty high when it comes to my topic, and the constant research has taught me a collection of things that I still have yet to learn.
2. EQ Content:
The article "Mental Power Training for Karate: Controlling Your Self-Image" by Jesse Enkamp was by far the piece of research that benefited me the most. It goes directly into what I wanted to further my karate knowledge about and it strictly goes into detail about the "mental behind the physical" aspect of karate from an almost motivational speaker standpoint. It mitigated my understanding majority because the way it was written spoke directly to the reader on how to improve themselves. As I read, it gradually become something that I found extremely helpful.
3. What has worked for you so far?
Prevalent things have worked so far, but the most distinguishable technique that has helped me is the one I'm going to discuss. One major thing that helped was uncovering articles that actually held my interest, because that in turn constituted me to understand my research. This continued the process and since I understood my research it has, in my opinion, been of adequate assistance.
Another artifice that has worked in my advantage is the ability to find good research and project exactly what I want to find into the search engines and the internet in general and identify sterling quantities of research. So it greatly assists with the WB and putting that in due process, the WB helps with the senior topic.
4. What hasn't worked so far?
A drawback to having many commodities in my favor, is that it goes both ways. One of the things that have lead to my recent struggle is my inability to prioritize checking the blog. Since a preponderance of the assignments are posted on the blog, it's easy to see as to why this can lead to my downfall.
5. Finding Value:
A) 1. What is more important in karate physical or mental training?
2. What are some other ways to get mentorship hours on karate other than teaching?
B) My goal by the end of this senior project is to have the capability to break karate down to a science to better myself as a competitor and teach students more efficiently. By karate I'm referring to the mentality behind the fighting, because it is one of the substantial places in karate in which many people make crucial errors and form bad habits, and if this senior project can help me prevent that from the source then, regardless of my grade, I will feel accomplished and successful.
C) I would like to interview Mike Kao because when it comes to fighting, he's is one of the best I've ever met. To me it seems like he knows virtually everything there is to know about my topic and would be by far one of the best people to interview. Unfortunately he is not on a consistent schedule that constantly fluctuates, so it may be hard to sneak an interview in with him.
