2. If you already have some background experience, the teaching situation can be switched so that it allows you (the student) to explain the technique, while your instructor simultaneously demonstrates to reinforce learning. When I was studying karate, students would line up in rows with the instructor in front. Whenever he demonstrated a new technique, he would first turn with his back toward the students so that he was facing the same direction they were. This strategy made it easier for students to imitate the technique. I recommend that the instructor demonstrate techniques this way initially, as well as facing the students so that you can also see how the technique looks if done by an opponent coming toward you. Your instructor might also want to demonstrate from a side view, especially with kicks, to demonstrate such things as how to chamber the leg.

3. A third way to learn is for you (the student) to explain the technique and also demonstrate it. This kind of paraphrasing generally aids your understanding of the material. Discuss the purpose of the technique. Is it a set-up or finishing technique? What are the targets? Without talking about these things, the technique will simply be a set of meaningless moves. How useful is the technique? Are there other ways to handle the given situation? Ask your instructor to demonstrate the results of different combinations of moves. Explore how a partial technique can be used to defend against an attacker. How can you use just the first move, just the middle move, or just the last move of the technique? You are not aiming for mastery at this point, but for understanding. Practice the techniques on another student.

Note that if you are a new student in the martial arts, you need to learn proper mechanics before all the details will make sense. Your instructor should be a little conservative with how much detail she includes in the demonstrations.
