Notes;
These are the key elements that we need KTX students to learn. Add in additional techniques as you see fit.
Techniques must be taught in order; this will ensure all techniques are covered regardless of who is teaching.
Match students of equal skill and size together, as opposed to letting students choose their own partners.
