well, desipline doesn't mean you have to resort to old school slap the knuckles with a ruler thing.
when i'm teaching a class if I have a bunch of kids that don't want to pay attention, then we do cercuit training. Minute drills. Or a quick mile or 2 mile run, sometimes settles them down and there more reseptive.
Team drills on bags is helpfull. It keeps the kids pushing each other to do well.
but, you can work with a kid, be creative in the disiplining and tactics and if all fails, then sometimes a suspension may be in order. One or two kids slowing down your intire class can sometimes be harmfull, exspecially to the ones who are serious about the training. But, kids parents can have some influence on behaviors, after all there usually the ones paying for the classes.
doing speed drills or circuit training as a consiquence for not paying attention and settling down usually does the trick. And a simple bowing in and out of class, maybe a little thing, but it shows the respect to the gym and the instructors.
