I need your input. I teach Modern Arnis/Balintawak in a small club. Right now it is half women and half men and things seem to go pretty smoothly. I have just changed our training location which gives me the opportunity to expand our club. We were meeting once a week for about an hour and a half. The new location will allow us to train longer as well as bring in new people. I am going to have a women's only time slot. We'll do 6:30 to 7:30 just for the girls then 7:30 to 9 as a mixed session. The girls will be able to stay for the second session if they want. It will be totally optional. I am doing this split because every time I mention a women's only class I see raised eyebrows and hear "Oh! I like that" so I'm going to give it a try. Here's where I need you guys. What do I need to do and not do in a women's only class. The only thing that is etched in stone is having me as the instructor. Other than that I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks

Sir -
I'm a little confused by the "women's only" time slot, then the "6:30 to 7:30 just for the girls". If you meant adult female for 6:30 to 7:30 class, then please say women. Personally, as an adult, I'd be very offended to be referred to as a "girl".

As for a female-only class, great idea. Excellent opportunity to concentrate on self-defense and even sparring.
