			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Martial art achievement badges can be used in a variety of ways.  We have tried and tested the the following method.</span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Every 4 weeks hold a badge night evening. Students can do a small test on a certain technique, for example reverse punch. Perform the technique as standing basics and moving basics, then on the strike shield (punch bag), then do a simple one step sparring technique with a partner using a reverse punch and /or a self defence technique. Also make sure the student knows the name of the technique in the language of the martial art studied. If the student is not up to standard let them try again the next lesson. After the test students can choose the badge they want to achieve next time. This test can be simplified depending on the age of the child.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Attidude and effort badges can be given out at the instructors discretion.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Instructors can charge between £1.00 and £1.50 per badge test or incorporate into your monthly fees.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We also have attendance badges that are given out every 3 months. These badges go up to 2 years training. For 2 years plus there will be badges available later in the year.</span></span></p>

<p>If your not using Martial Arts Badges then there is where you are going wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>At <a title="Martial Arts Bagdges to motivate your students" href="http://www.martialartsbadges.com" target="_blank">martialartsbadges.com</a>, we sell top quality badges at very reasonable prices, cheaper than our competitors.</p>
<p>These badges are ideal to encourage junior student enthusiasm. All children love to receive badges and stickers etc. Here at Martial Arts Badges we have created a new and exciting range of fabric sew on badges to cover skills, attendance and attitudes towards martial arts training.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For instructors who <strong>do not</strong> like their students to be covered in badges we have designed a student progress folder to put the badges in. <span style="font-size: small;">This folder enables the junior student to collect badges and have them neatly in one place and keep their karate uniform badge free.</span></span></p>
