I got my black belt a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow I will be teaching my first class as a black belt. I have taught class many times before, but this one is going to be very special to me. I always like to focus on the fundamentals because it applies to all belt levels. But tomorrow I plan on doing something a little more advanced. I am hoping that everyone will be able to take something from the class.

Awesome! Congrats and best wishes on teaching that class!
I've taught three. I'm not a very good teacher so far.
Congrats! Where do you train and how long have you been training?
Training stories are always fun to read!
Your first class has to be about "self defense" or you're a shitty instructor
Congrats! What did you teach?
I taught a series of sweeps and counters to an under the leg guard pass. It was from a seminar that I went to as a blue belt. It was the one seminar that I took the most from.
Congrats on the black belt.
Congratulations on BB.

The best advice I can give is you're better off showing how well you know, and how detailed you can show, a "basic" move rather than trying to dazzle them with something fancy.
