“You will not punch me” Kids training with Master Hutton

You Will Not Punch Me – Kids Training with Master Hutton

In this special kids training session, 11-year-old Alicia and 8-year-old Zeke get the chance to train with Master Mark Hutton, one of the most respected and inspirational instructors in the ITF world.

The session is built around a focused patterns lesson, but it is far more than simply “walking through a pattern.” Master Hutton blends power development, conditioning, and crystal-clear coaching cues into a training format that keeps young students engaged while still pushing them to lift their standards.

One standout moment is Master Hutton’s line: “You will not punch me.” It is a simple phrase, but it captures his ability to create immediate focus, intent, and confident body control in younger members, without turning the session into something inappropriate or overly intense.

Throughout the training, Master Hutton reinforces the idea that good patterns come from purposeful movement. He encourages the kids to commit to each technique, to move with certainty, and to treat every repetition as a chance to improve. The message is consistent: quality matters, and young students can absolutely train with high standards when the instruction is clear and the environment is positive.

What you will take from this session

  • Practical ways to coach power and intent in children without overloading them
  • Simple motivational cues that instantly improve focus and commitment
  • A kid-appropriate structure that still feels purposeful and “real training”
  • Coaching details that help patterns training produce visible results

Edited to over 40 minutes, this is pure Hutton: practical, motivating, and fit-for-purpose. It is an outstanding resource for instructors who want better tools for teaching children, and it is also a genuinely inspiring watch for younger students who want to see what focused, high-quality training can look like when delivered by a true master instructor.
