Assistants

An assistant typically helps a trainer or instructor run the class. The assistant supports the teacher and can help individual student. Often an assistant is also the person on whom the teacher or instructor demonstrates the techniques. After the assistant has gained some experience he/she might be asked to take over parts of the class. The assistant might be asked to take care of the warming-up for example.
