Re: How to help shy women to have confident training

Just being polite and friendly can go a really long way. Smile when you bow to her to train, smile when you bow to stop training, smile when you thank her at the end of class. Letting her know that her presence is appreciated will go a long way toward making her comfortable enough to open up.

Without, of course, pushing it to the point of being flirty or invasive.
