I also like to go attend too!
I personally have picked some skills from being massage from the
experts in WanYang. While you are being massage, take note of how
they do it and you will learn some from there too. I personally
like Chinese massage technique the best and this is where I can
tell you sth I know.
To be really good, I believe you need to put effort in these
areas
1) Massaging techniques.
You can use different parts of your body to massage. Your palm,
fingers, elbow seems to your tool. When and what part to use can
yield can different results.
E.g. Using the elbow on the back muscle is quite a good approach.
As the elbow is stronger and you can use your weight to add
pressure as and when needed. How much pressure to apply is also
very important and you must feel and apply the pressure
accordingly. Pressing too deep into the muscle will hurt the person
and pressing too soft is not massaging the person.
2) Massaging location
This I think needs a lot of studying and is probably even more
difficult to master than the massaging technique. Knowledge in this
area helps you to do localized massaging. Thus you can provide much
better service to customer than the usual massage the whole body
which is often what most customers are not looking for.
3) Massaging sequence
The sequence I guess is also impt. But I know nothing about
this.
4) Massaging essentials
This is probably easiest to learn where u know what bed, oilment,
powder, massaging tools like comb, chopsticks, etc would enhance
the massaging effects.
