Children's Class Weekly Re-Cap, Feb 20-22
Lil’ Leopards
In the Lil’ Leopards class this week we had some fun with our parachute. Our parachute is a fantastic tool to develop many different skills. In this particular class we utilized it to work on our reaction time, following instructions and working together as a team. In addition, it also doubled as a secret hideout where we talked a little bit about what Kung Fu means and how it benefits us.
Tiny Tigers
This week in Tiny Tigers we worked on many of our basics, while also improving our cardio and stamina. Using our “musical dots” drill, the students would run until the drumming stopped, at which point they needed to hustle to the nearest dot. Depending on what colour they landed on, they were then tasked with various things like kicks, punches and different Kung Fu animal poses. It was a great drill to burn off some energy while practicing our Kung Fu!
Young Dragons Level 1&2
In our Young Dragons classes this week we spent much of our time working with our Stick. From various articulations to developing individual components of our Stick form, we used our time to really fine tune our skills. Besides the fact that it’s just super fun and makes us feel awesome to train with weapons, there are actually many other much more important reasons we include them in our training. Learning how to use one also teaches us how to defend, they tend to high-light the things that we need to work on in other areas of our Kung Fu and they are a tool to help build confidence, discipline and control. When we learn these things using weapons, we can easily transfer these skills to other areas of our life outside of Kung Fu.
