Children's Class Weekly Re-Cap, March 12-14
Lil’ Leopards
In the Lil’ Leopards class this week we played a running game that included various Kung Fu applications like “splats”, kicks, blocks, and our animal poses. At this level, we like to keep things fast paced and interesting while still working on all of the basic techniques that we will use as the students progress.
Tiny Tigers
This week in Tiny Tigers we used a relay drill to practice our stances, kicks, punches and break falls. Not only are these drills important for developing our Kung Fu, but they are also integral to developing our ability to both remember and follow instructions as well as emphasizing respect and awareness for our instructors and fellow classmates.
Young Dragons Level 1&2
In our Young Dragons classes this week we put much of our effort towards our forms. Specifically Lao Gar. Our forms are developed as a means to practice a variety of Kung Fu in a short period of time. They include kicks, punches, blocks and stances in a variety of combinations that challenge us to utilize all 6 harmonies. Forms have been used for thousands of years for Kung fu training and there is good reason why. If your child ever wonders what they should be practicing at home, it’s their forms.
Special Announcements for All Classes
Spring Break takes place March 25-29. There are no formal classes during this time. But make sure you are still practicing your Kung Fu!
