Children's Class Weekly Re-Cap, April 9-11
Lil’ Leopards & Tiny Tigers
In both the Lil’ Leopards and Tiny Tigers classes this week our main focus was on balance and agility. Using relays to the heavy bags, as well as obstacles along the way, we challenged the students to work on these skills while also developing their kicks and cardio!
Young Dragons Level 1
In our Young Dragons classes this week we spent the majority of our time working on our shoulder rolls. We typically introduce shoulder rolls slowly, to ensure that we are doing them safely. We have also come to recognize that our students can differ greatly in how they are able to both mentally comprehend the mechanics and then perform the steps physically. To help the students with this, we introduced shoulder rolls in a few different ways so that the students can try them all and find a way that works for them.
Young Dragons Level 2
In Young Dragons Level 2 we focused on sparring. For most students, this will have been their first exposure to sparring and so we made sure to move slow. Sparring is an excellent way to apply all of the things we learn in Kung Fu, but in a real-life scenario that is still monitored and safe. From the basic strikes and blocks…to staying calm and in control….it challenges us to utilize a wide variety of skills that we are constantly developing throughout our curriculum. Not only did they learn alot this week, but they all had a blast!
