Children's Class Weekly Re-Cap, October 31-November 2
Lil’ Leopards
In this week’s Lil Leopards class we celebrated Halloween! In these special classes we try to practice our Kung Fu with different games. Games can be a great way to show the kids how hard work can also be fun! In this particular class, we played our animal racing game, with a twist. Instead of only running like different animals, we challenged the students to run like some of the different costumes that were in the class.
Tiny Tigers
This week in the Tiny Tigers class we did a favourite of most of the kids and ran an obstacle course. Obstacle courses, like games, are a great way to incorporate many important physical aspects including endurance training, balance and strength training, as well as cognitive skills like following directions and problem solving.
Young Dragons
As we approach the time of year where slips and falls become increasingly common, it’s important to direct our attention to things like breakfalls and shoulder rolls. Which is why we made this our main focus this past week. As we progress with these things, and become more comfortable, they will also start to become second nature in real life situations. If we know how to fall properly, and if we understand how to minimize impact to certain parts of our bodies, we can often reduce accidental injuries or even avoid them altogether. So not only are these things important in Kung Fu applications like grappling, but they are just as important out on the playground.
