Hello AMAI Family!
In this blog series, we will post reminders of what the students worked on during the previous week. This gives you or your child ideas for how to practice at home between classes. If you need extra help on any movements or sections of the form, talk to your instructor about adding a Virtual Membership onto your current membership to unlock videos that break down every section of your form and every technique! Test week in coming up soon, make sure you sign up at the front of the school!
Lil' Dragons: Lil' Dragons students warmed up with form practice. They focused on the techniques Cranes Beak in a Cat Stance and their Crane Stance. To help with their Cranes Beak in a Cat Stance students should be able to use their cat stance to dodge any incoming strikes or grabs. For an added bonus students can use their cranes beak to block and push away any strikes coming their way! Keep practicing your crane form and be ready to show off your Cranes Beak in a Cat Stance!
