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! Last week was the start of a new quarter, make sure practice your new material to prepare for an amazing summer quarter!
Lil' Dragons: Lil' Dragons students warmed up with a run through the woods. They focused on the techniques Outside Block and their Front Toe Tap. To help with their Front Toe Tap parents can hold a pillow parallel with the floor as a target, and student should kick up and smack down with their hand to flatten their target! Keep practicing your new eagle form and be ready to show off your Front Toe Tap!
