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 to your current membership to unlock videos that break down every section of your form and every technique! Be sure to check out our youtube channel for videos from the first and second sections of this quarter’s forms! This week is Buddy Week, make sure to bring in friends or family to join you in class. All week long we will be doing fun games and drills for everyone!
Lil’ Dragons: Lil’ Dragons students warmed up with their form. They focused on the technique, Cobra Spit, and Side Winder Step!
