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!

Lil’ Dragons: Lil’ Dragons students warmed up with partner workouts. They focused on the technique, 3 Snake Bites, and Snake Hug! To help with their Snake Hug students should use their snake hands to strike across and squeeze tight.
