In this blog series, we will post minders 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 this quarter’s forms! Last week was Stripe Testing, congratulations to everyone that tested for their new stripes!
Lil’ Dragons: Lil’ Dragons students warmed up with a run through the woods. They focused on the technique, Fighting Stance, and Belly Flop! To help with their Belly flop parents can grab onto students' wrists. Students should circle both hands outward and up before pushing down to swat away their attackers' hands! Keep practicing your Snake form and be ready to show off your Belly Flop!
