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! Next week is Test Week! Make sure to sign up for testing at the front of the school. If you have any questions about testing ask your instructor or stop by the front desk!
Lil’ Dragons: Lil’ Dragons students warmed up with a series of animal walks. They focused on the technique, Cobra Kick, and Burrow! To help with their Burrow parents can bear hug students from behind and try to pick them up. Students should reach their hands up as high as they can to break their attacker's grip and then drop and roll back to escape the grab! Keep practicing your Snake form and be ready to show off your Burrow!
