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! As our summer quarter continues make sure to practice your forms!
Lil’ Dragons: Lil’ Dragons students warmed up with a series of animal walks. They practiced their Fly Through The Sky, and Wrap Around The Pole from their dragon form! To help with their Wrap Around The Pole parents can grab students' shoulders from behind. Students should twist and drop in place to break the attacker's grip and then punch toward the knees! Keep practicing your Dragon form and be ready to show off your Wrap Around The Pole!
