Back to School Expo
We are so proud of all of our students. The Expo on Saturday was a great demonstration of our students and what we try to teach in our studio. It is so very important for us to be visible and accessible to those in our community that do not know us or Martial Arts. I would like to thank Michelle and Curt Nation for taking fantastic photos for me to share with everyone.
Our Juniors class began the morning.
The juniors are demonstrating falling a defensive position.
Our two Little Dragons that are transitioning into the juniors class are ready for self-defense.
Board breaking is ALWAYS popular portion of our demonstrations. The kids love it and so do those watching.
The Intermediate Junior class is demonstrating combinations of techniques with and without hand targets.
They even got to use the beginning level Kali sticks that are foam to reduce chance of injury. This is a way we incorporate Kali into our program.
This group of Juniors even got in on the board breaking. The red and black boards are the most difficult to break because of their thickness.
Our Little Dragon class was combined for this event. They demonstrated movement to avoid the blocker.
They also had a great time with the obstacle course. This is fun for them but it is teaching balance, crawling with cross movement, and jumping alternating feet and spacing on jumps. All of this is developmentally so important for children this age to be learning to be more agile and well-balanced.
We are so thankful to each and every family that brought their children to class at the mall. We are excited by the exposure our school received. We also anticipate future events where our students can "show off their stuff"!
