Learning How to Kick and Punch a Ball Martial Art Style

Obstacle Training

Making an obstacle course in the training hall is a great class starter for kids' classes. Don't let anyone stand around waiting in line - assign a time killing exercise like jumping jacks or running place between turns at a station. Some ideas for stations to keep everyone moving:

• Jump over a pile of kicking shields
  
• Crawl through a tunnel of kicking shields without touching them
  
• Jump over a series of heavy bags laid about two feet apart
  
• Kick or strike a hanging target, hanging bag or stand up heavy bag
  
• Weave around a line of hand targets
  
• Duck walk under a hanging heavy bag
  
• Look in the mirror and kihap loudly five times
  
• Roll between two kicking shields without touching them
  
• Block an " attack " by a blocker or foam wand
  
• Kick a paper cup off of the top of a standing bag
  
• Crawl under a stick balanced on two chairs
  
• Walk on a line on the floor (masking tape works well and removes easily after use)
  
• Hop over a belt laid on the floor to form a zig-zag course
