Students will continue to learn the basics of Shaolin Kempo Martial Arts, allowing them to keep move through the belt ranks.  The material we will cover includes how to properly kick, punch, move, and stand without falling or losing balance.  I will be teaching this by beginning with a quick warm up and then we will move on to some basic martial arts stances and blocks. I will be teaching what we know as 4 and 5 combination, our 8-point-blocking system with open-handed counters, and side-slap-outs  After that, we will learn some of the fighting techniques and katas needed to progress to the next rank.  I will also make sure that students understand that these moves and techniques are for self defense purposes only.  Martial Arts is meant to give students confidence and to make sure they have the skills needed to defend themselves in any given situation.  I do not condone using martial arts for any reason other than self defense. I ask that parents supervise their children during this class and that students stretch before class starts to avoid injury.  I also ask that students make sure they have enough room to perform some of the moves such as kicks, falls, and rolls without hitting anything around them.
