Students will continue to learn learn the basics of Shaolin Kempo Martial Arts, allowing them to 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 students what we know as our 2 and 3 combination, our 8-point-blocking system with closed-handed-counters, a front-slap-out, and our backward roll. 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.  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 a parent be present during this class and that all students have an open space so that they are less likely to get hurt or to hit objects around them while we are learning our new moves. We recommend first completing our White Belt class before continuing with the Yellow Belt class.
