30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Welcome to the martial arts class! In this one time class, we will be learning a variety of movements and strikes stemming from various martial arts. We'll get our heart rates up, our bodies active, and have a lot of fun doing so! We'll use to games to make practicing and getting good repetitions a fun experience. With over 17 years teaching preschool and kindergarten aged studnts, 8 years homeschooling my own four children (current ages of 6-13), and multiple fitness certifications, I have found I most enjoy making learning a fun process, especially when it comes to health and fitness! I have a black belt in MMA (comprised of a Tae Kwon Do/Muay Thai/Boxing/Jiu jitsu blend...the three aspects we'll be exploring in class), and lI ove sharing martial arts / karate with others, especially children! In this one time drop in class, we will: -Warm up with exercises -Introduce a kick, knee, a couple punches, and a sprawl, as well as talk about their martial arts country of origin -Play games to reinforce these concepts and get our heart rates up -Create combos based on learned concepts (i.e. stringing together Jab-cross-hook-front kick) -Discuss the concept that martial arts is more than punching and kicking, but that those who practice martial arts should display kindness and helpfulness to others, as well.

Parental supervision is recommended as this is physical movement class for children. Adequate space to move, free of dropping hazards and anything a child might be injured by, is very important. Lack of supervision may result in injury. Please have children wear comfortable clothing for movement, and a water bottle nearby.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I am a homeschooling mom to four children. I have worked with preschool and kinder aged children for over 15 years, and have done everything from running a preschool center, teaching classes, and designing curriculums for use by others. I also owned my own music business for a few years, teaching children 6 months-5 years the foundational aspects of music. I will offer your young children active, engaging, and fun classes on a variety of topics!
I have my black belt in mma (mix of Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, American Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), as well as a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu, and regularly teach classes to everyone from toddlers to adults. I love helping children make a connection between fitness/health and fun by making workouts a fun experience rather than one to dread.
I am a certified group fitness instructor, and carry an additional certification as a Youth Exercise Specialist. I love helping teens and preteens explore how they can be strong, healthy, and active individuals. I hope to give your teenaged children, whether they are active athletes or not, a great workout through a variety of offerings for fitness, strength, agility, etc.
I have a personal love for financial responsibility. Although I run several websites, I especially enjoy running my site dedicated to helping others how to live debt free and financially wise lives. I love teaching children about entrepreneurship and money matters through fun thematic units such as “building their own cupcake shop”, to help them understand money in a practical, meaningful, way.
I hope that my experience in these areas, as well as my background and love for teaching children will lead to inspiring classes that your children leave feeling accomplished, encouraged, and eager to come back for more!
