This class will start off with a 5 minute dynamic warm-up. After the warm-up I will start off by teaching the proper body mechanics of how to move while kickboxing. Foot movement drills will be demonstrated and practiced by each learner. I will be helping each learner to make sure they are comfortable with the foot movements. I will be demonstrating the kickboxing techniques on both in the air and on a stand up punch bag. If your learner has a punching bag and gloves that is great but not required. Each learner will be taught how to throw a proper jab and reverse punch. We will practice the punches 10 times on each side. Following the punches each learner will learn how to properly throw a knee kick, front kick, round house, side kick and back kick. Once the punches and kicks are practiced multiple times than the learners will practice combinations with both hands and feet. This class is structured like a kids kickboxing/martial art class but not as strict. I am all about having fun while achieving a great safe kickboxing workout. Each learner will be able to practice the techniques after I instruct them in the movements. All learners will be able to interact and see each other during the class. I believe each learner with be able to encourage one another during the kickboxing class. I will be offering kickboxing classes on an ongoing or multiple day basis for your learner if they are interested in learning more kickboxing techniques. No experience is necessary but your learner should have a doctors clearance to be able to take part in a kickboxing class. Movements can be modified if needed for each learner. If your learner has a punching bag or soft surface to strike that would be great to be able to practice the techniques. I look forward to meeting you and your learner. Feel free to send me a message and question you may have.
Learning Goals
Each class will build upon each other. If your learner has experience that is great but each learner will start with the basic punches and kicks. Has each class progresses the learner will feel comfortable moving a while punching and kicking at the same time.
Week One: Front punch, reverse punch, hooks and upper cuts. Followed by knee and front kick
Week Two: Review week one and include more hand and foot speed. The round house kick will be added with movement skills.
Week Three: Both week one and two will be reviewed and the side kick will be added. Also body conditioning and cardio will increase
each week.
Week Four: All weeks will be reviewed. New punches/strikes, blocking and back kick will be added to the learners skill set.
Week Five: All weeks will be reviewed with combinations and more movement added. Techniques will be refined and each learner will
have better body awareness.
Week Six: All weeks will be reviewed and double kicks will be added. Hand speed drills and punch combinations with be added.
After six weeks the learner will be able to understand how to protect ones self while kicking, punching and be able to block with both legs and arms. They can continue for an other six weeks to a private sessions or intermediate levels training.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parent supervision is required to make sure the learner is in a safe environment.
Requirements for class:
The learner should have at least a 6 foot object free clear circular workout space. A safe movement area is very important to prevent injury. The learner can be barefoot or wear socks if on a soft carpeted floor. If the learner is on a hard floor it is required the learner be wearing lightweight sneakers that are comfortable and supportive to protect their feet. A water bottle should be available for the learner to stay hydrated before, during and after the workout. A hand towel should be available to be used to wipe sweat from the body.
It is advised that the learner eat a light healthy snack (Example. half a bagel with almond butter) an hour before the class to make sure that they have an adequate amount of fuel to exercise without developing low blood sugar.
Light movement and stretching beforehand is suggested but the class will start off with 5 minutes of dynamic stretching.
Safety Note:
Injuries can occur during the class and safety is my top priority. Learners will be taught on how to move safely during the exercise kickboxing class. Kickboxing is a form of self-defense but should only to be used in a life threating situation. Good behavior in class and outside of class is a must to prevent injuries to ones-self and others. I will advise learners that parental supervision is required if they want to practice the kickboxing skills outside of class.
I strictly prohibit the kickboxing to be used on anyone else in the home. Kickboxing is to be used only in serious situations. (Example: kidnapping situations) The class will be a great learning experience for your learner. Also a excellent way to reduce stress while at home in between the other coursework. I will encourage the learners that having good grades in school is very important.
Supply List
Just bring water bottle, towel and smile to have fun.
