We will use basic martial arts and simple exercises to teach kids how to wake up and start their day with fitness through karate.  We will cover topics such as how to exercise different muscles and what each muscle does as well as how to defend yourself.  Each class will begin with a quick introduction and then we will do a quick stretch followed by another some punches and kicks mixed in with some blocks and workouts in between to strengthen the moves that we are working on.  My style of teaching is very hands on and fast moving.  I will be showing the moves and doing it with the class, stopping periodically to ask if anybody has any questions before moving to the next part.  This class is similar to a lecture, students will not be interacting as much with each other, they will instead be performing the moves with me as I teach them.  No previous experience in martial arts or fitness is needed.
Since this is an ongoing class, we will be repeating some of our material in this class.  A basic break down of 4 weeks of this class will be as follows:
Week 1(10/18-10/22): Standing Stretching followed by Basic punches and kicks, calisthenics, and ending with seated stretching.
Week 2(10/25-10/29): Standing Stretching followed by Basic elbows and knee strikes, calisthenics, and ending with seated stretching.
Week 3(11/1-11/5): Standing Stretching followed by Basic grappling moves, calisthenics, and ending with seated stretching.
Week 4(11/8-11/12): Standing Stretching followed by Basic punches and elbows & Kicks and Knees, calisthenics, and ending with seated stretching.
