超級空手道兒童 - 課後計畫！初學者（春季）6-10 歲

This fun SUPER KARATE KIDS After School Program  themed class introduces basic beginner self-defense movements and combinations.  Class would begin with a  mediation in order to prepare your mind and body to work. We would set an intention to be maintained throughout the class. A coordination game for 5 minutes would follow. We will have a fun warm-up and stretching (10 minutes) and then we will focus on basic karate techniques for 20-25 minutes. During class we will incorporate a bilingual  approach to learning as we would count the movements in English and Japanese.  In addition, we would have nutritional challenges to insure an educational improvement in mental and physical health. At the end of the class, we would test our knowledge with a memory, balance, and focus challenge depending on the day. To close out on a positive note, we would focus back to the intention set at the beginning of class while thanking ourselves for being present in that moment. By the end of their 14th class (Spring program) they will know full and real Karate techniques.  Students will also be able to develop combined movements of arms and legs with their whole body, demonstrating new skills of coordination, balance, and self defense. At the end, they will leave feeling happy with what they have achieved.
