—SETUP—
Since the digital classroom is different than a standard classroom, learners may need help getting set up. Here are the following ways we set up Zoom for class:
1) Stage Picture! Every family must know how to position the camera properly so that each learner can be seen from head to toe on the screen. Sun theater, this is called our “stage picture” and we use it often to make references when learning moves!
2) Zoom’s Whiteboard Feature. Besides martial arts, we also practice DRAWING and watching superhero videos from YouTube. So parents should ensure that students know how to use Zoom’s whiteboard drawing feature for the optimal experience. Otherwise bring along a piece of paper and colors to draw with.

—CURRICULUM—
The Superhero Fitness+ curriculum is comprised of:
- “Vibranium Method”: Fitness for the 3 Main Areas of the Body
- “Spider Senses”: Performance Martial Arts, Theater Improv, & Camera Work
- Superhero Video Discussion

Every month resets our training cycle:
WEEK 1 - Upper Body Strength
WEEK 2 - Core Strength
WEEK 3 - Lower Body Strength
WEEK 4/5 - Full Body Flow

Every week’s superhero theme is decided by vote the week prior and reoccurring votes rollover in the queue for the following week. Common themes are:
Spider-Man & The Sinister Six
Marvel Avengers & X-Men 
DC Justice League & Teen Titans
TMNT
Super Mario
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Smash Bros & Pokémon  

Using these Superhero Skills, we build character, skills, connections, and combos that enhance our fitness level and imaginations. Everyday we study a new Superhero of the Day to learn new ways to use the exercises we learn in class.

Learners will interact with the coach by showing the Coach the Superhero Skills of the Day after copying the flow or instructions of the Coach. We also:
watch superhero videos,
draw superheroes,
play listening and reflex games, 
go on “superhero imagination adventures”, 
have “superhero showdowns”, 
and do “next level” skill challenges.

Learners regularly receive spotlights and shoutouts as an example of excellence or spirit, as well as have a chance to be a leader in class games or “superhero imagination adventures”. However, Learners may also be asked to wait their turn to share or lead if things get too exciting.

Coach regularly chats with learners about superheroes, answers trivia questions, and uses learner suggestions in activities. Students are encouraged to wear a superhero costume as well!! Coach Spidey ALWAYS wears something Spider-related in class. Bonus points if you match Coach!

Sometimes in class we will use our “superhero gear” to supplement and boost our workouts. Superhero gear is a household item like 
a pillow, 
the couch, 
a water bottle, 
a toy sword, 
superhero specific gear (like Captain America Shield),
an action figure, or 
a towel. 

These items will function with our imagination to represent things superheroes interact with like a shield, a car, a cloud, a building, a superhero or supervillain, Thor’s hammer, Wonder Woman’s sword, etc.

The class will consist of a group size of up to 6 kids. Class time is structured in two 15 min portions of superhero-inspired movement and art discussion prepared by Coach Eurico.

Class movement goals include building strength, agility, flexibility, balance, cardio, and absolute beginner martial arts & tumbling! Class artistic goals include learning colors, drawing shapes, taking direction, using team work, creating characters, and telling stories.

No prior experience is required. Past experience with Zoom is recommended.
