Kid's Class... Flag Sparring

On sort of a whim I decided to have the kid's Kung Fu class do flag sparring. I was completely amazed at how well it went. There was no arguing, injuries or anything else that could have gone wrong. Everyone seemed to have lots of fun and most of the battles were fairly evenly matched.

I also changed up our warm ups, focusing entirely on synchronization. This worked pretty well as I was leading the entire class and I only made the next move once everyone was still. So we all made each step in relative unity. It still breaks down the moment I am not leading but it is a good first step. There is still SO much work to be done with their basics.

Their balance during the crane stance is also improving in slow increments, but improving none the less.

Everyone put in a good effort tonight. A good way to end the week! More later...
