Beginner Children’s Karate Class Learning Focus
Our Beginner Children’s Karate Class learning focus disguised as a palm heel strike.
We teach focus and concentration by teaching strikes, moves and techniques that require focus and concentrations. This way students are actively practicing focus and concentration without event knowing it. https://stemsports.com/educators-turning-to-disguised-learning/ At Villari’s we do this in every class, along with actually working on focusing consciously. Our forms are specifically used for this. They are long choreographed routines designed to teach the skills necessary for multiple attack situations. Because they are long routines they require lots of memorization which trains the focus and concentration in a far more interesting way than just asking kids to focus or even than the concentration game.
In our Beginner karate classes when we teach new strikes, like the Palm heal strike we are teaching them to focus on their hand and the target to increase their focus. sometimes we also will add Palm heal strikes into techniques or other routines that will increase their focus in our Beginner karate classes.
Palm heal strikes are some of the most powerful strikes we teach so when we work our beginners on it we are also teaching them a useful and practical self-defense move. It could save their life some day in addition to teaching them focus. This is in large part what our beginner children’s karate class is about, teaching basic self-defense in ways that also build confidence, discipline, focus and concentration. It is also about building a strong foundation by teaching stances, blocks, strikes, kicks and footwork, also know as Standard Basics. We first teach our strikes, kicks and blocks in stationary stances to build strong stances, then we teach the footwork. Once Our beginners know these standard basics we start to do them in motion, using footwork. Next we put these all together to build techniques that use these building blocks to increase focus, concentration and they can be used to defend themselves. This is what makes a successful Beginner Children’s Karate Class.
