1. Divide your students into lines.

1. Explain the rules:

• • Place one hand on the Wavemaster top for balance and the other hand in guard.
  • Chamber one leg and place the ring around that foot.
  • Kick the slammer pad with only the ball of the foot (front kicks) for 3 reps, without touching your foot to the floor or dropping your ring.
  • You have 2 chances to make it to 3.

1. Takeaways:

• • Keep your chamber knee high.
  • Extend through the ball of your foot.
  • Don’t kick so fast that you drop the ring.

1. Continue for 2 sets, switching legs on the second round.

1. Divide your students into lines.

1. Have the instructors start from one step away.

1. Explain the rules:

• • The instructors will throw the pad.
  • The student must punch the pad so that it will fly straight forward.
  • Then the instructor will take another step away and then throw the second pad.
  • If successful, take one more step away and throw the final pad.

1. Takeaways:

• • Focus on the pad.
  • Punch in the middle.
  • Re-chamber your punch.

1. Continue until each student has two turns.

1. Divide your students into lines.

1. For each line you will need the top of a wavemaster cushion or stack of pads with a foam block sitting on top, and an instructor approximately three steps away.

1. Explain the rules:

• • You will lay on your back with your head towards the cushion.
  • When I say “go” you will jump to your feet and punch the block to your instructor.
  • Your goal is to punch the block right in the center with the proper part of your hand.
  • If you hit the block properly, then the block should fly directly into your instructor’s hands, making it easy to catch.

1. Takeaways:

• • Punch the block hard.
  • Punch the block straight.
  • Stand up fast.

1. Continue until every student has three turns.

1. On the second and third turn, make it a contest to see who can punch the block to their instructor the fastest.

1. Have your students make a straight line. You may need two lines depending on the size of the class.

1. Teach the students how to kick the slammer pad with a round kick hitting the target with the top of the foot.

1. Teach the students how to kick the slammer pad with a front kick using the ball (or bottom of the foot).

1. Teach the students how to kick the slammer pad with a side kick using the heel.

1. Now randomly call out a kick and the student must react fast and kick with the appropriate part of the foot.

1. Divide your students into several lines with no more than four to a line.

1. The first student in line will have to solve a simple math problem. For example: What is 2 + 2? Stick with math problems that only include numbers 1 – 5.

1. Many of your younger students will have a hard time figuring them out, so show them how to use their fingers to add.

1. Once they solve the problem, have them kick the target equal to the sum of the math problem.

1. Continue until each student has at least three turns.

1. You can add variety by changing the technique to a different kick, strike, or even block.

1. Pair your students up with a partner and divide the pairs into groups.

1. You will need an instructor to hold the pads and three small targets for each group.

1. Explain the rules:
   • • One person will stand against the wall and then other will stand approximately 6’ away.
     • The instructor will hold the target as the student punches the target at their partner.
     • The person against the wall must dodge the target.
     • If you get hit, then you have to do five jumping jacks.

1. After the student punches all three targets, have them switch roles.

1. Divide your class into several lines.

1. For each line, you will need an instructor that will punch the dodge ball at the student, and an assistant to help retrieve the ball.

1. The first student in line will stand against the mirror or wall. The instructor will be at least 4 steps away.

1. The instructor will toss the ball in the air and then punch the ball aiming at the student. The student must dodge the ball.

1. If the student gets hit, then he/ she will have to do 3 push-ups.

1. Do this at least 5 times.

1. You can make it fun by having the instructor do 10 push-ups if he/ she cannot hit the student with any of the shots.

1. You can make it even more challenging by having the student switch roles with the instructor.

1. Divide your students into several lines.

1. The first student in each line will stand in front of the wave bag in striking distance and close their eyes.

1. The instructor will call out left or right punch and the student must hit with the correct hand.

1. If the student punches with the wrong hand, then he/ she will have to do 3 push-ups for each mistake.

1. Do this at least 5 times.

1. Continue until each student has a turn.

1. Repeat the drill by calling out left or right kick.

1. You can make it challenging by calling out combinations.

1. You can make it even more challenging by giving the left and right hand and feet names. For example:
   • • Orange – left punch
     • Apple – right punch
     • Banana- left kick
     • Grape – right kick

1. Takeaways:

●     Keep your eyes on the rings

●     Do your best to FOCUS on the colors the instructor says

1. Divide your students into lines.

1. For each line, you will need an Instructor holding a clapper pad

   • • The 1st student in each line will stand with both feet inside the ring.
     • When the instructor says “GO” the student will demonstrate alternating front kicks while staying in the ring.
     • When the instructor says “STOP” the students must stop kicking and sit down inside the ring.
     • If the student steps out of the ring they are disqualified for that round.
