Description:
The students will demonstrate MOMENTUM by generating force from a static position. This will challenge the students physically by requiring them use their leg muscles to push over obstacles.
Teaching SKILLZ:
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION – If the student lands on the pads or falls down, then the student will have five pushups before they can do their kick again.
Brain SKILLZ:
DIVIDED ATTENTION – The student must be able to jump over the pads, while also executing their sidekick chamber and their sidekick. This works on their ability to focus on multiple things at one time.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
Have your students face the stacked pads.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
The 1st student in line will face the pad with their kicking leg in the back.
On round 1 the students will lift over 1 pad, trying to land in a sidekick chamber.
Once every student goes then the instructor can add a 2nd pad to the stack.
After the students get a chance to jump over 2 pad the instructor will then remove 1 shield and hold it for the students.
On round 3 the students will lift over the pads and sidekick!
Step 4 – Takeaways:
Tuck the bottom leg so you don’t hit the bottom.
Push hard to gain momentum.
Use your landing gear so that you don’t get hurt on the way down.
