Skill: Momentum
Drill: Call Your Shot
Equipment needed: None
Instructors needed: Few to Monitor
Description: Students will practice having good Momentum by being able to call out how many shots they can break a harder board with and beat one of their classmates.
Teaching SKILLZ:
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION – If the student chooses the blue board one round and they are able to break it, motivate the students to try one board harder. If they chose a board they could not break, motivate the students to try that board again instead of going down a board, because if they are able to do something that they were not able to do before, they will be proud of themselves and will improve.
Brain SKILLZ:
RESPONSE INHIBITION – The students must be able to break boards that are harder than they may be used to. This works on their ability to do a task despite distraction, the distraction being any doubt they may have about them breaking a board they are not used to breaking, or they have to break a board that they know is difficult to break.
Step 1
Separate your students into lines, based off of how many instructors you have.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
The first student in each line will come up and choose a board higher than the green level.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
  • They then will choose what break they want to do and say how many shots they will do it in.
  • The second person in line will have to do that same break.
  • The goal is for the first student to break their board within the shots called, their partner will then try to do the same thing or beat the amount of shots.
  • If the second student is able to beat the first student then the first student will have 5 push-ups
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Aim for the middle of the board so that it has the best chance to break.
  • Move your body so that you can use the momentum of your body.
  • Be smart with your break, don’t pick something that is to difficult. Then you won’t get better.
Step 5
  • Continue for 2-3 turns.
