The student will do a full sit-up and try to chop their partner’s head as their partner dodges from side to side..- Teaching SKILLZ: INTRINSIC MOTIVATION – The instructor can ask the student as they come up how many they want to do, five, ten, or fifteen, depending on who they want to make proud (Five=instructors, ten=instructors and parents, fifteen=instructors and parents, and blackbelt mindset).
