Description:
The students will develop core strength and coordination in this drill by doing a crab crawl then balancing while kicking in that position.
Teaching SKILLZ: TRICKERY
The instructor can say another word that sounds like “go” in order to trick the students, like “gopher” and “ghost”. This will further test their auditory processing, as they have to listen for the whole word and not just the sounds of the word.
Brain SKILLZ: ATTENTION CONTROL
The student must be able to crawl all the way down the mat while keeping their belt up high, and then do ten kicks in their crab crawl position. This works on their ability to focus on one task for an extended period of time, as they have to keep their belt up high for the whole time they are in their crab crawl position.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2 – Setting up the Drill:
For each line you will need one kicking target.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
When you say “go” the students must crab crawl down the mat, keeping their belts up high.
When they reach the instructor, they will perform 10 kicks staying in crab position.
