Teaching SKILLZ:
CHOICES – The instructor can allow the students to pick which kick they would like to do: front kick, round kick, or side kick. The choice will empower the students and motivate them to do well during this drill.
Brain SKILLZ:
WORKING MEMORY – Every time a student does a kick, they must be able to remember the four parts to the kick. This works on their ability to hold onto information while performing a task, as they must recite and execute every part to the kick, every time.
