KIXX Summer School (14-08-24)

We were very pleased with the response and support despite being in the middle of the school holidays. The time passed very quickly and the children enjoy a busy day of martial arts and fitness training including stretching, basics with pad work, agility using soft gym equipment and crash mats. During their lunch break we encouraged a question and answer session which gave the children a chance to better understand training and objectives. As a diversion before restarting after lunch, Tracy also taught them the skill of paper folding a Lilly place mat for their cups. After lunch we demonstrated a novel use for a skipping rope as a training aid for learning a weapon known as a 9 Section Whip. With suitable spacing constantly monitored between each child, the skipping rope provided the perfect item to learn how to control this flexible weapon with no danger involved. In no time at all, it was time to finish so we handed each child a certificate of attendance for the first Summer School we have been able to hold since before the covid problems.

We hope you will enjoy some of the photos below...
