All right, Christine, what are we gonna learn today for our workout?
So we're going to do some uh
tempo techniques in the air to get our heart rate
going some kicks to the front beside the back,
some elbows and some heel palms.
All right, let's get to it. Ok. So from here we're going to put our hands up.
We're going to start with some fun kicks,
just kick
it. It's not important to kick high if you wanna move your hands to get
the whole body going
and then we're gonna go to the side, side kick good.
But we don't have to go high. You don't have to go high. You can go low if you want.
All right to the back. Now,
that kick good.
Now, do we have to do it stronger?
Like we're trying to kick someone's, I mean,
it would be nice but what's important to keep moving?
The goal here is to get the heart rate going.
Squats.
Squeeze,
squeeze
front
then kick good squat,
squeeze.
Now, why do we keep our hands up like this? Protect the face?
Oh, in a violent situation.
Ok. Now that was a lot for the lower body. Do you have stuff for the upper body?
So we can bend our legs and from here we can heal palm to the side.
Ok. So flat palm, right your hand,
we can also do some elbows,
elbows,
knock them out, good, knock them out.
And from here we can bob and weave,
keep
the hands up. Maybe a punch is coming. You wanna dip
and maybe we could throw a punch too or that you can't elbow or an elbow.
Now,
how would you incorporate some of the things that
we're doing into an actual martial arts routine?
So what we do is if someone's coming in close, you could use your elbows,
he'll palm them if you're a little further and they move in, you can front kick
kick.
Ok? And how is this type of routine different from a regular karate?
Uh It's, it's uh just basic blocks and kicks and like I said,
it's just to get the heart rate up
but um a lot of close range, it's
karate, a lot of close range
and these are things that you would normally
do when you're teaching your students martial arts or
karate.
Um, more, uh just to get the heart rate up,
then uh it would be more with an opponent where they would uh apply it
with each other. OK. So you show me some kicks, you show me some upper body stuff.
How can we take it to the next level if we
wanna do some more advanced moves or more difficult moves,
so more difficult moves would be, uh, say like you were to attack me,
I would never, but
if you have,
we have different, um, counters
against our opponent,
ok? So if someone's throwing a punch at you like
this,
well, what I would do is just a side kick you,
ok? So that's why we, we definitely work more on these kicks in.
Let's get some more kicking in,
right.
So from here we can mix it up now, we can do a front kick and a side kick just to mix it up,
a left leg, front kick
kick.
All right, thanks Christine.
Let's
keep
kicking it. Appreciate it. This is
fun.
