This is one of my favorite ways to practice side kicks. It forces the body to posture in a way that supports balance but also provides structure and stability for kids to focus on foot positioning.

This is our 20 way block drill. But more importantly, it is focus, confidence, self control, and self discipline.

We call these sit-ups. They are working on abdominal muscles to sit up. But they are also working on break falls. We keep our head up because our brain controls our body and we don't want to hurt our brain. We slap the floor with our arms (not hands, not elbows) because it causes less injury to the joints when you fall, and diverts energy from falling from the torso through the arms, "breaking the fall."

So much more than hitting sticks together. When kids (or adults) work on difficult drills with a partner together, they are really working on coordination, focus, teamwork, body position and awareness, distancing, and perseverance.
