Tae Kwon Do Second Session - Absorbent Minds Montessori School

Have you wondered what the kids who take Tae Kwon Do do in class? Keep on reading to find out!

Each week the Tae Kwon Do students bow at the beginning of class and reply to each request of Master Barnick and other instructors with a “Yes, Sir!” Respect and following directions are lessons always being taught in between each kick, punch and block.

The class started off this session getting out some energy and practicing following directions by running drills and having to run a certain way to prepare them for upcoming stances they will learn.

Here is a group of white belts with a yellow stripes practicing their punches and stances.

The student below is practicing keeping his knees up using the floor ladder!

Here a child is practicing their board breaking by using different kicking techniques. The students each have a certain style of kick they must learn based on the color of their belt.

Below, Master Barnick gives this student a high five after working with her. He encourages them to cheer for one another and be supportive of their fellow classmates.

In this lesson, a student is working on her balance by jumping from pad to pad on the ninja bridge. An extension of this lesson is ducking and blocking to avoid being tapped by the “sword”. The children are always practicing patience while they wait for their next turn.

Fireball is a favorite game of the students that they get to play at the end of each session if they had good participation.

Each student who completes all of the activities for that session each week, earns two stripes on their belt at the end of the session .

This class takes their second belt testing this Monday! Wish them good luck!
