We’ve been working on our jump/kicks with the toddler group. It usually takes them a while to be able to coordinate both moves in to a jump kick but, look at little miss go!!

You’re a super star, Raffy!

You don't have to be fit, but maybe a little brave :)

I think it fair to say that the mums out number the dads on the mat at the moment…

WE SEE YOU, DADS!
The mums are out here, kicking goals (sometimes heads) earning belts and learning how to TAKE YOU DOWN!

Meanwhile, I’ve heard allllllll the excuses from the men…

‘I’m not a fighter’ ummmmm, me either but I HATE running so learning to fight felt like a safe compromise.

‘I don’t have time’ a MUM would never say that. We’d just create the time. It’s quicker than complaining about having no time.

‘I don’t want to wear the pyjamas’ ummmm, it’s called a gi. Pretty much a heavy duty tracksuit. It has an elastic waste. PERFECT for a dad bod.

‘I’m too old to start something new’
*cough cough* bulls**t. MUMS ARE ‘OLD’ TOO

So, quit the excuses, create the time, join us on the mat. I’ll supply the *pajamas*

Discipline is my fave skill. If we have good self discipline, we can do the right thing WITHOUT being told. (Tip for kids…. If you have REALLY GOOD self discipline, it helps keep your parents off your back 😉)

Oh my. I love a straight line. I can’t explain it, but it scratches an itch I didn’t know I had. Is there anything more beautiful?

This is one of our rolling drills for the preschoolers this week.

It might look like ‘just a bit of fun’ but what are they really working on?

🫶🏼they fine tuning their GROSS MOTOR SKILLS.
Their little hands and feet are working in unison to achieve their goal

🫶🏼 they are working on CONTROL. How quickly can they move whilst maintaining control or a rolling object?

🫶🏼 AUDIO PROCESSING following quick and sharp instructions as fast as they can is a skill!

🫶🏼 healthy COMPETITION. Is it ok not to be the fastest? Of course!!! Not everything is race. Most of the time it’s about your own personal race and there’s no need to compare.

Above all, they are having FUN!

The best way to learn 🫶🏼

Mat chat is by far my favourite part of class. Not only do we discuss what skill we are working on, but, we use the time to build CONNECTIONS with the children.

We use it to find out about their day and their lives. Who had trouble at school/kindergarten? Who has any exciting changes happening at home?
Who has a ‘win’ to share?

It really is the best time to build relationships.

Added to this, how else would we find out that mum burnt the bacon last night??
