Sweep the Leg PE Nation!
Martial arts provides a powerful dimension to physical education programs with benefits extending far beyond self-defense. After achieving my black belt in karate 21 years ago, I've incorporated martial arts into my PE curriculum to help students develop character, confidence, and practical skills.
• Partnership with a local Taekwondo studio bringing a 7-9 week program to second graders
• Non-contact program featuring blocks, kicks, and strikes with no physical interaction
• Students learn respect, modesty, perseverance, self-control, and honesty
• Martial arts accommodates different learning styles and preferences
• Building self-confidence helps students stand taller and feel more secure
• Basic self-defense skills provide foundational safety knowledge
• Program culminates in a board-breaking ceremony where parents hold boards for their children
• Students receive white belts and certificates to celebrate their accomplishments
Go for it!
