WHAT WE’RE WORKING ON.
Form
Ki Bon
Use slow practice to check sequence, stance, and transitions. Apply one correction before the next repetition.
Stick combination
Three count, both sides with partners
Develop both sides and coordinate rhythm, distance, and attention with a partner in class.
Self-defense
Wrist release and follow-up sequence
Use the other hand as taught, step back, and release toward the thumb side. Connect backfist, ridge hand, and knee strike in the taught sequence.
BEYOND THE BELT · THIS CYCLE’S LIFE SKILL
Choose your response. Own your preparation.
Intentional training means pausing before reacting and preparing before performing. The same habit helps you respond respectfully under frustration without pretending the feeling is not there.
AT HOME, TRY SAYING
“What do you want your next choice to accomplish?”
NOTICE THE LITTLE WINS
Notice self-correction, thoughtful preparation, and a respectful response under pressure.
A LITTLE PRACTICE AT HOME.
Plan three short sessions of about 10 minutes each week. Repeat A, B and C to cover all four curriculum sections and Beyond the Belt. Work through a small form section, use open hands for your stick pattern, and picture the moves as you build control and recall.
- A · KICKS + FORMReview front kicks 1-5 slowly, with a balanced return. Work on a short Ki Bon section and apply one correction from class.
- B · STICK COUNTS + SELF-DEFENSECount through your three-count pattern on both sides with open hands. This helps your body remember the rhythm and direction. For self-defense review, say and picture the wrist-release, backfist, ridge-hand and knee-strike sequence in order.
- C · REVIEW + BEYOND THE BELTRevisit your kick correction and Ki Bon section. Practice one pause before responding in an everyday conversation. Note what improved and one question to bring to class.
Use only movements your instructor has assigned for home. Keep practice gentle, with clear space and the supervision they recommend. If a solo version has not been taught, count, name, or picture the steps and bring your question to class. Leave sticks, targets, partner grabs, contact, locks, chokes, jumping, and spinning for supervised class. Never use a household object in place of training equipment.
YOUR NEXT STEP.
Ask your instructor which skills are your priority right now and what readiness looks like for your next milestone. We’ll help you understand the expectations and recognize the progress you’re making.
