BEGINNER CLASS (A2)
Fighting Stance and movement (front, back, left, and right)
Follow the leader – Round 1 partner A moves forward, rearward, or to the side; partner B follows, keeping orientation and distance constant. Instructor calls “switch.”
Punches – left/right combination
Follow the leader – round 2: same as before, but partner A has focus mitts and holds for left/right combo. Round 3: now the instructor can call “sprawl” or “go.” On “go,” both partners run across the room to the furthest wall from their current position, do 3 burpees, then find their partner and resume the drill.
