http://www.ymaa.com/publishing/DVD/external/kung_fu_kids_DVD A fun workout for kids, with training tips for students, parents, and teachers
Kung Fu for Kids is an instructional program that teaches children the basics of traditional Kung Fu in a fun and exciting way. It starts with a simple, follow-along workout that introduces calisthenics and the basic stances, blocks, punches and kicks of the YMAA kids curriculum. It ends with a short cool-down routine to help children improve their balance, breathing, and mental focus.
This video features Ben Warner, who has been a children's instructor since 2001, and several students of varying levels from the YMAA Boston class. Nicholas Yang, the President of YMAA, makes corrections while students demonstrate.
Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming makes a cameo appearance explaining the meaning of the Shaolin sun-and-moon greeting.
A detail section is also included with more advanced students demonstrating the techniques in greater detail for refined study.
What if the kids learning king fu turn into aggressive little bullies?? How do you stop them, at aged 8, from pinching the muscle at the back of my sons neck until he's blinded by pain? How do you stop them attacking with their elbows? How do you stop them locking a child's arms behind their back and kneeing them in the lower spine? I think Kung fu can turn some kids into psychopaths who enjoy inflicting pain on other children.
