Fundamental striking, blocking, and grappling techniques across diverse martial arts disciplines. Equips students with situational awareness, defensive strategies, and improved physical conditioning.
A 10th-grade physical education unit focusing on grappling defense, leverage-based escapes, and safe falling techniques. Students apply physics principles to self-defense scenarios, moving from standing releases to ground-based recovery.
A 5-lesson sequence exploring the biomechanics and physics of martial arts strikes and blocks. Students progress from foundational footwork to complex combinations, focusing on kinetic linking and power generation.
A comprehensive 8th-grade physical education sequence focusing on the biomechanics of martial arts striking and blocking. Students explore kinetic linking, balance, and precision through five progressive lessons.
A comprehensive introduction to grappling for 8th graders, focusing on leverage, balance, and positional control. Students learn to use their center of gravity and mechanical advantage to manage physical encounters safely and effectively.
This physical education sequence guides 7th-grade students through the art of martial arts forms (Kata). Students progress from learning traditional patterns to designing, refining, and performing their own choreographed defensive sequences, emphasizing discipline, rhythm, and mental focus.
A 5-lesson unit for 7th grade students focusing on the biomechanics of self-defense, specifically blocking, deflecting, and leverage-based wrist releases. Students explore how to use their body efficiently to protect themselves and escape physical confrontation.
An intensive 15-minute 'Express' session focused on the core mechanics of the clinch and sprawl. Students learn to close the distance safely and defend against leg tackles with maximum efficiency.
A 45-minute cultural journey through global sports, exploring the history, ritual, and physical techniques of baseball, soccer, capoeira, and sumo wrestling. Students analyze sports as a reflection of cultural heritage and conduct independent research on a sport of their choice.
This lesson introduces 10th-grade students to essential self-defense techniques and personal safety strategies. Students will engage in hands-on practice to build confidence and competence in these skills, fostering a sense of personal security and awareness.
