Status:
This is an ongoing weekly class (every Wednesday 2:00pm) during the school year
Problem / Opportunity:
To give the 4th and 5th graders from El Verano elementary school the opportunity to develop physical, and mental skill associated with traditional martial arts classes.
Proposed Solution:
1) Supply each child with a martial arts uniform at no cost to them.
2) Have the 4th and 5th grade students escorted to our martial arts school from the B&G club once a week for a 45 minute class.
3) In order to continue classes students must be receiving passing grades and in good standing at B&G club after school program.
Action Plan:
1) Teach basic skills for student to progress through stripping program and promote to next belt level.
2) Use this opportunity to conduct "Mat Chats" about basic life skills. These chats would be 3 to 5 minutes in duration and cover wide variety of topics pertinent to their age.
4) Allow these students to also train on Saturday mornings to be able to experience a more traditional class with many belt levels and ages.
Results:
This is the second year of classes, we have had 41 students use the program with 4 returning the second year
