WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH US
From the very first day our staff arrives at your facility we work hard to bring excitement to your residents and keep them engaged! Our staff specializes in giving personalized and individual attention to those who need it, all the while keeping the class moving forward and progressing on schedule as a whole through the prescribed event or program curriculum.
We bring more with us than decades of martial arts instruction. All of the equipment needed is provided by our staff. Very light-weight elastic bands are used for resistance training for better tone and exercise throughout the movements. At a later level for those people who want to develop more strength and better reflexes, we use pads and other targets for striking to help them develop their hand eye coordination (I’ve been told that punching & kicking them is fun, too!)
Proprioception is the sense that lets us perceive the location, movement, and action of parts of the body. Aging causes alterations in various body functions, such as motor, sensory, cognitive and even psychosocial. With aging, proprioception is also affected, among other functions, which may result in poor perception of the position of body in space. This is essential for normal functioning of the body during movements and in maintaining balance. Because of this, we’ve developed a number of proprioception exercises. These exercises are designed to increase their speed, accuracy, and help them become accustomed to assessing spacial relationships and distances.
THE ACTUAL PROGRAM ITSELF
The task begins with our team analyzing your interests and goals, and other information provided concerning the program participants. Then, in the instance of any particular physical or mental health challenges, we begin matching up the criteria with specific training methods we’ve developed over the last 3 decades of providing these services. Next, we determine what – if any — special equipment we may need to implement in order to meet your stated goals. After working out a coherent schedule, ensuring that proper assessment tools and criteria are in place, we prepare the lesson plans – and their alternate contingencies . Finally, we arrive at your facility with bells on and help everyone who’s participating in the program feel physically good, learn a heckuva lot more about their bodies’ designs and how to maximize whatever persoal goals they may have for themselves personally, and make sure that despite all of the work they’re putting in – They’re Having Fun, too!
