Animal Movements Classes help children increase their:

• Self-control
• Strength
• Energy
• Body awareness
• Concentration

Children love imitating animals. I first teach children how to crawl like different animals (e.g., monkey, bear, tiger and lizard). I then teach how to stand and step like animals. These animal movements are adapted from Chinese martial arts (going back hundreds of years) and continue to be taught to millions of children in Chinese and Taiwanese schools.

In Junior and High School movement classes, I introduce swinging sticks. Stickwork tests hand-eye coordination and their ability to perceive their bodies moving in space. Once competent with sticks, I teach open hand movements.

I can integrate into your physical education classes or be part of your after-school program.

Children receive more benefits from my classes than from any other sports. Studies show that children who crawl more (when they are young) develop more cross-brain communication and a larger cerebral cortex.
