Science – Mrs. Cecil (3/4 Homeroom)

Physical Sciences-We will explore the many sciences that focus on non-living matter, energy, and physical properties of our universe.   Our studies will include concepts found in the sciences of physics, chemistry, geology and astronomy that analyze the nature and properties of energy and non-living matter.

Martial Arts – Shihan Yocham

At this location we will be educating the physical, mental, and spirit via a very well rounded and complete martial art curriculum. It is called Okinawan GoJuRyu. Although Okinawa is credited with its origination it has had various influences. We are able to trace our pedigree back to the 1800’s with some parts of the curriculum dating back to the B.C. era.

We will reference modern day science with this classical curriculum to better our understanding of ourselves. By looking into how to express our energy with a stronger spirit we will find we can obtain more physical power. We will explore how performing a technique differently trains our slow twitch muscles as well as our fast twitch muscles.  We will look at models and diagrams of the human anatomy to see which techniques require which parts of us to be most exercised and conditioned.

Martial Arts – Scope & Sequence

Our country has become more multi-cultural than ever before. The universal language of karate is Japanese so we will get to learn and use some Japanese vocabulary.  Some examples are basic counting, etiquette, and maybe even how to write some simple characters.

Each student will have an opportunity to earn rank which will increase the acknowledgement by allowing them to move faster into the leadership part of the program. We will be lead to be mindful and extremely mentally present throughout our techniques which will create more observations on how to use our energy (the spirit part) to develop more speed and power to the physical realm. 

September and October:

• First pin stripe material
• Awareness of which muscles should be engaged to be most efficient in our body movements.
• Awareness of how to align our limbs to aim accurately.
• How to breath diaphragmatically, which nerve it directly stimulates and how it affects our brain.
• Testing strength and conditioning so we track improvement through the year.

• Second pin stripe techniques.
• Teaching points on “awareness” as we have in September but different techniques require different muscle engagement. We will continuously talk about which muscles we are using, where they are, and how we should be using them.
• For breath control we will expand the lesson to breathing as a tool for self-discipline, self-control, and how that serves us from quite prayer to intense physical exercise.

• Review and improvement of the previous techniques taught for first and second pin stripe.If students have been practicing at home they are likely to be ready to move on to the third pin stripe techniques. If they are ready we will move into them but if not we will implement placing prepared students into leadership roles and build them into stronger leaders. Direction will be assessed based on what the majority of the class is capable of demonstrating. 
• Review our strength and conditioning numbers by testing our numbers.

• We will move into the third pin stripe techniques.  This will be when the class splits into more leadership development through leading our peers through the techniques. Expectations are that the intensity of exercise will rise by raising the intensity and speed of technique performance.  
• Diaphragmatic breathing rhythm will be a regular part of class by now.
• Application of techniques in how the more obvious application of our techniques have many more applications that are not as obvious but can still be potent.
• Review in a fast moving format the techniques by putting the hand and foot techniques we have worked on creating unique combinations.

March:

• We will break into the fourth pin stripe techniques.  
• Increase emphasis on stretching and lengthening our muscles to increase their performance.

• Build deeper into how to provide potent leadership.
• Implement fifth pin stripe techniques.

• Test our strength and conditioning to compare our test results throughout the year.
