Is the space marked?

An empty floor; a mirror if available.

Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Take the guard stance.
2. Slip: turn the shoulders a little and bend slightly at the knees so the head moves a hand's width to one side, then back.
3. Duck: bend the knees, back straight, eyes forward, then rise.
4. Step aside: the foot on that side steps out and the other follows.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. In the guard: 10 slips, left and right.
2. 10 ducks.
3. 10 steps aside, left and right.
4. Back to the guard after every move.

How much: 10 of each move, 3 rounds

Call and move

Points

1 point for each right move, back in the guard within a second.

Fouls

No point for that call: bending at the waist; the hands drop; the wrong move; too slow

Win

More points after 20 calls each.

1. ★ 10
2. ★★ 14

Well played.
