... just thinking out loud here ... and hoping not to show too much ignorance.

In the martial arts they have demonstrations where competitors show mastery of technique. This gives youngsters, a chance to practice what they have been taught without the full contact.

What if we had something similar for 6 & unders? I see it as a demonstation; where they can demonstate stance, motion, level change, penetration, lifting, down blocks, sprawls, various setups etc. With the use of a partner; kids can demonstate mastery of counter techniques, rides, pinning combo's etc.

Am I completly wet? Would this be a fantastic way our youth can show their understanding of basic techniques?


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
