During Parent Participation & Superhero Week… our parents took on the children 😂
Who do you think won the challenge?
Most had no idea that Leonardo of The Ninja Turtles trained here at Lion’s Paw 😂 🥷 🐢
Shoutout to our Mighty Cub (5-6 years old) who cleared 5 bags in our super hero jump competition 🤩

Here is a fun game that we developed where you mix Karate with Baseball 🥋 ⚾️
Playing this game allows students to have some fun while developing skills like…
1. Hand/Foot to Eye Coordination
2. Striking with Power
3. Kicking Mechanics
4. Good Chambers
5. Technique Accuracy and more…
not to mention the social aspect from playing on a team! Have some fun, enjoy and if you play the game in your classes, send us a little footage by tagging us in your upload 😊
