Strength
Core strength and stability
Over the last few years the importance of ‘core stability’ in athletic training and preparation has been increasingly recognized. The ‘core’ refers to the trunk, and core strength comes from the many muscles all around the trunk, some of which are quite deeply buried. A strong core provides body control and allows you to generate maximum power with your arms and legs – it is the foundation upon which the rest of your functional strength is built.
Physical Development and Athletic Skills
Development of balance, strength, and agility. Within a short period of time students become stronger, better balanced, and more graceful. Emphasis is placed on the ability to flow through a wide variety of positions and postures.
