Keeping martial arts classes fun and educational

I love keeping classes fun and educational. This week we have a fun drill called heart breaker. We have a ton of big paper hearts cut out of paper and we practice our punches and kicks on them. The fun part is you have to try and rip the paper with your punch and kick. It makes a great sound when you hit the paper and it is surprisingly difficult to rip a piece of paper with a punch or a kick. Oh yes, by the way we are only holding the paper with one hand :)
