BEFORE YOU START

You will need to be in FULL LIONS uniform. This way you look and feel like a warrior, ready to go. This class is a class like every other, getting dressed for the event puts us in the right mind-set for training. 

Get some music! From music psychology we know that the sounds around us dramatically effect our energy. We need high energy to do our best and perform at our peak. 

Have water to hand to take regular breaks (between every 2 drills works well).

Now you have completed your lesson, lets do the Quiz challenge to see if you are a super ninja! 

Sensei Lukha's method of teaching: Educate comes from the Latin word 'Educo', meaning to draw out from within. Asking questions allows our LIONS to think and be creative while gaining a deeper understanding of what is being taught. It empowers them to become thinking proactive people. If Sensei says something then it means one thing, if our LIONS say it then it means EVERYTHING. Some of these questions are designed to check understanding, others are designed to make the LIONS think about what they have learned and why it is important. This is why Sensei asks so many questions in class.
