  • 40min: Line drills consisting of basics, combos, and jumpkicks
  • 50min: Forms rotations

Warm-ups, conditioning, and stretching are group activities done with everyone attending practice. For drills and forms, club members are grouped together based on skill level (beginner, intermediate, and advanced).
