Props

Today in the 4 and 5s class we played with empty cups. First, we set them on our glass horse stances and saw if we could balance them there. Next we carried them across the floor with open palms and tried not to drop them. Finally, we tried to stack them into pyramids as fast as we could.

Props are fun but practical to practice with as well as most of the time, out there in the “real” world, we’ve carrying something: bags, phones, books, hats, snacks, pens… something. It’s a bit unrealistic to train in a featureless environment (flat floored empty training hall) dressed in only a t-shirt and pants. Plus, props are fun.
