Goal of this exercise is to improve
coordination
Self-awareness
Imagination
The better the imagination, the more refined the fight can be. The imaginary fight against each other requires a lot of anticipation in order not to actually get hit.
Instructions
Each pupil fights an invisible opponent and simulates a real boxing match. In doing so, they take on two roles: they fight themselves and they also have to react to the invisible opponent.
At first, each child fights alone. As time goes by, the fight will become more and more refined.
Boxing with fists only
Simultaneous movements of the whole body, for example prancing and spinning
Reacting to imaginary attacks of an opponent, such as dodging or being hit
Then try the same exercise in pairs - without touching each other. Start carefully and let the distance increase at first. The better the exercise succeeds and the better the two opponents interact with each other, the more realistic they can make the fight. However, the primary goal remains that no child is actually hit. Therefore, a sufficiently large distance should be maintained between the children.
