Organised by Little Legends, an institute based out of Motor City in Dubai, the Kung-fu workshop is among others conducted in various disciplines, including kickboxing, football, basketball and others. The vision for Little Legends is to catch them young as they focus on children in the age group of 2 to 9 years.
“We teach the children a few techniques in Kung-fu like how to deliver a forceful kick, but it is important to do stretching first, then some fun and even a bit of recovery towards the end. That ensures there is no pain or sore muscles later,” says coach Youseef Elsebaey Mohammed, who is also an ace swimming instructor.
“A few of my friends go for Kung-fu and I have been thinking about Karate since the school break last month,” said Anwar Ahmed, 9, a young participant. “After this session, I will compare and decide, but this was fun.”
There are 1,732 events at the SCRF, which will be led by 457 authors, artists, publishers, illustrators, and experts from 66 countries. The event runs until May 14.
