Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, a human boy named Mowgli and his panther friend, Bagheera, are on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle. On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’ musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louiglee, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle. Disney’s The Jungle Book KIDS has a large, expandable ensemble and many strong, featured roles for good singers. Several roles, including Baloo and King Louie, are great for kids with strong comedic skills. Please pack snacks and lunch each day.

The Functional Movement Screen is an assessment to document movement patterns that are key to normal function. Assessing these patterns, the FMS identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. The FMS score is used to track progress and identify exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength.

Flex Ability: New Class !!!!!!
Flex Ability class is designed to safely increase flexibility and joint stability. This class utilizes a thorough, cardio based warm-up to raise your muscle temperature to the optimal point for stretching (a degree or two above regular body temperature.)

This differs from passive stretching, which uses an external force, and can push the body outside of muscular support. This class also utilizes gym equipment, including straps, blocks, resistance bands and the barre, to transform stretching into a perfectly individualized and enjoyable experience. This class includes a combination of muscle strengthening exercises and stretching techniques. It will work wonders on its own, or as a wrap-up to your workout.

The Shaolin program in Fraser Valley is designed to introduce several styles within the Art, including Tai Chi, Animal styles, classical weapons and practical self-defense techniques. Beginners learn the internal aspects of Shaolin with simple Chi-Kung exercises and a 24-posture combined style Tai Chi form and are introduced to the external aspects or the Art through basic stances, sparring, and eagle claw self-defense techniques. As students’ progress they learn many more styles, including things like Tiger, Crane, Monkey and Mantis; weapons like Bow Staff and Er Chie Ku as well as other internal arts like Pa Kua Chang and Hsing I Chuan. Advanced students also practice complex styles like the Fists of Flower Mountain and Drunken Immortal Boxing, adding weapons like Broadsword, Spear and 3-sectional Staff.
