CHALLENGE 9 TEST

Triple "B" (Building Basic Blocks) Part 3

TIER 1 - SINGLE FACET MOVEMENT

Drills for Skills - Blocking

Drill 1: #1 & #2 Blocks Lvl 1

Outward Blocks (#1 & #2 Blocks)

Practicing this circular outward block movement enhances coordination and spatial awareness, allowing individuals to gain greater control over arm positioning and movement patterns. The isolated clockwise and counterclockwise motions on each side of the body support bilateral integration and reinforce the brain-body connection. This movement also promotes fine motor control and arm stability, which contribute to an improved sense of body awareness and overall motor confidence.

Drill 2: #3 & #4 Blocks Lvl 1

Inward Blocks (#3 & #4 Blocks)

This movement integrates upper and lower body coordination, as the hand moves across the body in sync with a hip turn. By maintaining the hand below eye level without direct visual focus, it strengthens proprioception, enhancing awareness of hand positioning. This block also fosters hemispheric coordination, supporting body balance and spatial orientation through the combined movement of arms and core.

Drill 3: #5 & #6 Blocks Lvl 1

Upward Blocks (#5 & #6 Blocks)

Practicing this upward block enhances coordination, strength, and spatial awareness by guiding the arm in a smooth, controlled motion from across the body to an overhead position. This movement pattern helps develop cross-body coordination, improving bilateral integration and reinforcing brain-body connection. The upward lift strengthens shoulder stability and increases range of motion, supporting body awareness, arm control, and confidence in movements that involve overhead reach and protection.

Drill 4: #7 & #8 Blocks Lvl 1

Downward Blocks (#7 & #8 Blocks)

Practicing this downward block promotes cross-body coordination and body awareness by guiding the arm in a focused, grounding motion from the opposite ear toward the same-side knee. This movement pattern strengthens core stability as students learn to connect upper and lower body actions, reinforcing balance and enhancing motor control. The controlled, downward sweep builds shoulder strength, encourages wrist stability, and fosters confidence in protective movements that support a sense of groundedness and spatial orientation.

TIER 2 - DUAL FACET MOVEMENT

Drills for Skills - Blocking

Drill 5: #1 - #4 Blocks Lvl 1

Outward Blocks coupled with Inward Blocks

Performing this sequence of blocks 1-4 enhances coordination, spatial awareness, and body control. It reinforces coordination and balance while maintaining awareness of hand positioning. Additionally, the combination of arm and core movement fosters hemispheric coordination, boosting body balance and spatial orientation for greater motor confidence and adaptability.

Drill 6: #5 - #8 Blocks Lvl 1

Upward Blocks coupled with Downward Blocks

This sequence of upward and downward blocks enhances coordination, stability, and body awareness by integrating arm movements that cover both overhead and downward motion. Together, these blocks improve overall arm control, spatial awareness, and balance, fostering body awareness and confidence in movement.

TIER 3 - FLUID FACET MOVEMENT

Drills for Skills - Blocking

Drill 7: #1 - #8 Blocks Lvl 1

Outward Blocks coupled with Inward Blocks

Combining blocks 1-8 enhances overall coordination, strength, and spatial awareness. Together, these movements integrate upper and lower body coordination, strengthen proprioception, and enhance motor control, offering a comprehensive system for practitioners to improve movement versatility.
