Emotional Warmup Activity

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a technique aimed at enhancing focus, mindfulness, and concentration through exercises that involve tensing and relaxing different muscle groups. This method helps reduce anxiety and stress, allowing students to absorb the lesson content more effectively.

1. Ask students to stand with their feet hip-width apart and arms comfortably by their sides.

2. Instruct them to close their eyes and take deep breaths, concentrating on their respiration.

3. Begin with the feet: ask students to tense the muscles in their feet for a few seconds, then completely relax.

4. Repeat this for the muscles in the legs, hips, stomach, chest, arms, and finally the face, ensuring each group of muscles is tensed and relaxed one step at a time.

5. At the end, encourage students to take a few more deep breaths and gently open their eyes, maintaining a sense of relaxation and focus.

Content Contextualization

Martial arts extend beyond mere physical contests; they embody key principles of discipline, self-control, and mutual respect. In many cultures, martial arts are regarded as an art form that nurtures personal and emotional development among practitioners. For example, in judo, a core principle is 'Seiryoku Zenyo', which translates to 'maximum efficiency with minimum effort', teaching students the significance of using their skills wisely and effectively. Similarly, 'Jita Kyoei' promotes the concept of 'mutual benefit and prosperity', underscoring the importance of positive interactions and respect on and off the mat. Through learning about martial arts, students not only gain technical knowledge but also essential social-emotional skills applicable in various life situations.

Development

Duration: (60 - 75 minutes)

Theory Guide

Duration: (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Main Components of Martial Arts

2. Judo: A Japanese martial art emphasizing throws, holds, and submissions. Key principles include 'Seiryoku Zenyo' (maximum efficiency with minimum effort) and 'Jita Kyoei' (mutual benefit and prosperity). Rankings range from white to black, and scoring is based on ippon (full point), waza-ari (half point), and yuko (technical advantage).

3. Karate: A Japanese martial art utilizing punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes, with respect and discipline as core values. Ranks begin from white and ascend to black, with scores awarded for clean strikes and effective techniques.

4. Taekwondo: A Korean martial art renowned for its high, fast kicks. Key principles include courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and an indomitable spirit. Ranks progress from white to black, with scoring based on valid strikes to the body and head.

5. Capoeira: A Brazilian martial art that fuses elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It is danced to the sound of the berimbau and other instruments. Ranks are referred to as 'cordas' and differ by school. Scoring in competitions is less common, focusing more on artistic expression than on strict techniques.

6. Judo Example: A student employing the 'O Soto Gari' fall technique effectively showcases 'Seiryoku Zenyo' principles.

7. Karate Example: Executing a precise 'Mae Geri' (front kick) illustrates self-control and discipline central to the art.

8. Taekwondo Example: A spinning kick to the opponent's head, earning high points, reflects the skill and rigorous training of the practitioner.

9. Capoeira Example: Movement like 'Meia Lua de Compasso', performed with smoothness and rhythm, exemplifies the unique blend of artistry and combat in Capoeira.

Activity with Socioemotional Feedback

Duration: (30 - 35 minutes)

Martial Arts Championship Simulation

Students will be divided into groups to participate in a martial arts championship simulation. Each group will select one of the studied martial arts (Judo, Karate, Taekwondo, or Capoeira) and conduct practical demonstrations of the techniques and rules they have learned. This activity not only allows for technique practice but also fosters social-emotional skills such as respect, self-control, and teamwork.

1. Group students into teams of 4 to 5 members and assign a martial art to each group.

2. Each group should choose a representative to briefly present the characteristics and rules of their chosen martial art.

3. Groups should practice some basic techniques of the selected martial art and prepare for a demonstration.

4. Designate a safe space for each group to present their demonstration.

5. During the demonstrations, encourage other groups to observe and note positive aspects and areas for improvement to provide constructive feedback.

6. Once all demonstrations are complete, gather students for a group discussion.

Discussion and Group Feedback

To implement the RULER method in the group discussion, kick off by asking students to recognize the emotions they experienced during the championship simulation. Inquire about their feelings while demonstrating techniques and observing their peers. Then, guide them to understand the reasons behind these emotions by discussing how preparation, practice, and performance of techniques impacted their feelings. Motivate them to name these emotions accurately using words like 'nervousness', 'excitement', 'pride', or 'frustration'. Move on to leading a dialogue about how to express these emotions appropriately; for instance, how to express frustration constructively or share pride in achievements without overshadowing others. Finally, assist students in regulating their emotions by suggesting strategies for maintaining control and calmness in future situations, within and beyond martial arts contexts. This discussion not only consolidates the technical content learned but also promotes a supportive atmosphere for collective growth.

Conclusion

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

Reflection and Emotional Regulation

For the reflection and emotional regulation activity, advise students to write one or two paragraphs about the challenges they faced during the lesson and how they navigated their emotions. Alternatively, facilitate a group discussion where each student can share their experiences and feelings regarding their learning and practice. Encourage them to reflect on specific moments when they experienced intense emotions, like anxiety before a demonstration or pride after a successful technique execution, and how they managed those feelings.

Objective: The aim of this segment is to encourage students to self-reflect and assess their emotions, identifying effective strategies for coping in challenging situations. This reflection aids in developing greater emotional awareness and enhances their emotional regulation skills, applicable in martial arts as well as other areas of their lives.

Glimpse into the Future

To conclude the lesson, assist students in setting personal and academic goals linked to the content covered. Explain that their goals could include enhancing a specific technique, participating in martial arts events, or consistently practicing relaxation exercises to improve focus and self-control. Emphasize the importance of crafting clear and achievable goals and tracking their progress.

Penetapan Objective:

1. Practice basic martial arts techniques on a weekly basis.

2. Participate in at least one martial arts championship or event in the upcoming semester.

3. Apply the principles of discipline and self-control learned in martial arts to daily scenarios.

4. Enhance the capability to recognize and regulate emotions in varying contexts.

5. Encourage mutual respect and teamwork in group activities. Objective: The aim of this section is to bolster students' independence and practical application of their learning, motivating them to further develop both their academic and personal skillsets. By establishing and pursuing goals related to the lesson content, students not only solidify the knowledge gained but also encourage ongoing, balanced growth in both school and personal realms.
