Sample Course Proposal 1

Aikido is a modern, non-violent and non-competitive Japanese martial art of self-defense. Besides being a means of work-
out and character development, Aikido also emphasises proper etiquette, self-discipline and a spirit of respect for fellow
human beings.

There will be a 15-minute warm-up at the beginning of each training session. After the warm-up, the Trainer will
demonstrate basic Aikido techniques and student will then partner each other to practise. After some basics, the Trainer
may split the class up into the different grades to train related techniques. Towards the end of the class, throw exercises are
done in groups for students to practise falling and experience a variety of training partners. Sometimes, free throw
exercises are also done to train student’s reaction when being attacked by one or even more attackers. At the end of the
class, a breathing extension exercise is usually done in a seating position with a partner.

All-white training jacket and pants with belt is the basic attire for Aikido. As beginners progress, they will change from white
belt to various coloured belts to indicate their grades.

Sample Course Proposal 2

Pilates is a method of exercise developed by German-born Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, which consists of various physical
movement programs designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. It is a low-impact exercise which focuses on
postural symmetry, breath control, abdominal strength, spine, pelvis and shoulder stabilization, muscular flexibility, joint
mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints.

A typical 1-hour mat work training session starts with fundamental movements like breathing and gentle spine exercises to
warm up the body. This is followed by 40 minutes of mat work movements and finally 5 to 10 minutes of relaxation (warm
down) to end the class. The trainer will demonstrate and explain each movement and move among the participants to
ensure proper technique and assist as necessary.

While practising Pilates, you will require:

(i) A folded towel, blanket or exercise mat of adequate thickness and density to place on the floor for protection of your
spine;
(ii) A long towel or stretchy rubber exercise band; and
(iii) A flat cushion or small folded towel to place under your head, if necessary.
