Harry Steele's presentation to his Cub lodge

SHENTIE

My hobby is mixed martial arts self defence called shentie. I have been going to classes for 2 years. I am now third grade blue belt.

Shentie is karate, kick boxing, kung fu,
I have a uniform and pads to protect myself.

What we learn in class is....

We learn to respect each other.

1 Before we start we do warm up stretches.
2 We learn lot's of technique and skills for legs and arms
3 We practice sparing with our pads on for safety
4 We learn the 6 steps of self defence.

1. Control your emotions, ( stay calm )
2. Communicate ( talk to one another )
3. Call for support. ( asking for help )
4. Use your legs. ( walk or run away safely)
5. Defend yourself. ( protect yourself)
6. Report immediately.( Tell your parents )



Grading is every 6 months. Sometimes if you are very good you can do a fast track like me.

The belts in order are
Yellow.
orange.
red.
green.
purple.
blue.
brown.
brown ( brown stripe )
brown ( double stripe )
junior black.

3 more belts until I am black belt.

Look at my certificates.

I really enjoy my hobby.
