🙌🏽 PROPER HANDWASHING 👏🏽

Hello Sidekicks Families!

Using the proper handwashing technique is always important, and now it is critical for keeping yourself and other people healthy and safe! When Grandmaster Orange was in the United States Navy, back in the (1970’s and 1980’s) he learned and practiced this technique.

Did you know that GMO worked in an Operating Room? That’s right! He sure did. For people working in hospitals and healthcare, this method of handwashing is second nature to them. Grandmaster Orange still washes his hands like this, every time he comes home from teaching at Sidekicks Martial Arts Academy.

Check out this video and learn about the proper handwashing technique. Pretend you are washing your hands as you follow the steps and practice washing your hands along with the video.

Then answer the following questions about handwashing.

How many steps are there to properly wash your hands?

In which step do you wash your thumbs?
