Dear All,
We have one of two final workshops for 2011,
Gong Fu Foundations
五 步 拳 & 连 环 拳
Wu Bu Quan & Lian Huan Quan
Foundations are the threads which hold beginner and advanced skill levels together without the basics we cannot move forwards and achieve higher levels and reach the goals in which our teachers set for us. For these reasons we are presenting students with an in depth learning and study of two fundamental forms, these forms although simple and short compared to other traditional Gong Fu forms are an important step in developing key foundations which are: balance, flexibility, control (body, mind and breath), co-ordination, speed, power, endurance, discipline and importantly self confidence are developed through practice.
Throughout the workshop applications and meanings of the techniques shall be taught, this workshop is open to all from all walks of life to attain an understanding of martial culture and the many benefits that coincide in order to develop a healthier positive outlook on one’s self and the world around us.
