The form is concise, with short range attacking and defensive postures, much can be attained from the practice of this form including further development of waist power and leg strength.
The workshop will take place on Sunday the 6th of June at the Walnuts Leisure Centre (details available online) from 12pm until 4pm (4 Hours) all levels are welcome.
Costs; £50 Adults
£30 Children
(Concessions available for fulltime students and over 65′s)
Traditional forms are a staple practice within the Shaolin curriculum, and not only enhance ones physical fitness and many other facets of external development, but also develop the mind further allowing the student to gain a more confident disciplined approach to lifestyle situations.
Peace, Love and Happiness…
