October 2008
Master Wang Fu Lai and Master Huang Shu Chun again made a trip to our home from Taiwan. 8 days of intense personal training with one on one with the masters in Hsing-I and Ba Gau forms. The form Hsing-I Sword 2 is a beautiful, graceful yet dyamic form with lots of jumps, twists and turns. Not for the faint hearted as it is quite aerobic and requires great leg strength. It is fairly taxing on the knees, but after the first few days, one gets used to the pain and the discomfort disappears. These forms are all taught to our students that attend our studio in Wattle Glen and are suitable to strong, fit and agile participants.
SEPTEMBER 2008 "THE DYNAMIC DUO"
The magnificent 7 medals won between Neil and I have given inspiration and motivation to continue with our practice and to build our school and students here in Australia.The medals were 1 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze.Events entered were Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Weapons and Ba Gau. We feel confident that we gave our best to the competition. Competing against five other countries and over 200 athletes, many of which are highly skilled martial artists with over 20 years experience. This has given us the tools to improve and further advance our skills which we will in turn pass onto our students at our Wattle Glen school.
More later on this in our September Newsletter when published.
