New Kung Fu & Nei Chuan Classes Opening Day
There will be a new Kung Fu class and a new Nei Chuan class opening in Colchester!
This is something which has been long in the making especially since the members numbers have been steadily rising. The master plan is to centralise my training in Colchester and thus bridge the gap between Ipswich and Witham classes giving both member districts another training opportunity within easy driving distance.
The new venue is no more than 20 minutes drive from Ipswich and 15 minutes from Witham.
The Grand Opening will be on Wednesday 6th June 2012 and will begin with the new Kung Fu class from 6:00pm till 7:30pm.
This class will be open to all age groups and will probably be a more application and sparring based class. (Prices will be as per other Adult/Family classes).
The second class will be the Nei Chuan Form class which was previously running in Ipswich at the same time of 7:30pm till 9:30pm.
This is an adults class and teaches the 3 Internal Arts of China: Tai Chi, Xingyi and Bagua.
We focus on forms, patterns, chi kung and push hands exercises.
On this opening day there will be a few demonstations and leaflets available for anyone wanting to come along and see what we do, there may also be the Colchester Gazette there to take a few pics!
So for all present members I would like you to try and make at least the opening day to support the club and help get things started.
The facillities at the venue are fantastic and I foresee this to be a very poitive move for Shui Tao Martial Arts and it's members.

Traditional Fitness School on Wednesday Nights
The above new classes will mean that Wednesday's TFS class can no longer run from the 6th June 2012.
But all is not lost!
My plan is to run a TFS Group Training Session on Thursday nights in the Whitton P.T Lounge or wherever might be appropriate! Training will be from 6:30pm till 7:30pm.
This will be open to a maximum of 5 people and charged at £12.00 pp if paying singularly or £10.00 if paying for blocks of 8 or more. Being a group training session the training will vary and be more focused on particular themes.
