Well, after the 2 week break for the holiday period we started back with training. It looks like Ann, Jonathan, Boris and Kim will be the dedicated regulars! Sadly, Boris is moving to Toronto on the 18th of January...we hope he can find a Xing Yi club near his work so he can keep learning.
We will be continuing to learn and practice the 4 fanzi basic punches, the 18 chuo jiao basic kicks and the 1st chuo jiao set, as well as the other training. We have also started to introduce some of the partner practices for the kicks.
On the weapons side, Kim advises that she is working on the broadsword and the staff set with Rachel. Interestingly, although not part of the chuo jiao system that I am aware of, Jonathan has expressed real interest in learning the 3 section staff/sanjiegun so we will be starting that training as soon as he actually manages to get one.
We train together every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Beth Israel gym from 7:15 until 8:30-9:00ish.
