August 2026 Newsletter

Despite the hot weather and the start of the school summer holidays, on Sunday the 19th July we got together for an xtra training session that would allow us to focus on and train basics for several hours. Stance training and correct posture was practiced at length for the session warm up. It was really enjoyable fielding questions and discussing points of view with reference to the range of applications contained with in the form routines.

The newer students gained a better feeling for the many ways forms may be emphasised for training i.e. flexibility, memory, muscle memory, cardio, strength and conditioning of the muscle groups to promote relaxation under physical stress, etc... The partner interaction that followed provided a deeper understanding of objectives, adaptation and sensing that will give a two dimensional form routine a three dimensional, more in depth, presentation. The visualisation of the moves and sequences within the forms contributes to their affectivity as a method of 'shadow boxing'.

All childrens classes will be running as usual throughout the Summer School Holidays so, unless you are on holiday, continue to support the children and classes...
