May 2026 Newsletter

On Sunday the 26th April we (Nigel and Tracy) thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to 'blow the dust' off of our Nanquan form. We are both former British Wushu Team competitors in this category and relished the interest generated from a few new potential competitors. As expected much emphasis was placed on the basics within the form. The Wushu judging criteria needed to be fully explained to encourage the very difficult practice required to be successful in competition. Everyone tried almost without pause to reach the objectives placed on them by Nigel and Tracy. We managed to start the form with a section for the students to take away and work on until next time... Well done Daniel, Odysseas and Mark. Thank you CJ for your supporting the students and the day.
