September 2023 Newsletter

Despite being in the middle of the holiday season, the Sanshou (Sanda) Competition Training Course was a great success!! All aspects of the training for the Sanshou event were covered including but not limited to; flexibility, strength, stamina, conditioning, technique, punching, kicking, takedowns, tactics, competition fight area and rules.

All those that attended are looking forward to practicing their skills in the next Fight Club Open Mat Session on Saturday the 23rd of September '23.

On Sunday the 8th October from 10am to 2pm, we shall be attempting to gather as many people as possible together to practice the Sanzhan form, Sanzhan set sparring routine, Sanzhan partner catching, pushing hands applications and self-defence / sparring applications. All of the above subjects are practiced for training purpose to enhance the skills required for more serious situations.

The more people we can get on the course, the more variety we are able to experience and improve from.

We are also keen for current and former students of Shizu Han to attend as they will enrich the variety by virtue of practicing with people from other locations. Lets bring and share the sum of all of our experiences to the course!!

This course is suitable for beginners.

Please book as soon as possible. For more info please contact Nigel or Tracy...
