September 2026 Newsletter

We had an overdue, thoroughly enjoyable training visit to Andy Cole at KIXX Glos, Stroud this weekend.

A particularly poignant session for us because we felt that it honoured our Grandmaster Hans birthday on the 29th August even though he is no longer with us...

The main theme for this informal gathering was to convey the basics of our Nan Shaolin Wuzuquan – Han JIn Yuan and discuss the merits as applications with people who are competent in other styles.

Mant thanks to Cole, Ruth, Eowyn, Sean, Liam and Dan for their hospitality and a great training weekend.
