Can you let time stand still and practice 'horse stance' or 'mabu' for a few minutes a day. Enjoying the gentle burn of the muscles as they work hard.

Mabu is used for endurance training as well as strengthening the back and leg muscles, tendon strength, and overall feeling and understanding of "feeling grounded". It is a wide, stable stance with a low center of gravity.

If you have been to one of Hernan's classes, you will be familiar with this stance.

We may not all feel as strong as this! but with training and perseverance, it's amazing what can be achieved.

Bei Shaolin (6pm Tuesday) is pretty much full for the term, however there are still spaces for Kick Boxing (7.15pm Tuesday's)

Kick boxing (6pm Thursday's) still has space for those keen to learn broad skills and get fit. Great class for self defense too.
