Finally! This coming week we will start training again outdoors in the city park. We have been struggle online only, so far through this pandemic, but now we can get back outdoors and offer safe practice in our Kung fu classes again.
This pandemic have taught me that things will never go back to what it was before. Old students that have moved away to other places took up their training again when we offered online classes. I will try to keep them in my school by offering the regular classes over Zoom. I will have to alter the program a bit, bit nothing dramatic.
In our regular 2 hour classes that I will combine with Zoom, the program will look like this:
1. Chi Gung (Breathing exercise plus and our traditional 7 position Chi Gung)
2. Lin Gung (Legwork, three bridges, tiger claw exercise and conditioning)
3. Lin Faht (Basic general technic training and drills)
4. Hung Faht (Style typical technic training, combos and drills)
5. Jin Luk (Combat skill training)
6. Lin Kuen and Lin Mo Hai (Forms and weapons)
(Lei Tai/San Da and other pair drills will not be practiced under the pandemic for safety reasons)
For on-line students, the forms and weapons cant be taught in real time over Zoom in regular class. It’s expected to combine this with private lessons or correspondence training with pre-recorded video lessons and using this way as a communication between the student and teacher.
So if anyone is interested to participate in our regular classes, I offer them for free over the summer (correspondence program not included), and from the fall we will offer these classes for a special price, so on-line students can afford to combine it with my correspondence program.
Hopefully this will be the turning point for us all.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Roger Engmalm, Sifu
