Kung-Fu-a-thon!!!
Each of our members will perform Kung Fu techniques, train with weapons, perform self defence techniques, fight with each other (etc, etc) for 2 hours and 9 mins (this was the winning time in the 2007 Dublin City Marathon!) This will be
scaled down depending on age and ability!
We hope you can help us raise some funds for new club equipment and also in aid of YMAA's non-profit retreat centre! Click here for more info about the centre.
23rd and 24th of February 2008
Dr. Yang's daughter will return to Dublin for her 3rd visit. She will continue to teach us the Sword techniques for which she is famed for, having trained with her father since a very early age.
Kathy will teach the San Cai Jian sequence, a Nortern Shaolin sword form which is the only Sword form which can be trained as solo and with a partner as the form matches itself, allowing the practitioner to delve deeper in to the "King of short weapons".
This weekend seminar will be suitable for all Martial artists and for all levels.
More information will follow shortly.
Dr Yang has put his travels on hold for a couple of years to put his energies into his YMAA Retreat Center! We have invited YMAA Instructors Robert Was (President of Eastern Europe) and Pedro Rodrigues (President of Western Europe) to come to Ireland to out us through our paces. These two men are top class Kung Fu and Taiji instructors and both are part of an elite group of only 5 people to complete the full Shaolin program in the history of the YMAA International.
They will come to Ireland either at the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. Please check back soon for information about this weekend.
Having had a great time in Costa De Caparica in Portugal last summer, we intend to travel to one of these camps for some more hard training and great craic. I hope you can join us. Information will be provided at a later date
