Place: in the lower rotunda down the colonnade in the Valley Gardens, Harrogate

This class is held outdoors in the lovely surrounding of the Valley Gardens. We are under cover so can train all year round – we just add layers of clothing in the winter.

What you can expect from the Thursday class:

•  It is friendly, fun and informative.
• You will have to work hard but you will find it rewarding
• You will be treated as an individual and help and advice will be given at an appropriate level (my classes are mixed-ability/level of experience)
• Most of the time is spent on the basics to help improve posture, balance, leg strength, co-ordination and awareness but we also look at martial applications too.
• During a class we will do a warm up followed by some qigong exercises before practising/learning the Cheng Man-ch’ing Form. This involves practising parts of the form and then the whole form together with a specific focus. We also do a lot of pair work and sometimes some weapon training.
• After class we retire to the café for coffee and a chat (optional)

Price £5 (You only need to pay if you come.)
