Saturday January 30th Golden Leopard will be giving a Kung Fu demonstration in conjunction with Plum Blossom Kung Fu School downtown at the Metrodome for Twins Fest. The demonstrations will be from 11:30 – 12:00.  We will be in the Twins Diversity Area.  Hope to see you there!

With our move to the new space in October will come the new schedule for the Childrens Kung Fu classes.  For the three weeks of September we will keep the old schedule of Monday class from 4:15 – 5:00.  Starting October 5th we will begin the new schedule of Monday and Wednesday.  The start time may be shifted back to 4:30.  Final decision on times will be posted in the next couple weeks.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone back to train Kung Fu and have some fun after the late summer break!

Golden Leopards move to a new training hall in South Minneapolis is progressing.  A lease has been agreed on and the date for opening of the new location is October 1st, 2009.

The new location will be at 3920 Nicollet Ave So.  Just a few minutes from our current location.  The new location will give us better training space and the ability to expand our current class schedule.  There is a lot of work that will need to be accomplished before this date but we are very much looking forward to what this move will offer.  We will be working in the next couple weeks to get a new schedule and class list on the website.  We will also try to keep you updated on the progress.

We will be there again this year showing the neighborhood some Choy Li Fut.  Last year was a good time in both presenting our Kung Fu and enjoying some of the other festivities at  Bancroft Meadows Park, 42nd St. and Bloomington Ave So.  We will be holding demo / classes at the park on Wednesday July 29th.  Youth group will be on from 5;30 – 6:30 and the Adults from 6:30 – 8:00.

Other activities include:

*Free ice cream from Grand Old Creamery

*Afro – Caribbean Drumming

*Games and Activities for all and a parade (decorate your bike) at 6:30

*Paper Boats Puppet Show

*And More……

Come and join the neighborhood celebration and enjoy an evening in the park!

We hope to add more detailed information about our school and Choy Li Fut soon.  Also will have some pictures and hopefully some video as well.

Note to everyone participating in the demo.  First you must have uniforms and sashes for the demo.  If you are in need let me know ASAP.  If you don’t have it you can not participate.  Also I expect you will all be at class Monday and Wednesday evenings this next week.  There may also be extra days of training this week you are all encouraged to attend.  Remember you are not representing yourselves but the school and all your sihings and sijays.

Plans are to begin training outdoors on Wednesday nights starting in May. It’s wonderful to be out in the warm weather and is a great time to train weapons. We loose the restrictions of the school and are able to have everyone train and move more freely. I will keep you posted on the exact date we will be starting.

Anyone needing to purchase a Pole please let Sifu know as soon as possible.
