Golden Leopard Kung Fu

A great time was had by all who attended our long over due Choy Li Fut training weekend in Fargo with Sifu Neil McRitchie and other members of our Kung Fu family from Winnipeg.  There was a tremendous amount of sharing that occurred.  Spear, sword, and pole sets, not to mention all sorts of application, knife defense and more.  We encountered a little rain but not enough to dampen our spirits or stop the kung fu.

I would like to thank all those that attended for their time and kung fu.  This was not only a time to share kung fu but to share ourselves and reconnect with our extended Kung Fu family.

There are all ready thoughts of a bigger and better “training camp” next year.  Hope to see all the familiar faces plus many more.

Another Dragon Boat Festival behind us.  The day started out rather hot and humid.  The sun showing down.  Then about 15 minutes into our demonstration massive down pour.  We only got to show about half of our material, but we ended with a very nice Choy Li Fut set, be it a little soggy performed by Noah Johnson.  after many of us being soaked we decided to stay and play a little in the wet, and some cases the mud.  Over all I think a good time was had by most if not all.

I would like to thank all those who put in the time to train and came out to support Golden Leopard Kung Fu School.  Everyone did a wonderful job!

Golden Leopard Martial Arts Center and Minneapolis Plum Blossom will be meeting up with Sifu Neil McRitchie from Winnipeg for a weekend of fun and Kung Fu Training in Fargo, ND.  For those a little more adventurous some attending will be camping, but for those wanting more comforts of home there will be hotel rooms reserved.  It’s been a while since this event has been open to all students, so take advantage of this opportunity to meet and train with our Kung Fu brothers and sisters.

Training will taking place on Friday July 23rd and Saturday July 24th.  Both nights weather permitting we will socialize over dinner, fire, and maybe some s’mores for dessert at the camp sites.

Anyone interested please respond ASAP (call or e-mail) so campsite or Hotel rooms can be reserved.  We can then also make arrangements for those that would like to share a ride.

Hope you can come and join in the kung fu and comradeship.

Another Dragon Boat Festival is upon us.  Come join Golden leopard and all the other performers at Lake Phalen this weekend.  Golden Leopard will be doing a Kung Fu demonstration at 3:30 on Sunday July 11th.  We will have members of our Kids, Youth, and Adult classes showing what they have been working.  Hope to see you there.

We are going to start a quote page on the site.  Check the side bar for Quote of the Week.  We hope the quotes will be something thought provoking, or inspiring.  It can pertain to the martial arts directly or be something that carries into ones life in general.  Enjoy, give feed back and e-mail a quote you would like to share.  Just make sure to include where the quote is from if known.

The new space is not exactly complete but it is ready for training to begin.  With any luck by the end of October most of the final touches will be complete.  Grandmaster had give me recommendations for training hall colors and the such.  I would like to thank those who have give of their free time to help with the mess and grunt work portion of the build out.  With out the help we would probably still be a week or two away from getting into the new space.
