Golden Leopard Kung Fu

Our fall introductory Kung Fu session has just finished in our new space on 38th and Grand.  These classes will be on break until January.  All other classes will be running as usual.  New Introductory / Beginner class will start the second week of January.  These classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday at 4:15 and 5:00.  There will also be kids intro classes continuing on Wednesdays at 3:00.

Registration is now open for classes so call or e-mail with questions or to reserve your space.

It’s been a long road, but our new location is now open near the corner of 38th St and Grand Ave. South in Minneapolis.  Still a little work to be done but all classes are now running.  (Introductory, kids, youth and adults)

Stop in or contact us to try a class and see what Golden Leopard Martial Arts has to offer.

Thanks to Annie from Yelp for inviting Golden Leopard to perform a Kung Fu demonstration at a new restaurant in St Loius Park for their elite gathering.  Wonderful time was had by all who attended.  Jin and Rong (the owners) have a little gem of a place in Little Szechuan.  Demo began with a brief Lion Dance form Golden Leopards Kids and was finished with some hand weapon, and 2 person sets.  Everyone was great.  From the attendees to the staff.  Thanks again for having us and check out the link to Yelp for more photos and postings on the event.

Check out the updated class schedule page.  It includes Kids Introductory Classes for summer which are filling fast, but there are still have a few spaces open.  Also includes an added Beginner Kids Kung Fu class as well as slight changes to class times for youth and adult.

Please contact us with any questions regarding classes or the new schedule.

Our second year participating in this wonderful event.  Two days filled with a tremendous amount of Chinese Culture and activities.  A big thank you to Chinese Heritage Foundation for putting on such a wonderful event.  I would also like to thank all those from Golden Leopard that supported both the school and the event.  Taking time from your weekend to share your Kung Fu and give a wonderful show of what Golden Leopard Martial Arts Center is about.

Golden Leopard would like to share a little of what we do and will be offering free trial Tai Chi classes in October.  Classes will introduce participants to basics of Yang Style Tai Chi and Chi Kung exercises.  Those interested can contact us ahead of time or just drop in.  If you chose to try a class just wear or bring a set of comfortable clothes and flat bottomed shoes, nothing else is required.

Free classes will be held Thursday evenings at 7:15.  (October 14th, 21st, and 28th)

There is absolutely no obligation and those interested can chose any evening or attend all 3 if you like.

Hope to see you there!

As technology pushes at us in every aspect of our lives from the Healthcare we receive to the toys we buy our children.  But as this is happening we continue to find “low tech” things that have proven themselves over time and continue to amaze people.  Tai Chi just happens to be one of those “things” dating back over 1,500 years.

An article on CNN was recently passed along to me and I would like to share the link.  This specific article discusses a study that was done to see what if any effects the practice of Tai Chi (Yang style in this specific study) would have on persons suffering from Fibromyalgia.  Below is a link to this article.  I have also included a link to a site that gives information on the possible benefits of practicing Tai Chi and Chi Kung.  I hope you find them as thought provoking as I do.
