Golden Leopard Kung Fu

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!

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!

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.

Everyone mark your calendars for July 12th 1:15 pm.  Golden Leopard will be joining a number of other martial arts schools at the 2009 Dragon Boat Festival for a series of demonstrations in St. Paul at Lake Phalen.
