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!

We are starting a new page you will find under the blog heading in the side bar titled Q & A.  This page is to share thoughts ideas and information that come from questions that site visitors, students or family have about our school, association, style, history, teaching, or anything else that relates in some way to our System of Kung Fu or Martial Arts, and Health in general.  Not all questions and answers will be displayed on line, but we will try to post all that may be truly informative or thought provoking to others.  Thank you for your thoughts and questions.

Golden Leopard will be offering a morning and evening Yang Tai Chi classes.  The classes are designed to give participants a basic overview of Tai Chi principles and practice.  The classes will cover a short 8 posture Tai Chi form and Chi Kung exercises.  There is no prior experience needed.

Join us and learn a practical set of exercises to put to immediate use in helping the practitioner reap the benefits both physically and mentally from this ancient Chinese practice.

Contact us or watch for upcoming posts with more details.

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.

It looks like after September 2nd we will be able to begin work on preparing the space for the new school.  I will post when we will be there working on the space and what will be done.  Come help create your new Kung Fu training hall!

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!
