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.

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.

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!

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.
