Classes resumed yesterday on 9th April and continue unbroken until 30th July, recommencing after the summer break on 3rd September.
Classes run from 7-9pm for beginners and intermediate students. At 9pm we have a short break for jasmine tea then practise partnerwork followed by sabre form. All students of whatever level are welcome to stay for the partnerwork part to gain experience of double pushing hands, talu, wapu, knocking, san shou, etc. Class ends at 10pm. I will not be starting a beginners group again until autumn at the earliest. Those keen to start may come along and join in any time with the beginners who started earlier this year and can book a 121 with me to 'catch up' if they feel they need to. Much more important than anything else are willingness to engage with the work and an open attitude.
Due to the annual Hackney Schools Music Festival, the hall will not be available on two evenings this summer, so we have booked the hall next door, to the left of the Round Chapel, belonging to the church. The church charge far more for their halls, so we only have it from 7-9pm on 2nd July and 9th July. We will do without a tea break and have sabre practice from 8.35pm running concurrently with anyone who wants to stay on and do partnerwork (there will be room!).
David Knight, my fellow student of Mark Raudva, will kindly be taking the class on these 3 dates: 4th June, 16th July, 30th July.
