ATTENTION- Kung Fu Field Trip!

This event will include Fu Chen practice with Sifu Melissa Coyner and an introduction to Kung Fu San Su with Sifu Jason Schmit.

I am also especially excited to announce that Sifu Richard Bar will visit from Paso Robles for lunch and conversation with us (and stay for advanced work with Sifus Melissa and Jason.) Richard Bar was an apprentice of Grand Master Ark Wong, who brought the Five Family/Five Animal style to this country and was the first to open Kung Fu to Americans. Richard is a really great guy with an especially possitive approach to the practice, so I feel really fortunate that he will be there.

Timing:

9:30 to 10:00- Meet at the Pescadrome and review forms.

10:00- Car pool to the Santa Ynez Cultural Center

11:00 to 1:00- KUNG FU

1:00 to ~ 2:30- We take our hosts to Lunch

After that things open up

A Rough Plan:

Salutation and Short Form with Sifu
Do a bunch of partnered basics with the hand held bags
Fundamental parries, blocks and evasive techniques
Creative sparing-like-exercises
Introduce the Yachi Kun set

San Su fundamentals
ANY interesting stuff that comes up or that you'd like to bring up...

Please Bring:

Comfortable clothes for hot weather

$5 for the workshop + money for Lunch (which includes splitting up Jason and Melissa's meal amongst us) + Gas money.

Please respond to this (in or out) so I know what our head count is for the carpool.

$%#* Yeah!

Love,

Ethan
