2010 End-of-Year Training BBQ

To all our students, their families, and friends of the Qian Li Dao Academy, we want to thank you all for yet another fantastic year of training, friendship and cameraderie. As we wind down another year, and prepare for the coming new one, let’s get together for a last bit of training and some good ol’ fashioned socialising as we ready for the holidays.

Come join us for a Training BBQ at Newport Lakes Park, off Margaret Street in Newport (Mel map 55, G3) on Sunday, 19th December .We’re dependent on the weather for this one, so if we’re rained out we’ll have to look at having an alternate event in the new year. It’s BYO food and drink, as well as BYO enthusiasm as we’ll start around10am, get a couple of hours of good training in , and then we’ll throw it all on the barbie, set out the spread, sit back and relax to recap this past year at the Academy.

It certainly has been one of many changes, with exciting prospects for 2011. Bring your families, and any friends whom you feel might also enjoy the company and the activities. There’ll be plenty of training and plenty of friendship on the day, FREE of charge, so indulge before the holidays begin!  Make and bring your own favourite recipes for all to share… Trev’s planning on making his famous Mars Bar Slices; can you top that???

Look forward to seeing you all on the day. Click here for a Google Map if you need it to help you find us on the day; the car park is just off Margaret St, in Newport, off Mason St.

SEE YOU THERE!!! No uniforms, no formality – come casual and just enjoy the company and the day!

Chi Sao Seminar – Wellington NZ

Had a fantastic time visiting with my good friend and student, Stu Dunn, in Wellington at the end of November. We spent the weekend exploring chi sao concepts through partner drills and exercises that reinforced an understanding of the structures that make good chi sao work.

All who attended had a great time, even the ones who had never done Wing Chun before or were not (yet) a part of our Kapiti Coast group. The weekend went by too fast!

Plans are for the next visit to Wellington to be in possibly April or May 2011.  Am looking forward to returning again in the new year to work with our growing Kiwi branch, and its enthusiastic members.  Keep up the good work, Stu; you and all the gang in Wellington are progressing well!!!
