Our last class of 2022 has been held and we have drawn the final curtain on this year.
It has been a strange one, recovering from the legacy of covid and trying to maintain the momentum of various projects we have started, as well as continuing learning, developing and practising. We have had some very memorable moments, starting with our Chinese New Year Celebrations returning to Inverness after an absence due to covid. We also returned to the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and the Tartan Heart Takeover at Eden Court.
Thanks to the continued efforts of Si-dai Gung – Frank Yee – we have been able to continue our learning experience online. Schools from all over the world have been able to learn directly from the man himself via the magic of modern technology. We have also had the opportunity to continue with grading tests online too. This has enabled all students to move forward and continue to progress when they’re ready.
We have also had the honour of Si-dai Gung visiting Scotland and learning and testing with him “in person.” In October he was able to travel to Peterhead and Edinburgh to conduct tests, seminars and Bai Si ceremonies. You can read more about his visit in our post – Great Grandmaster Frank Yee Visits Scotland
