The dust has settled after our Spring Festival/birthday celebrations in Inverness last weekend. We really had a blast but now back to our regular training routine. Our sale has ended but there are still a few bargains in our store. There are updates to our classes for this week and we also have a new branch opening in Forres this week.
Inverness Chinese New Year Celebrations
The Spring Festival, known as Chinese New Year, is a big event in China and many parts of Asia. It is gaining more and more popularity in western countries too. It comes at a time of year when a flash of colour and excitement is much needed to bring us all out of the gloom of Winter. Our celebrations in Inverness definitely did just that. Our troupe is forged from the bond of three separate Yee’s Hung Ga schools that are spread across the North East of Scotland. All three schools descended upon Inverness on the 25th of January to celebrate the Year of the Rat. Our lions performed displays across the city centre. We also performed around 50 traditional ‘Choi Chang’ blessings at retail and business premises. It was a very tiring day for all the students who took part but a hugely successful and enjoyable experience for everyone. You can find out more in our article:

We have already announced next years dates. You can find our Facebook event page for it here:
