News and updates 6th Oct

This week we recieved shipment of our brand new student uniform shirts. They are made from a durable, yet breathable, cotton twill. There’s extra room under the arms to enable dynamic movement. We’ve designed the buttons on the front to be an interlocked loop system, which is the same as the black Sifu shirts. The shirts also have double frog button fastenings on the cuffs. These look great and give you a secure fitted feel around the wrist. They are available for students who have the trousers, sash and t-shirt already and can be purchased in the school, from Sifu, or in the Fu-Kit section of our website under ‘uniforms.’

We released our latest article this week too. The main focus of it is the Sun-Toi (or ancestral altar) which is a dominant feature within the training area of the school. If you haven’t read it already, it is highly recommended if you are interested in traditional martial arts. It is a rare insight into some of the traditions that are practiced. Some of these traditions have been observed over many generations and passed down from Sifu to student. We also have another article which will shortly be released. This is centred around qigong exercises to boost your immune system for the Autumn season. Be sure to sign up for our email alerts below to make sure that you don’t miss it.

Our kids classes on Mondays and Thursdays kicked off this past week. We had an interesting visitor to our Monday class. This little fella turned up to try out for our 6.15pm 5-8 year old class. We only took the one photo, which isn’t that great, but if anyone recognizes him/her they’re now being safely looked after by the SSPCA. If you would like your child to learn some essential life skills and gain confidence, all whilst having a lot of fun, bring them along to our Monday or Thursday kids classes. They both start at 6.15-7pm. Mondays is for kids aged between 5 and 8 and Thursdays is for between ages 8 and 13.

Extra Qi-Gong Classes Added To Timetable

The qi-gong classes at the Inverness branch of Yee’s Hung Ga Kung Fu Academy are proving to be very popular. New classes have been added to give students more flexability. There are now classes on Sunday 2-3pm, Tuesday mornings 10.30-11.30am and also Tuesdays & Thursdays 6.30-7.30pm.

Qi-Gong (pronounced Chee Gung) are gentle relaxing exercises, designed to bring energy into the body and calm the mind. Typically a qi-gong class involves rhythmic breathing, coordinated with slow movements or static postures and a calm mindful state. Qi-gong is a great form of gentle exercise and can be practised by everyone, young and old. It is great for improving health as well as concentration levels and focus.

In this class you will also learn the Ba Duan Jin (8 Pieces Of Brocade) Qi-Gong set. This set has been handed down for centuries. It has been attributed to legendary Chinese General Yue Fei who taught the exercise to his men to help keep their bodies strong and well-prepared for battle. The set consists of 8 sections. Each section contains a specific qi-gong exercise which can be practiced repeatedly for certain health benefits, or as part of the qi-gong set.

To find out more or to enquire about classes, email or phone Sifu Hepple.
