Our first classes in Forres kicked off this week. We also have a blog article on the “Ecology of the Dancing Chinese Lion,” from one of our Inverness students. We have updates to our classes for the week ahead and an exciting announcement about regular Qigong classes beginning soon.
Forres Classes
Our first classes in Forres began this week. It is great to see an interest in traditional Chinese martial arts here. We appreciate everyone who has shared our posts and helped us advertise these classes. The hard work is just beginning though. Please keep helping us to spread the word so more people can find out about us.
If you are interested in joining us in Forres, just come along to one of our classes. Both our current Forres classes are on every Friday evening in the swimming pool gymnasium. We have one at 7pm for 6-12yr olds. They are open to both girls, boys and any parents who want to join in. They are only £4 for an hour.
Our adult class is at 8pm and only costs £5. It is open to anyone, men and women aged over 12 years, who are willing to give it a go. You dont need to be mega fit to do these classes. They are designed for anyone to follow along to. You practice at your own rate and get fit as you practice. The more you practice, the better you get!
If you are interested in coming along but a little anxious about attending your first class, don’t worry. You can give us a phone or email and we can set your mind at ease before you attend. For pointers on what to expect, check out our page, “How Do I Join”

Classes
Highland School of Qigong
We are happy to announce that we will be reinstating our public Qigong classes at our Inverness branch. These will begin on the 5th of March at 6.15pm until 7pm. Each class is priced at £5 or £30 for a loyalty card which will give you a 7th class for free. There will also be updates to the curriculum we previously taught in these classes. The Qigong classes will take place instead of the Hung Ga kids class for ages 8-13. The older kids class will now be incorporated into our kids class on Monday evenings.
Hung Ga, Inverness
As mentioned above, our kids class for 8-13 yr olds will now be incorporated into our Monday kids class, to allow room in the schedule for our refreshed Qigong classes. This will take place immediately, however the Qigong classes will commence on the 5th of March.
Our Monday kids class at 6.15-7pm will now be for 6-12yr olds. Anyone interested in attending, within that age bracket, is welcome to join us. Anyone outside that age bracket, who would like to join, is welcome to attend our Tuesday evening class at 7pm.
1-1 Private Tuition
We have full availability for 1-1 training sessions on Monday and Tuesday this week. There is also some availability in the evenings after the public classes. These are ideal if you wish to improve, at a faster rate, on what you have already learned in class. If you wish to learn out with the public classes then these are also your best choice.
They are simple to arrange and pay for. All you need to do is complete the form below with your required dates and times. You will then be taken to the PayPal site where you can securely pay for your chosen class, even if you dont have a PayPal account.
