A Change to Wednesdays!

2009-02-24T13:29:00.002Z

Last year we introduced monthly Sparring Squad training on the first Wednesday of every month and Patterns training on the second Wednesday of every month. From March 2009 this will no longer be the case!!!

Starting from Wednesday 4th March 2009 we will now be alternating every Wednesday between sparring and patterns….. that means more sparring and more patterns!!!
This change is due to the improved performance and progress from many of Chung Yong’s Fighters and more recently the general standard of patterns and traditional throughout the club.

- Sparring lessons will start at 6:30pm and end at 9pm (please bring your armour with you)
- Patterns lessons will continue to be split into two classes: Ages 6 to 12 – 6:30pm to 7:30pm & Ages 13 to Adult 7:30pm to 9pm.
(As always students training in the adult class are welcome along early to practice at the back of the hall.)

Please keep these lessons well attended as we believe that we can continue to raise the already high standard of Chung Yong students and we have high hopes for many of you in the future.

Also, please feel free to leave a comment on this change as we are keen to get your feedback.

Below is a list of what training will be taking place on Wednesdays from March until November:
