Sanda(sanshou)

Who says kung fu guys cant fight? Here's a clip of sanda or sanshou, loosly translated as free fight. Sanda is full contact with the goal being to knockout or throw you opponent. Sanda is one component of wushu(kung fu),allthough most traditional kung fu schools dont do sanda, at least from my experience. Eugene spent two years in Taiwan and is a certified sanda instructor.

Outdoor class

Hope everyone had fun training outside, I know I did. Found a good video from Erik Paulson about turning towards the hand to escape chokes. Erik is a former world champ in shooto and my buddy Randys coach.

Summer hours

Just a reminder to everyone that the gym is closing for summer holidays. The last class will be July 11th. The grappling/mma class will return Sept 1st. Because of the long weekend the sambo class will return on Sept 12th.
Keep this in mind if you are renewing your membership this month.

I will open up on Tues nights same time for anyone who wants to workout, roll or hit the bags etc.
