London Class Started for 2009

The London beginner's class has started for 2009. We're meeting on Saturday mornings 11am-1pm in Walpole Park, Ealing (outdoors, so dress appropriately!) . Future venues may change according to the needs of the class, but Ealing seems a good starting point. Training staffs are provided if you don't have your own. Cost is £5 a session. More details here.

We will be looking at:

• Sequences of blows for attack and defence, and their application
• The principles of posture, balance and using / controlling energy
• Developing physical strength and mental awareness
• Moving meditation
• Working creatively with the instincts of the six animals of the quarterstaff
• The cultural roots of the quarterstaff
