Masters Workshop
8th July 2007by Tina Matania (3rd Duan)
The second of this year's Masters Workshops held in 2007 by Grandmaster M K Loke took place on Sunday 8th July at National Headquarters (HQ).
Master Siew Ying Loke: side thrust kick (cher chuai ti)The workshop, which lasted over two hours, was well attended, however sadly some Masters were stuck in traffic on a very busy M25 motorway and were unable to get to HQ ... must have been due to the 'Tour de France' taking place - if only they had cycled but it's such a long journey for some! We missed them and hope to see them again at the next workshop later on this year.
Grandmaster Loke went through all the luohan forms in detail, starting with luohan form four working backwards, then through the pinan forms and finally basic form four.
Slow kicking combinations were also covered, including ground sweeping kicks, stomp kicks and back and roundhouse kicks from the ground position. Slow kicking is a very effective way to develop good muscle strength and tone and to improve balance.
Thank you to Mrs Loke from all the 3rd Duans and Masters who attended for a superb meal afterwards which was much appreciated.
Tang Sou!
