the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

We had to give up a lot of plans for 2020 and 2021 because of covid, but still managed to organize some seminars and intensive courses, especially the summer courses in both 2020 and 2021.

Presently making schedules for 2022 intensive courses.

Training in China, with master Yao Chengguang is planned for August or September or... later, depending when traveling to China will be able without covid restrictions.

Due to the covid situation we were not able to make the winter course happen :-(
Instead there will be 3 days workshop in May:
27-29 May 2022 in Warsaw, Poland.
For anyone, including beginners in Yiquan. People who come for the first time will start from the basics of master Yao Chengguang's program. More advanced will focus on tui shou or tui shou plus wooden pole training, depending on their level.
Schedule:
Friday: 17:00-21:00
Saturday: 10:00-14:00 + going out for lunch together after classes.
Sunday: 10:00-14:00
Cost: this time only 130 PLN (below 25 Euro), not depending 1, 2 or 3 days.

Andrzej, now that China has done away with the quarantine restrictions for entering China, will you be planning a group trip to Beijing to study from M Yao anytime soon?

The problem is not in the quarantine restrictions, but in visa restrictions. Only a few special kinds of visas are being issued, no chance to get a tourist visa yet. The offices which were opened in most countries just before the Covid (outside the China consulates), and which were responsible for issuing normal visas are still closed. Maybe it will change later this year, but I doubt it. Even is it happens, there might be quarantine imposed here in Europe for people arriving from China.

I see, that's a shame. Hope the govt starts reissuing visas sooner rather than later!

Both winter course and summer course are decided:

Winter workshop - Warsaw, Poland, 17-19 February 2023

Summer course- Warsaw, Poland, 29 July - 6 August 2023
