I know that some of you are interested in doing taekwondo to compliment your wing chun so I thought id give you info on times and stuff:
TKD runs on Wednesdays and Fridays at:
18:00 to 19:15
and
19:15 to 20:30
There are also fight sessions running on Weds at 20:30.
Its held in County South Lecture Theatre (except for weeks 2 and 10).

its £1.50 per session, every session has our 5th dan instructor taking it. first session is free, so its worth a go to see if you like it!
there is a big mix of experience; there are lots of beginners including several of the wing chun guys who have just taken it up this term, so you wont be the only beginner there.

ah right, i just assumed when you said it was at 6 till 7:15 and 7:15 till 8:30 that the later lesson was for more advanced students or something like that but that may have just been me jumping to the entirely wrong conclusions... btw sorry about this, i seem to have asked u about a gazillion (often silly) questions about taekwondo! sorry! i'll just keep it shtumed now |

that was pretty kewl yesterday ;D i didn't realise how similar taekwondo is to karate! Quite a few of the basic moves were the same which is probably a good job or i would've been completely lost Hee hee, i really wanna learn some kicks now! i didn't get a chance to do any spinny kicks yesterday cos no one would show me how |

just ask and il show you!
we did lots of kicks in the 2nd lesson actually, you shoulda stayed.
There was even a lil competition on how high you could do a jump spinning crescent kick!
Getting to do some sparring is always fun too.
