http://bkfa.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Creswick - Tai Chi/Kung Fu Class, Tuesday 8pm, 23/10/07. The Heel Kick we went through in class contains a lot of small pieces. Let's review them here. From the Single Whip at the end of Cloud Hands, the right hand goes back and the back leg straightens, making your hands appear to lift up. High Pat the Horse. Your right hand comes forward past your ear and brushes forward along your arm. We then executed a left heel kick in the opposite diagonal direction. High Pat the Horse.

Ballarat Kung Fu Academy: November 2007

http://bkfa.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 18, 2007. Another Special Bulletin. This time I wanted to give you all a heads up. On Friday I came down with Bell's Palsy, a temporary paralysis of one side of the face.

Most people recover by three weeks. Here is a link to more information: http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's Palsy. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. Raise ...

Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Chi Gong and Nei Gung. We use these exercises in our classes, but what are they? Chi/Qi - "Energy" or "Spirit". Chi Gong is "Energy Skill" and Nei Gung is "Internal Skill.". The difference is subtle and not obvious in translation.

We do the same set of Chi Gong exercises at the start of every class to help loosen, stretch and prepare the body....
