说说我个人的一点经历 并不存在喜不喜欢的问题 羽毛球是个趣味性和对抗性极强的运动（在奥运项目里面单位时间的体能消耗仅次于拳击）不喜欢往往是因为没有启蒙没有入门 一旦入门就相当于打开了魔盒 你走在路上 上个洗手间看到镜子 看到一块平地 甚至躺在床上 都会忍不住去练习动作或练习步法 这个运动就是具备这样的魔力 但是非常可惜 很多人都不知道 更别说体会到以技术动作去打击和欺骗对手的乐趣 以战术手段去寻找对手的弱点、放大自己的优势的历练...

我的教学 不仅仅是技术性教学 会有很多的鼓励和称赞（因为教学的时候往往十次击球可能只有一两次是合格的 那么这一两次成功与合格的击球 我会大声为孩子叫好 并让他们努力记住这种最好的感觉）让孩子们在比较有技术难度的学习中寻找自信 寻找灵感 寻找自觉 寻找提升...

来吧，不要犹豫，不要想着浅尝辄止，前方有一座宝库，在等待你的孩子去发掘，欢迎加入！

Class Introduction

Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu offers a comprehensive system of traditional martial practices intended to cultivate the defense skills, health, character and spiritual development of its students. As when studying any discipline based art such as a musical instrument, painting, another sport and so on, students must first learn the basic techniques. For example, a student of violin must learn how to finger the strings and use the bow before learning how to play a complete song.

New students of Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu will first be taught how to execute basic techniques, the most important of which are stances such as Zuò Mă (坐馬), Qián Mă (前馬), and others. In addition, these students will be taught how to properly execute punching, kicking, blocking and more in isolation as well as in combinations. Later in the semester, students will put these techniques together in longer sequences or combinations.

Returning students - those who have already participated in the Bohua Kung Fu class and have been shown the basic methods - will continue to build upon what they have been taught in past semesters and be instructed in not only more complex sequences but paired exercises. Learning paired exercises helps members develop a deeper understanding of the “martial intention” of each technique.

Most importantly, we hope to help our students develop what we refer to as “martial spirit” – the spirit of confidence without arrogance, a spirit which they can apply to every other aspect of their lives. We can only achieve these goals with your help. As in any study of any kind, developing new skills requires practice. We will only see the students for about 55 minutes once per week for a few weeks before a break… and then for another few weeks before yet another break and so on. With your help, encouraging more consistent practice, we will have a much greater chance of achieving our goals.

The Bohua Kung Fu class is open to all willing students from age 8 and up and including middle and high schoolers as well as adults/parents. For additional information concerning Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu, please see www.shaolinhungmei.org.

Class Introduction

葫芦丝是一种中国民族乐器，简单易学，携带方便，可以随时随地进行练习和演奏。在课程教学中，学生会学习基本的识谱和演奏技巧，老师会以分组和个人指导的课堂设置，让孩子们在轻松愉快的教学方式中演奏简单，旋律优美的曲目并不断提高。希望这门课能让您发掘出孩子的音乐才能并激发孩子们学习音乐的内在动力，从而达到自主学习与练习的目的。无论您的孩子有无音乐学习背景，我们都希望他们能在这门课的学习过程中体会到中国民乐的魅力，从而真正爱上音乐。因为只有内心的热爱，才能使音乐学习变得美妙而长久。葫芦丝老少皆宜，任何学龄段都可以学习。并且做为木管乐器(WOODWIND)的一种，葫芦丝的学习将为您的孩子今后进入中学管乐队打下一个演奏吹奏乐的基础。

鲁凡石 (Jimmy)是FAIRVIEW中学高二学生,有十几年的乐器学习和演奏经验，初中三年一直是学校管乐队和爵士乐队（BAND, JAZZ BAND)的主吹手并在爵士乐队的毕业汇演中担任最后曲目的唯一独奏(SOLO).高中阶段将继续在校军乐队（MARCHING BAND)进行为期四年的学习和演奏。长城中文学校管弦乐器演奏家冯咪咪老师是Jimmy的推荐人，茉莉花舞蹈学院的韩莉莉老师也推荐他和她们团队一起参加演出。
