On Saturday June 21, we will be mainly training Chinese Martial Arts at our own Bao Trieu Sportscentre. Between 16.00 and 17.00 there will be a short demonstration for the general public. NB. On the occasion of the "Go China !" exhibits, the demo will take place at the bridge in front of the Groninger Museum. Even if you aren't able to join us for the full training weekend, do try to be there!
On Sunday June 22, you can practise a large variety of different Martial Arts in Sports Complex BEA ('Beatrixoord'), Dilgtweg 5, Haren (5 km south of Groningen). Afterwards we can enjoy BEA's swimming pool, so do bring along your swimming suit!
Both days you will train under the professional guidance of world class guest teachers.
