Pump up the Power
The Guardian Challenge 2015 - Week Commencing 29th June 2015
PUMP UP THE POWER
Every year the Lau Gar Guardians set a challenge for students to test their skills and determination.
This year’s challenge, set by Pete Hornby, is to complete a series of 8 routines that make up a total of 5000 Kung Fu techniques. Test out if you can achieve the 5000 within 90 minutes. All techniques are taken from the Lau Gar syllabus or the summer course.
Completion of the challenge will enhance your power when performing Kung Fu.
Taking part in the challenge will not only benefit your Kung Fu, you will also be raising money for charity by getting sponsorship.
All money raised will go to the Lau Gar Trust charity, which works to promote and improve the learning of Lau Gar.
Here is a video explaining the challenge:
