No Class on March 19th and 22nd

March 16th, 2012

Due to the room being used for exams, there will be no class at SOAS on Monday 19th or Thursday 22nd. Classes will resume as normal on Monday 26th (combat conditioning – bring your kit, and be prepared to sweat!). Also, please bear in mind that Thursday 29th is sparring day, so you may want to get some training in on your own time over the next week!

Sparring day on Thursday Jan 26th

January 23rd, 2012

A quick heads up to remind all students that Thursday January 26th is our monthly sparring day. Please bring groin protectors (men), chest protectors (women) and gumshields. Gloves (14-16oz) and other equipment can be provided, though we recommend that you bring your own. If you're using class equipment, we also recommend bringing some babywipes/nearest equivalent. Sharing other people's sweat is a bit minging…

THE FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS
"The spirit of the Southern Philippines epitomises the unconquerable spirit of the Philippine Islands. Men of all creeds and colours have scrambled for a foothold in the Southern Philippines. Their bones still lie there, and only the spirit of these intrepid men remains. The Spaniards had not envisioned and could not perceive the courage they were to meet from the defenders of the land."
