Got back from the retreat on Tuesday. I did a write up with pictures that can be found at this link:
In short, everyone (including myself) that attended had a great time, learned a lot, and it was a great opportunity to train authentic and rare Chinese martial arts outside in a truly amazing natural setting. The feeling one gets from training outside, in semi seclusion and in the fresh air is fantastic and hard to describe.
Aside from training there was plenty of time to fish, canoe, swim, bbq, and unwind by the fire.
Topics covered in the last camp included:
Pak Mei (White Eyebrow) Hand Controls
Shanghai Wu Style Tai Chi
Short Fist Boxing
Loong Ying (Dragon Claw) Pole
Iron Dummy Work
The August retreat for 2012 is full, last I heard he has two slots open in July for people that might be interested (I am sure he will have details later in the year on his website, ).
If you have ever wanted to learn about the methods and use of authentic Pak Mei or Short Fist, Wu style Tai Chi for combat as well as health, or Loong Ying weapons, Mr. Doucet is a great resource.
Hope to see some of you there next year.
