Good news for students and people with a low budget for training equipment and nutritional supplements.
I am planning to open a referral program within the FM community,
and the member with the most referrals will get a present at the end
of the month.
Every month the referral program will be restarted,
and on the last day of the month, the winner will be announced.
Then he / she can choose between a few products and his / her choice will be sent soon after. ( all countries )
I will start with nutritional supplemens and later i will probaly give
away more expensive stuff... Trampolines, Knee Protections etc.
I am planning this for september, but at this time i can't promise that the idea will really be put into practice.
So if you are interested in the program, please check the blog from
time to time.
However...
If yes...
...
the winner of the first month can expect somthing like this...
Beijing 2008 August.08.2007
Today on the 8th of august, a big festival is beeing celebrated in
Beijing - China.
Why ???
In exactly one year, 365 days the next olympic games will start.
The date: 08.08.2008 is not just a funny coinsidence.
The "Eight" is also a chinese lucky number.
When you do an exercise in China, you will always count to 8 or multiples of eight, not to ten like in western countries.
For example 16 is counted: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 - 2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc. etc.
However...
The olympic games of china are the most expensive ones in the history
and china says that it will also be the biggest & best ones.
Obviously for China, because the chances that China will win the most gold medals are pretty high.
The opening ceremony will be huge.
And here is another reason why i am posting this in my blog:
Wushu is NOT an olympic event. China tried everything to get wushu in,
but they couldn't. In 2012 wushu might be an un-official sport and if
we are lucky, wushu will be accepted as an official olympic event in 2016.
The problem with the 2008 olympics was that a country is not allowed to
bring their own sport as a test sport in their own country.
So we will officially have to wait until 2012.
But because wushu is also chinese culture,
the olympic comittee
allowed to show the sport in the opening ceremony.
The wushu part of the olympic opening ceremony is currently beeing
prepared by "Mr XU", the stunt coach from the song jiang wushu institute ( 2000 to 2003 ) .
This is a great oportunity for him and a dream job for every wushu instructor.
In 2003 "XU" left my school and founded a stunt agency & school in Beijing. Since then he worked in the movie business.
I can't wait to see the open ceremony and wish china and Coach XU
good luck with the games.
Gymnastics Apparatus August.03.2007
If you check the gymnastics section today, you will notice that i started adding information about gymnatics apparatus for men and women.
I just added some general information about the vault and you can
expect much more in the next few weeks.
And to those who are only interested in martial arts:
Don't worry !
Of course i will keep working on the other sections just like i did before.
I will just invest a bit more time in the next few weeks.
New Month New Tutorials August.01.2007
As you know, due to a problem with my computer no new instructions were published since the 2nd week of July.
Everything works again and this month you can expect at least 50
new tutorials. The topics I will concetrate on are gymnastics and wushu,
but of course there will also be new tutorials for other martial arts styles.
Don't forget that you can request lessons in the FM forum.
In the last 3 forums: suggestions, announcements and email requests,
you can post as a guest, without sigining up.
