Quebec City

Quebec City

Training is every weekday 5:45 to 6:45, though I am usually there by 5:00. Format is usually 40 minutes circle walking on your own, then directed training with some coaching. The more formal teaching class is Wednesdays 6:00 to 6:45. Coached training is every weekday 6:10-6:30. Always try to come early enough to get in some circle-walking before the coaching or teaching. Coached training alternates between changes, the 88 routine, individual techniques, partner training, applications, and body toughening. Extra teaching is given in seminars, trying for the first Sunday of the month.

2010 class schedule: June 15 to July 12th, August 3 to 17th. Cost is $10 per week when I am there.

Classes are given in French, but since teaching is individual, could be in English or Chinese, no problem.

Location: Cataraqui park, chemin St. Louis (Sillery), just west of Maguire. Parking is at centre Michel Sarrazin's top parking lot, the driveway just east of the Cataraqui entrance (no cars allowed in the park). Then walk through the Cataraqui buildings to find the old skating rink. When it is really dark we are in the parking area between the buildings, where there is a street light. If it is pouring rain or the snow hasn't been ploughed, we might be on the veranda of the main building. 

2010 summer training is in Bois du Coulonge, due to construction at Cataraqui.
