Curious about martial arts but don’t know where to start? Join us for an outdoor Taekwondo Forms session led by **Sophian Ben**, a French Taekwondo practitioner who teaches in English, Mandarin and basic Cantonese. This class focuses on forms (patterns) – coordinated sequences of movements that build strength, balance, focus and body awareness. No sparring, no pressure, just a friendly space to move, learn and have fun. Whether you are a complete beginner or you have some martial arts experience, you are welcome. The pace will be gentle and progressive, with attention to posture, breathing and mindful movement. Think of it as a moving meditation plus a light workout. **What we’ll do** ● Short warm‑up and joint mobilization ● Introduction to basic Taekwondo stances, blocks, kicks and hand techniques ● Learning and repeating simple forms (patterns) step by step ● Short cool‑down and stretch, with time for questions and sharing **Who is this for?** ● Beginners who want to try martial arts in a relaxed setting ● Yoga / fitness people curious about Taekwondo as mindful movement ● Anyone who enjoys learning new body skills and improving coordination No previous experience is required. Just come with an open mind and be ready to move. **About the instructor – Sophian Ben** Sophian is a French martial arts enthusiast with years of Taekwondo practice and teaching experience. He speaks French, Spanish, English and Mandarin, and can give simple cues in Cantonese, so international and local participants can all follow along. **Class fee** Free event – no payment required. ☆ This session is offered as a free community class so Sophian can share his movement practice and help grow the group. If you enjoy it, your support by showing up, inviting friends, or leaving a positive comment on Meetup is very welcome. **What to bring** ● Comfortable sportswear (no need for uniform) ● Trainers or barefoot on the grass ● Water bottle **Meeting point** We meet on the concrete platform by the waterfront in Tamar Park. Please check the photo/map on this event page for the exact spot. We’ll meet 10 minutes before the start time to warm up and find a good spot together.

Updates will be posted on the event page 2–3 hours before start time. **Memeber's Cancellation / RSVP** Out of respect for the host and other participants, please update your RSVP if you can’t attend.

This is an introductory session for people who are complete beginners or fairly new to kayaking. We will begin with learning the essential kayak parts and equipment. We will also learn and practice simple strokes, how to enter and exit the kayak and how to cope with a capsize or emergency. It will be a full and busy day and you will get wet! Please do not sign up unless you commit to being there. We can not run the training session when people drop out with short notice. Our 48 hour rule does apply. Please arrive with HKD 300 in cash as payment for the hire of equipment used in this training session. Please also bring the following - - Sturdy closed-toed shoes that can get wet that will be worn at all times throughout the training session (Crocs DO NOT qualify. Old sneakers/trainers are OK. NO flip flops). - A packed lunch - A refillable water bottle (there is clean, drinkable tap water at the kayak base). We strongly discourage the use of packaged water in disposable bottles (I.e. Bonaqua, Evian, etc) - Swimwear, hat, sunglasses and sun protection (long sleeve rash guard or UV resistant shirt highly recommended). - Optional: change of clothes & towel for post-session shower. Following training and practice sessions of all of the above, a short paddle trip MAY be possible to apply all that has been learned. Following the completion of this session, you may participate in 'Beginner' rated paddle trips that SK&F may offer. New members with previous paddling experience will be assessed during this session to determine on a case-by-case basis what level paddling trip they will be eligible for.

This is a new trip we are eager to try out! We will meet in the morning at the windsurfing center on Cheung Chau. Once we are on the water we will navigate around the island before crossing the channel between Cheung Chau and Lantau. Once crossed we will meander around the coast line in the direction of Mui Wo. Once there we will stop off for lunch for an hour or so. This will give everyone time to have a look around the town, give you a chance to have lunch in one of the local restaurants or have a packed lunch on the beautiful beach! After the lunch break we will get back on the water and begin to make our way back to Cheung Chau. This trip will be pretty full on and will require a decent level of stamina, so bear this in mind when signing up. As usual it is recommended to being a change of dry clothes, clothes to get wet in, shoes to get wet, a towel, sunscreen, hat, water bottle and I would suggest snacks as it will be a long day! If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a message. My WhatsApp number is +85255983489. 300hkd equipment rental fee, please bring exact cash on the day Looking forward to seeing you on the water!
