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 / sports shoes ● 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. If you have trouble finding us, contact Sophian via Meetup. **Weather & Cancellation** If rain or bad weather is forecast, we may move to a covered area nearby or reschedule. 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 a regular Bring-Your-Own-Book session, where participants share and present to the group non-fiction books they have read. New members are welcome to attend to listen to and discuss the presentations of others. Usually a meeting takes around 2.5-3 hours. During this time we discuss 2 different books, roughly 1 hour per book. Any non-fiction material: a book, documentary, or lecture or a part of it - anything with a title and an author and that contains some coherent ideas. Each presentation includes a summary of a book (15-40 min) and discussion (accordingly). The meeting will be either in a park or in a coffee shop, on HK side. The exact place to be confirmed with the attendees **by WhatsApp only**. I will / have sent the link to the WhatsApp group, please use the link. Introvert friendly. We have people from different countries, so while books can be in any language, the language of the meeting is English. There is a fee of 20 HKD for the first timers to help funding the Meetup membership needed to run the group. Do not hit "Attend" if you are not going to attend. If you RSVPed, but there is anything preventing you from going to the meeting, remember to tell the host as soon as possible and/or update the RSVP - before the RSVP is closed, to give other people a chance to take your spot. But if you plan to attend, do hit "Attend", please :))) No-shows are all silently noted with much disapproval and will be removed from the group.
