Chan style Tai Chi revision
In this lesson you'll learn the techniques of Chen Style Tai Chi movements.
Chen style Tai Chi (陳式太極) is a more active form of Tai Chi with much faster and explosive power movements emulate a more realistic application of the martial arts techniques
You need to be physically fit to practise this style with a balance between hard and soft, fast and slow, and able to learn the fast, explosive movements.
Chen style Tai Chi (陳式太極) is the original Tai Chi style reflecting its martial art origin and techniques, It is artistic and rich in combat technique, as well as characterized by soft and vigorous movements combined. It features dynamic punches, internal power and spiral force
* The Chen style of Tai Chi uses some explosive and fast moves - like jump kicks. This may be out of the fitness range of some people.
* If you're already fairly fit or athletically inclined (or looking for a more exciting form of Tai Chi) consider the Chen style.
* The Chen style uses wide, expansive movements that can be hard on the knees and lower back muscles.
I have been practicing Tai Chi continuous for ten years and hope to share and provide guidance in regular training classes.

In 1990, the Central Market building was graded as a Grade III historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board.
After multiple rounds of study and consultation, the revitalization project for the Central Market building began in October 2017. Upon completion, a portion of the market stalls will be preserved.
the Central Market's historical significance makes it an attractive venue for hosting various types of events that can celebrate Hong Kong's rich heritage and cultural identity. Please grab a dink and enjoy!

Easy Zone 2 Training @ Kowloon
**Location:** Kowloon
**Duration:** 90 Minutes
**Difficulty:** Accessible to ALL (Self-paced intensity)
***
**The Mission**
In the world of first responders, "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." While high-intensity training gets the glory, **Zone 2 Heart Rate training** is the silent engine that powers human performance.
This session, hosted by **TacticalFitnessHK**, is designed to build your aerobic base—the foundation that allows you to recover faster, stay calm under pressure, and sustain physical output for longer durations without burning out.
### What to Expect
This is not a "balls-to-the-wall" sprint session. We are training for **longevity and resilience**.
* **Briefing (10 mins):** We’ll start with a short talk from our founders (local first responders) on why aerobic capacity is critical for emergency preparedness and mental clarity.
* **The "Talk Test" Jog/Walk (60 mins):** We will move as a group along the West Kowloon waterfront. The goal is to keep your heart rate between **60-70% of your maximum**. You should be able to hold a full conversation—this is where the community building happens!
* **Knowledge Share & Cool Down (20 mins):** We’ll wrap up with light mobility work and a Q&A session on emergency kits, situational awareness, and staying "ready" in an urban environment like Hong Kong.
***
### Why Zone 2?
For first responders and prepared citizens alike, Zone 2 training:
1. **Improves Mitochondrial Efficiency:** Teaches your body to burn fat as a primary fuel source.
2. **Enhances Recovery:** Helps clear lactate faster after high-intensity bursts.
3. **Protects the "Soul":** Lower-intensity steady-state movement is proven to reduce cortisol (stress) and improve mental health.
### Who Should Join?
**Everyone.** While we are founded by first responders to support the frontline assets, we believe a resilient city requires a resilient community. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, we welcome you to join our ranks.
### What to Bring
* Comfortable running/walking shoes.
* A heart rate monitor or smartwatch (optional—we can teach you the "Talk Test" method).
* Water (hydration is key even at lower intensities).
* An open mind and a spirit for community.

**Ready to build your foundation?** Click "Join" to reserve your spot. We train rain or shine.

Step into Dual Orbit, a one‑night journey through Hong Kong’s most imaginative sounds as The Moon Five and Movement take over Terrible Baby. Settle into a seat for the first set, then feel the pull to stand, sway, and sing along as the night heats up.

## The Moon Five

五位資深音樂人去年因緣際會組成樂團。他們隨後創作了一系列融合流行、搖滾、電影感甚至法林明高的精彩樂曲。特別之處:沒有主唱。快來體驗他們帶來的驚喜!

## Movement
牧⺠樂隊來⾃香港新蒲崗,由⼀群純樸、⾃由和浪漫之徒所組
成。
他們愛帶着樂器,⽤⾳樂這國際語⾔四處交友,隨⼼⽽發。因為
隊員的性格各有不同,所以曲風格調也各有千秋。他們其⾳樂為
流⾏搖滾城市⺠謠(Pop Rock City Folk),常常即興創作,令
⼈驚喜。他們希望⽤⾳樂去關⼼世界、社會和你;也希望⽤真實
的歌詞和幽默的⼿法,成為漆⿊中的螢火蟲。他們很喜歡在市
集、啤酒節、⾳樂節及街頭等場合演出,但最過癮的還是在旅途
當中唱歌。
We are a group of pure, free and romantic people. We love
making friends with musical instruments (music is an
international language). We follow our hearts to sing. Due to the
different personalities of our members, our music consists of
various styles. Also, we often surprise people by improvisation

The Graduate
This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations.
After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.
Stop Negative thinking and Over-thinking and Feel More Positive
How do we recover from having had a toxic or narcissistic ex?

In this meeting, you will learn the mental health secrets to help you
quickly get over the past and heal your mind.

This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
Celebrate National Chip and Dip Day!
***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too.
**Where the Chip Began (1817)**
Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.”
**Chip and Dip Popularity**
The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!)
**[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst!
**PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street).
**PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.

Free In-Person Event: Handle Self-Confidence & Motivation to Achieve Your Goals
This is an in-person meeting.
Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living.
Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation.
This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome:
-Out-of-control unwanted emotions
-Low self-esteem
-Anxiety
-Negativity
-Stress
-Irrational fears
-Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents
-Breakups
-Betrayals
-Feeling like you're not really yourself
-Self-doubt...
We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup!
This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
