Just Active x Wandering Warrior Kung Fu 2024 Wrapped!

Just Active is a sports and activity project that supports LGBTIQ+ refugees and asylum seekers living in Glasgow to get active, try out new sports and to feel better connected to others and the local community. As part of this project we organised a 6 week Kung
Fu block for participants, delivered by Wandering Warrior

These sessions were led by the wonderful instructor Camilo who teaches Northern Shaolin Kung Fu and is experienced in several other styles of martial arts. 

We have received lots of positive feedback from the participants and here are some quotes:

1) “I really enjoyed the Kung Fu sessions. For me it was like therapy, I could come when my head was full and after the session I could have a happy mood”.

2) “The Kung Fu has been relaxing and a stress relief. I enjoy the greeting, the company of everyone and the moderator”.

3) “It improved my skills in self defence and learned more about martial art skills”.

4) “The King Fu classes are deeply enriching because they combine physical discipline and mental focus. I enjoyed improving my physical fitness, mind body connection and self defence skills”.

5) “This was my first time to join any LEAP Sports activities and my experience was amazing”.
