Push Hands Seminar
Good Day!
We are excited to announce an upcoming event at our school, taught by Renshi Janet Briggs!
Utilizing the knowledge gained from her nearly 20 years of practicing tai chi (and 25 years of traditional karate), Janet will offer a special seminar designed to enhance the training of martial arts students of all styles.
In this seminar, the basics of tai chi push-hands will be covered.
An integral part of tai chi training, push-hands promotes many aspects that all martial artists strive to improve, such as: - strong core / internal energy - better structure / balance / rootedness - sensitivity to external energy - heightened self-awareness - relaxed, calm and stress-free body / mind.
This seminar is open to all levels of karate students (teens and adults).
For more information, please take a moment to review the 'Seminar Flyer' (see link below).
Registration will close on Thursday April 25th.

THANK YOU! Our Donations Totaled $2300 !
~ Community Spirit 2023 ~
Dear Students and Parents...
Part of martial arts training, and Black Belt Spirit, is the discipline and generosity to help our community. Over the last 19 years, Golden Crane has helped raise money, and collected food donations, for the Food Bank many times to facilitate this understanding and training.
This year, we would like to once again extend to you the opportunity to make a monetary donation to Benefit the NH Food Bank, and help those in need.
We have chosen a monetary donation in lieu of goods so the Food Bank can purchase what they need rather than use what they have. Any left over funds can be used to purchase food at other times of the year rather than just for the holidays.
Our fundraiser will be active from Friday, December 1st to Saturday, December 16th.
​
Please bring a cash, or check, donation to the Golden Crane Office. If paying by check please make it out to the NH Food Bank so you may deduct it from your taxes.
Last year Golden Crane raised $2043! THANK YOU!!! We would like to beat that goal!
Please go to www.nhfoodbank.org for more information about the Food Bank.
​
Please give generously. Thank you!
Hanshi/Diane & Sensei/Jim
THANK YOU Everyone! Happy New Year!
