About this class
Our Chinese archery course in Bremen follows the true old tradition of Pa Kua and combines meditative with martial arts elements for the holistic development of body and mind. The courses take place weekly (1-3 times a week, flexible membership), in small, supporting groups in our studios in Bremen or Stuhr-Brinkum.
Beginners start with the basics: correct posture, breathing, meditative static shots for peace, focus and introspection. Dynamic shots in various positions are added later to build up strength, mobility, coordination and precision. We use traditional techniques that emphasize inner silence, presence, and non-competitive growth — not points or competition, but personal development and stress relief.
Equipment (e.g. Mongol-style bows) is provided or available. Suitable for all ages and levels, including children and families.
What you’ll do in the class
In this class, we do a full warm-up as we walk around the mat and then use full stretches from neck to legs. Explain all the main features of the equipment: bow, arrows, aim, space to stand, how to collect arrows, etc.
In the second part of the lesson, we explain in detail how to use a bow and arrow and how to shoot. Also check safety rules to prevent injuries or accidents. And from here we shoot in different positions, explain how to breathe, how to move around the mat with the bow.
And also in this course, we will practice basic topics about martial arts to learn how to use the body when we don't have the weapon in our hands. Then, the practice of kicks, punches, blocks and basic self-defense techniques are part of the course.
Who is the class suitable for?
Children aged 12 and over and adults of all ages can practice this course. Even if you have some movement restrictions, we'll try to adapt and find a way to practice.
If you want to improve your concentration and body control while using your bow and arrow, this is a class for you.
