Thai Boxing Class
The Thai Boxing Introductory Course was held in June. The 4-lesson course was started from 3 June 2011 and was completed on 24 June 2011. Over 10 YSG members, including myself, registered for this course. Although it was just a short course, it successfully helped us to bur n out our fat. Positive feedbacks were received from the participants who attended this course. What's more, most of us would like to develop their skills further and look forward to an advance training course.
As such, we decided to organize a more comprehensive training with 8-12 lessons in near future. If you are of interest in joining us, please keep an eye on the Surveyors Times. Let's have a good fight and sweat together!
