Since last year already, we have been actively searching for a gym. It is quite difficult to find a gym in Amsterdam. It must be big enough to practice kung fu in with a decent size group and it must be available on the same time and day every week. One of our students has found a very nice gym in the Robert Scottstraat in Amsterdam-West. Today we were invited to view the gym and it looked great. The space is suitable for martial arts practice. We spotted a punching bag standing in a corner of the room so most likely the gym is also home to a kickboxing school. The size of the room took some getting used to, coming from the wide open training ground outside in Sloterpark. The gym is easy to reach for students from the schools in Gelderland. For instance on foot from metro stop Jan van Galen straat. By car, the gym is right off a city ring exit. There is a lot of free parking space, but parking is not free.
We are going to try out the gym next Monday (February 1) already, at 19:00h. Everyone who is interested in a free trial lesson is welcome to join. Please sign up via the contact form, though. If we are pleased with the gym and all the paperwork is made in order, we plan to officially launch Kung Fu School Golden Dragon Amsterdam-West on February 8. The training sessions on Saturdays in Sloterpark (Amsterdam Nieuw-West) op Saturdays at 10:00h will continue. Follow the blog and social media channels of Golden Dragon for the latest news about the new training location.
