Featured Activity

Hula
Time: Thursdays 11:00 am
Cost: $2 members
      $2 non-members
Location: Exercise Room
Description: Get ready to shake your groove thing as we welcome back Hula! Starting March 3 Hula classes will be held from 1:30 - 3:30 pm. The class is officially called Hula for Health: “Walk In and Hula Out.” This will be a basic beginning hula class for men AND women and is only $2 per class. According to the instructors, Jacque Robertson, a native Hawaiian, and Irene Hernandez, Hula is a beautiful art form, that develops grace, poise, coordination, and body awareness through dance and low impact exercise. Hula provides flexibility, strength, and mobility. In fact, in the islands, the hula is a celebrated type of outlet for seniors, and is a great stress reliever. Students will learn the basic hula steps through graceful hand and body movements, as well as a series of beautiful modern hulas (Hula ‘Auana). No prior hula or dance experience is required. All you need to bring is water, comfortable loose clothing, and soft shoes (or you may go barefoot). This is a wonderful opportunity for seniors to get active in a fun, nurturing atmosphere and learn a bit about the Hawaiian culture.
Cane Defense Students Win Awards
By:
Last month members of our Cane Defense class went to the Orange County International Open for martial arts. Frank Rodriguez and Micheal Wagnon, both brown belts, each walked away with trophies for their effort and skills.

The Cane Defense class is taught by Senior Master Jim Willoughby. He has taught the class for nearly five years. He has been involved in martial arts for over 50 years, is a member of the Masters 2012 Hall of Fame.

Senior Master Willoughby’s thoughts on the class is simple. Everyone else was teaching kids, and he had a bad knee so he and former instructor Grandmaster Pierre Bergere put a class together that takes seniors limits and disabilities into account. There are other cane classes out there, but they require a full range of motion. This class does not. The class also focuses on the redirection of power, and not necessarily attack. The class meets at 10 a.m., and the cost is $10 per week. For more information call us at (909)862-8104 or stop by the class.
