Toum special sessions 2007 - 2008 Residential and intensive We organize seven to eight special sessions per year (during holidays), in orderly areas outside of Paris selected for their fresh air and convenience for the practice of our art. We always need a room for our practice (wushu guan). Enquire along the year for the papers of those sessions.

We also try, for everyone's convenience, to organize either groups or entire sessions by level. When nothing is specified, all levels are accepted provided the possibility of constituting two groups and shorter hours.

Just like Russian dolls, an advanced student (AV) may and shall review the external layers to dig the hidden (internal) layers, improving his own practice by doing so.

All year long you can ask for the sessions information to your main teacher, dial 01 42 60 21 01 to leave your name and number on the answering machine (beware the message might be in French), or, preferably, send an e-mail (see page Contact/lLins).

The Toum outfit

It is only advised (though for most of others martial arts, it is mandatory).
But it is mandatory for some sessions and demonstrations.

.  

Ours is a Chinese outfit composed of a navy blue shirt (long sleeves and officer collar) and white pants. Please ask for the adresses of the shops which sell such articles. Sports shoes made of cloth or leather, with a flat and thin sole are strongly advised. To start you only need soft pants (no shorts or no-sleeves shirt), a T-shirt or a long sleeve shirt and sandals or socks. The Toum T-shirt is also used for leisure, meetings, Tuishou challenges or practice..
