           NEW STUFF:


  • See Nam Yang's Nick Evagorou at the Bijing Olympics. Congratulations to Nick who won a Bronze Medal from everyone in Singapore!   Nick Evagorou, Nam Yang U.K.’s San Shou Instructor,  recently travelled to the Olympics in Beijing to compete in the 85kg San Shou category at the 2008 Wu Shu Championships.  Being the only British competitor selected for the tournament is obviously a huge honour for both Nick and Nam Yang as a whole.  Nick recently returned to the UK having won a Bronze medal – a fantastic achievement! Nick won his first fight against Elie Saade of Lebanon, taking the first round comfortably and landing a selection of hard kicks and punches.  Elie fought hard in the second and it was much closer but Nick still controlled the action and won it 3-2.
  • Nick’s next fight was against Muslim Salikov of Russia, who is generally held to be the best San Shou fighter in the world in the -85kg category.  The fight started at a fast pace with both fighters throwing hard leg kicks.  Nick landed several good punches and almost took the Russian down with a singe leg takedown.  The fight was very close when Salikov throw his trademark turning sidekick, driving his heel into Nick’s ribs.  Nick was winded and unfortunately couldn’t quite beat the resulting eight count.
  • Even though he lost Nick gave Salikov his toughest fight of the tournament and put in one of his best performances.  Having an Olympic Bronze medallist as a San Shou instructor at the club is very prestigious for Nam Yang and so congratulations to Nick are in order.
  • Please take the time to watch Nick’s fight with Salikov on Youtube.
  • We are pleased to announce the opening of the Nam Yang Mountain Training Centre, a permanent, full time training centre in the idyllic setting of in Pai, northern Thailand, where students can train, take instructor courses, and where we aim to film instructional videos.
