WEIGHTLIFTING WORKSHOPS

WORKSHOP LEVEL 1

If you have always wanted to try Olympic Weightlifting, here’s your chance. This is a 2 Day Olympic Weightlifting for Beginners Workshop to introduce you to the world of weightlifting. Learn the basics of how to Snatch and Clean & Jerk in a small group setting with Coach Wu Chuan Fu.

Dates: Sunday, 16 & 23 April 2023
Time: 1pm – 3pm

Price: $216 (includes 8% GST)

Note: Workshop will only run with a minimum of 4 pax.

WORKSHOP LEVEL 2

Day 1 is aimed at improving physical and movement awareness.

We’ll be running through exercises that help you understand these aspects of your body. These body awareness drills will help you learn to control specific impulses and be aware of things your body needs to fire when we transfer it to actual weightlifting drills.

The ability to stay conscious through movement is directly proportional to the level at which you perform each exercise, and this helps us also reduce the injury potential when techniques get more complicated.

Day 2: First pull and extension

Where does the force come from? How do we produce, harness and control power?

The single movement of the snatch and clean is made up of several parts, chiefly the first pull and extension. The mastery of these initial phases is extremely important, as the subsequent components of the lift will then depend on the individual’s centre of gravity and how they draw from this initial power.

Dates: TBD (please email us to indicate interest)

Pre-Requisites: Must have completed Workshop Level 1
Capacity: 8 pax

Cost: $267.50 (early bird pricing)
