What if I told you that you could be slashing swords under moonlit skies during Mid-Autumn festival or executing the coolest flips on stage infused with trendy music during Chinese New Year? Being the one performance everyone eagerly awaits, we are none other than Hwa Chong Wushu! (华中武术)!
Wushu is both a sport and performing art which encompasses a remarkable cultural heritage. From the intricate craft of Taiji (太极), to the striking techniques of Changquan (长拳) and the powerful style of Nanquan (南拳), along with various distinct weapons, our dynamic team strives to grasp the essence of these wushu forms. Through this journey, students are inculcated with the values of wu-de (武德) and are nurtured into conscientious and resilient individuals.
A key event we participate in yearly is the National School Games (NSG) which takes place from March to April. Besides training tenaciously to shine on the carpet, our team often looks forward to soaking in the vibrant competition atmosphere, showcasing our thunderous spirit and unity through cheering for our teammates.
We train 3 times a week from 3.30pm to 6.30pm during NSG season and up to 2 times a week during off peak season. A classic training session includes basic kicks and jumps (基本功), routines (套路) and physical training (体能).
