During the June holidays, Martial House Coaches, Wang Kai Ting & Leo Rui Yan (Reann), organized and conducted a 2-week intensive Wushu training camp at Choa Chu Kang Community Club. 
Throughout the 2 weeks, students have trained and worked hard to hone their Wushu skills under the guidance of the coaches. To recognize the effort of the students and coaches, parents have initiated a simple potluck party during the last day of the camp! 
Just look at the variety of food prepared by the parents! Don’t they look yummy? A big thank you to the parents for all the food and snacks! 
Though the camp has ended, it marks the beginning of new friendships and new possibilities! All the best to the students for their Wushu endeavor!

Video: Bruce Lee – The Lost Interview
https://youtube.com/watch?v=PFQ7UxUdIH8 Bruce Lee is definitely one of the most greatest Chinese martial artists of all time! His renowned “one-inch punch” has fascinated many even up till today! Besides being a reputable martial artist, Bruce Lee was also a philosopher. He shared his ideas and thoughts in a charismatic manner as shown in the interview video above. It was no wonder that his “be like water” quote is still remembered by many. Do you think you are as influential and charismatic like Bruce Lee? If yes, the contest, My Story “Who am I”, is for you!

Martial House Staff Retreat 2015 @ Thailand
We are left with one last week before the June holiday ends! Just like most students, the Martial House coaches took the opportunity to take a short break before the start of the new academic semester! 
With the objective of strengthening bonds, the staff of Martial House were away for a company retreat from 16 to 19 June 2015 at Bangkok, Thailand! 
The Martial House staff was privileged to stay in Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia, for accommodation. From the rooms, one would be mesmerize by the magnificent view of the beautiful capital of Thailand. Besides shopping, the Martial House team took time to visit popular landmarks such as the Floating Market and Four-Faced Buddha to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the country. Through these experiences, the coaches are reminded of the importance of cultural preservation which is highly relevant to the field of Wushu, given that the Chinese martial art is considered both a traditional and modern sport today. Though it was a short 4 day 3 night staff retreat, the Martial House coaches are indeed grateful for the fully sponsored trip! A big thank you to Martial House and Managing Director, Mr. Leo Wen Yeow!
