Chia Kai Ming

Beginning the Journey

Chia Kai Ming began practising Wushu and joined Martial House when he was seven years old. What started as a childhood activity gradually became a defining part of his life, taking him from his earliest lessons to some of the world’s most significant sporting stages.

Throughout his journey, Kai Ming has enjoyed the connections created through Wushu, from meeting new people and training alongside fellow athletes to performing in front of an audience. Most importantly, the sport has given him a dream to work towards and a reason to continue challenging himself.

Growing with Martial House

Martial House has supported Kai Ming throughout every stage of his development, beginning with the fundamentals that formed the foundation of his Wushu journey. As he progressed, the academy provided him with valuable training, performance and competition opportunities while continuing to support his ambitions as an athlete.

Beyond technical development, Wushu has taught Kai Ming life skills and values that extend far beyond the training floor. Years of training, competition and shared experiences have helped shape his discipline, perseverance and sense of responsibility, and contributed to the person he is today.

The Strength to Return

One of the greatest challenges of Kai Ming’s journey came when he suffered an injury serious enough to threaten his competitive career. Returning to Wushu required much more than physical rehabilitation. It demanded patience, resilience and the courage to believe that his journey was not over.

His successful return to competition has become one of his greatest achievements. It is a reminder that even the most difficult setbacks do not necessarily have to determine how an athlete’s story ends.

The Oceania International Invitational Wushu Kung Fu Championships 2026 holds special significance for Kai Ming because it was his first competition after the injury. Stepping onto the competition carpet again represented far more than another competitive appearance, it marked the beginning of a new chapter.

Proud Moments

Among Kai Ming’s proudest competitive achievements was winning the gold medal in the Men’s Changquan, Daoshu and Gunshu event at The World Games Series 2024 in Hong Kong, China.

Following his recovery, Kai Ming also earned the opportunity to represent Singapore at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026. For him, flying the Singapore flag on the international stage is both a tremendous honour and a continuation of the dream he has pursued since childhood.

Memories Beyond Competition

Some of Kai Ming’s most meaningful experiences have taken place beyond formal competition.

One memorable performance was at the Singapore Motorshow 2025, where he performed during BYD’s launch of the Sealion 7. The experience gave him an opportunity to showcase Wushu in a different setting and share the sport with a wider audience.

Kai Ming also treasures the overseas intensive-training experiences shared with fellow Martial House athletes, including training in Anhui, China. These journeys strengthened his skills while creating friendships and memories that extended beyond the training hall.

Looking Ahead

Kai Ming hopes to be recognised as a world champion one day and continue flying the Singapore flag at future international competitions. These ambitions continue to motivate him to improve, persevere and make the most of every opportunity.

At the same time, he hopes his contribution to Wushu will eventually extend beyond his own competitive results. Kai Ming wants to give back to the Wushu community by sharing the knowledge and experience gained throughout his journey with younger athletes and future generations of Wushu exponents.

What Martial House Means to Me

To Kai Ming, Martial House is his second family. It is where he has made lifelong friends and met coaches, teammates and supporters who have stood by him throughout his Wushu journey.

From building his foundations as a seven-year-old beginner to supporting his return from injury and continued international career, Martial House has remained a constant presence. It has helped shape not only the athlete he has become, but also the person he is today.
