Martial House Mock Wushu Competition (2)

by

IMG_7576 Earlier this morning, Martial House conducted the second session of mock competition at Hong Wen School (Indoor Sports Hall). This time round, the mock competition was mainly for the secondary school and junior college students who will be representing their schools in the upcoming National Inter-School Wushu Championships 2015! IMG_7555Just like the previous mock competition, the objective of this session was to familiarize students to the competition setting and procedure. It also serves as a platform for students to make new friends and to learn from one another. IMG_7683 Martial House Coach Patrick Lim shared his observation, “The mock competition has definitely met its objectives. It is great to see all these students coming together to learn from one another. However, I feel that some students can be more confident when they are executing their routines. Whether is it their body language or facial expressions, the students should be committed to the movements of their routines. Only then, they are able to reach the next level.” IMG_7700 A parent also commented, “It is really nice to see all these students training together and cheering for one another! This should be the spirit! Who says competition is all about winning?! Hopefully there will be more of such events in the future!” IMG_7707Without the active participation of the students and the endless support from the parents and teachers, the mock competition would not have been a success! Special thanks to the Martial House coaches and assistants who made both sessions possible! IMG_7718Hopefully, the students find the mock competition beneficial and should you have any feedback regarding the mock competition, feel free to send an email to [email protected]. IMG_7711 With less than 2 weeks to the National Inter-School Wushu Championships 2015, Martial House & Wushu Daze wish all participants the best of luck!
