After three full days, Session A of the Martial House Wushu Day Camp has finally come to an end! 
During the camp, participants were introduced to the basic fundamentals of Wushu, which helped them better understand and appreciate the cultural art and sport. 
Besides improving their strength, flexibility and coordination, participants will also learn about martial morality, the guiding principles behind Wushu.

MJC & BSS Wushu Exchange Programme
On 16 November 2015, an exchange programme was conducted between the Wushu teams of Meridian Junior College (MJC) & Beatty Secondary School (BSS). The programme was led by Martial House coaches, Wan GuangYao Eric, Hu Xiaodan & Jeremy Tan. 
With the objective to provide BSS students a first-hand experience of the training intensity in MJC, the coaches conducted a series of interactive, yet tedious training activities for the students. Esther Low, a member of BSS Wushu team, said “It was a fun and great experience to have an exchange programme with MJC. It is our first time training with these seniors. Just by observing their training methods, it motivates me to work even harder during training.” 
Melvin Tan, Vice-Captain of MJC Wushu team shared some of his thoughts, “The training was enriching as we got to train with secondary school students who could be the next generation of team mates or competitors in the ‘A’ Division competition. Hope the students from BSS will continue to pursue their passion in Wushu even after graduation!” 
Adrian Tan, Captain of MJC Wushu team, also mentioned, “It was really nice to have the BSS students training with us and I hope they enjoyed the session as much as we do! Hope they will come for another session soon!” The Wushu exchange programme was indeed an eye opening and satisfying experience for students from both MJC & BSS. The session would not be possible without the active support and coordination of the teachers-in-charge from both teams. A big thank you to all for making the programme a successful one!

Before ending the first activity, selected guests who have performed outstandingly well were invited on stage to showcase their movements! 
During the break, before the start of the second activity which is the brand’s appreciation dinner, a photo booth was set up for the guests to take photos with their friends who came from countries across Southeast Asia.

Martial House @ Jurongville Secondary School
On 22 October 2015, the Martial House team conducted a half-day Wushu programme for the Secondary 1 cohort of Jurongville Secondary School. 
The programme began with an introductory Wushu presentation to provide students with a basic knowledge of the Chinese martial arts. 
During the ‘Introduction to Weapons’ segment, students from each class were invited to have some hands-on experience with the various weapons. 
After the presentation, students were separated into smaller groups to learn a basic Wushu routine from the coaches. The students then performed a massive display of the routine together as one! 
To better understand and appreciate “wu de”, otherwise known as martial morality, an interactive Q&A session was conducted along with a series of video screening. 
Before concluding the programme, students shared their thoughts and reflection about Wushu as they completed the questionnaire prepared by the Martial House team. 
Martial House would like to thank the teachers of Jurongville Secondary School to be part of Mother Tongue programme. It was indeed a great pleasure for the coaches to share their knowledge and experience with the students!
