ACES Day @ National Junior College!

IMG_6052 On 6 August 2015, teachers and students from National Junior College (NJC) celebrated National Day through a series of fun-filled activities! Martial House was honoured to be part of the college’s celebration to lead the students in their ACES Day workout! IMG_5981 The ACES Day workout was specially choreographed by the Martial House team led by Coach Wan GuangYao Eric, a budding choreographer who has been actively involved in choreography works for National Day Parades in the recent years. As the theme of the workout was “Martial Arts”, elements from different forms of martial arts, such as Wushu and Muay Thai, could be seen in the routine. The routine was made simple so that it was easy for the students to follow and enjoy! IMG_6053 Under the guidance of the Martial House instructors, students from NJC spent a week to master the routine and successfully complete the workout together as a college during their National Day celebration! The enthusiasm and energy levels of the students were so great that the instructors could hardly hear their own voices on stage! IMG_6054 The Martial House team would like to thank the teachers and students from NJC for all the support provided and for their active participation! Do look forward to the video of the mass workout session which will be released soon!

Sneak Preview of the National Day Parade 2015!

ndp2 Under the guidance of Martial House Choreographers, Wan GuangYao Eric and Gordon Choy, a team of Martial House youth leaders have been working hard to prepare the Ministry of Education (MOE) contingent of more than 600 primary school students for the upcoming National Day Parade (NDP) 2015! ndp7 The Martial House youth leaders are part of the Creative Team which is responsible for the design and choreography of movements, as well as coordinating and training of students for the final act. ndp5 It is definitely challenging for the youth leaders to prepare these students for the such a massive performance. Besides the constant encouragement and support the youth leaders gave one another, the smiles on the faces of the students also provided leaders with an extra motivation to stay hyper and enthusiastic throughout the long hours of rehearsals! ndp3 During the act, students are required to perform their dance choreography, change the colours of the LED lights on their costumes and display various formations according to the rhythm and tempo of the music! ndp1 To deliver a spectacular performance, rehearsals are inevitable. A big thank you to all the various parties for making each rehearsal possible! With one month to the actual NDP 2015, hope Singaporeans are looking forward to the MOE contingent performance prepared by Martial House! ndp4
