FAQ
No prior experience required. As long as you have an interest in Wushu, you are welcome to join us!
Yes! SMU Wushu specialises in traditional (传统) styles of martial arts, as opposed to the contemporary (竞赛) styles practiced by other wushu clubs. You may even tweak the style to add your own spin to it!
Under our coach's guidance, each training session has two segments. In the first segment, we practice our fundamentals in basic stances, kicks, jumps and in-air movements. In the second segment, we focus on polishing our individual specialised routines or learn new routines. In the event of upcoming competitions and performances, we choreograph our own group routines!
Free-of-charge! In addition to that, all SMU Wushu members may loan equipment from our club inventory of weapons and costumes.
Definitely! All SMU Wushu members can participate in both performances and competitions if they are interested.
SMU Wushu prides itself on being welcoming to beginners. With our coach's guidance, we pace our trainings accordingly to suit the needs of different members. The supportive environment and helpful feedback from peers makes picking up the basics a manageable and rewarding process!
"As someone who isn't a very sporty person, I never really expected that I would be in Wushu. But here I am! I joined Wushu because I wanted to learn something new and step out of my comfort zone. You may ask, why wushu out of all the other clubs out there? Well, firstly it was because I wanted to learn some self-defence and secondly it was because of the people here! After going for different trials, I felt that the people here at wushu were the friendliest and the warmest. And now, after being in the club for almost a year, I can tell you that the people here are awesome, and make training extremely fun. If you would like to sweat it out and have fun, wushu is the place to be! I also learnt new cool stuff like gong li quan and how to use a spear. I find spinning the spear very fun and cool. If you would like to know how to spin a long stick or anything, wushu is the place for you too!
Overall, I'm very happy that I decided to join Wushu back in Y1 and wouldn't have it any other way!"
