Facebook killed Blogger... Goodbye Blog.

Hi all,

Nobody writes blogs anymore. Nobody except freelance journalists I guess. Since Facebook exploded onto the scene 2 years ago, anybody and everybody has one and Blogs went the way of MySpace. Poof.

In case you were wondering, I still do not use Facebook. I like privacy thank you. And in a couple of years, who knows, those of you who are using Facebook now would probably like to have it back too. Guess what? Ain't gonna happen man. What's on the web, stays on the web. Like Forever.

So with that note, Adios to whoever happens upon this-site-formerly-known-as-a-Blog.

Take care and Peace!

Goodbye 2010. Hello 2011.

Hey,

Its the 3rd day of the new year, here's a look back at 2010.

- Feb 2010
"The Champion" Wushu performance at Victoria Theatre. A sold-out show, featuring Wushu stars such as Liu Qinghua and Wu Di from Beijing Wushu Team and some of our top-tiered China Wushu Trainers from Kuen Wushu.

- Mar 2010
We said goodbye to our home for 2 years at Upper Boon Keng (Shines) and relocated to Dunearn Road (CNIS). The turn out for the subsequent open house at the new school location was exceptionally good and most everyone agrees that the new hall is excellent for Wushu training.

- May - Aug 2010
Started the first video uploads of training clips and new authors on the Blog by Kuen Wushu Trainers. Parents can get to know a little more about Zhipeng laoshi and Wang Zhen laoshi.
Mid-year Wushu Assessment for Kuen Wushu students.

- Sep 2010
Mid-Autumn Festival at CNIS. Did an in-house performance to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. Turn out as usual was more than expected. Good experience for some first-timers on stage.

- Oct - Dec 2010
More video uploads by the trainers. Conducted a very fun Chinese Cultural Programme with Eduplus for the students Holy Innocents High. Ridiculous fun with costumes and exciting live martial arts fighting by the Kuen trainers.
Participated in the trade show at Expo.
More collaboration with Eduplus for holiday programmes.
Year-end Wushu Assessment for Kuen Wushu students.
Beijing Shichahai Training trip under Chief Trainer Di.

That about covers it, aside from some other events I can't really recall right now.

Wishing everyone a great new year in 2011!

Kuen-Eduplus Wushu Cultural Programme for Holy Innocents High

Kuen Wushu hosted a Chinese Culture Enrichment Programme together with Eduplus Language Centre. More than 240 Secondary 3 students from Holy Innocent's High took part in a live sketch of the classic Chinese period story "Jing Ke's assassination of Emperor Qin". The students were taught to perform a fan dance routine and a group Wushu routine to showcase to the "Emperor", played to hilarious effect by one of their own classmates. The climatic ending features a live choreographed fight to the finish between the heroic Jingke (played by Kuen Wushu's Zhipeng Laoshi) and the Emperor's bodyguard played by Kuen Wushu's Wang Liang Laoshi.

洋娃娃对武术的热爱

洋娃娃对武术的热爱可能受到一些武打明星展现在荧幕上的精彩对打所感染很崇拜“功夫”

我们在汗合国际学校举办的一次活动中表演武术的时候吸引了台下很多洋娃娃的目光从他们的惊呼中能看出来他们对武术的向往和热爱!演出结束后就有很多洋娃娃来报名参加武术课程就这样我们国际学校的武术课就开始了。

开始上课他们的兴趣很高,下课了他们还会向老师请教自己练的对不对,很有上进心,只有这样积极的学习态度练习武术的时候才会进步!

不过由于他们对武术的好奇,也很多话问的都是李小龙,成龙,李连杰这些明星他们感觉这些人是中国功夫的代表!希望能像他们一样厉害,呵呵我告诉他们你们是通过电影这个大舞台认识的他们,你们好好练习武术也会有展现自己的舞台让别人认识你们。

武术源自中国,属于世界!希望国际友人可以通过练习武术圆你的功夫梦。找到属于你的舞台!

演出与训练

军人在校场日复一日,年复一年的训练是为了在战场上战胜敌人。

那武术运动员的反复练习又是为了什么?有的可能是为了强身健体, 有的可能是要在赛场上成为冠军。还有是希望在舞台上展示自己。

然而任何一种理想都要是台下无数次的训练才能达到的,你要成为冠军但是冠军只有一个,比赛一次你可能没有成为冠军,但是你要在后面慢慢的去追赶冠军,最终成为冠军。

说到演出也一样,在舞台不可能大家都是主角,主角也是有一定天赋和在训练中更刻苦,从群众一步一步的磨炼出来的,不可能第一次上台就是主角,从小到大。。。从最初到最终。。。 都是有过程的。

所以只要有上台展示自己的机会,希望大家把握住,不要嫌弃他是什么角色,因为这是对你内心的一种磨炼和舞台的经验,有了这些磨炼和经验才能让你成为主角的时候你能把握住。

这也是你成为主角的台阶,只有通过一个个的台阶你才能登上顶峰。。。。
