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。。。。

怎样可以更好的练好武术?

通过练武术,可以得到剽悍的身体、智慧的脑袋、高贵的人格。

怎么样练习武术?都知道的是多练,当然也要有很好的休息,就是循序渐进,持之以恒。

还有都知道的不偷懒认真练习,偷懒的话练习武术没什么用,可能还会导致动作变形,所以建议还不如直接休息,就是不偷懒能吃苦耐劳。

还有一种很关键的训练方式可能很多人不知道,我们训练的时候看到老师教给我们的动作,包括了节奏,意识,技巧等等。

如果课堂时间没有练好动作和没有掌握好技巧,这时候就要用这种方式练习,就是用脑子练习。。。官方语言叫意象训练。

你可以闭上眼睛想自己在练习套路或者技巧动作,想是无限广的,你可以想飞但是你知道自己跳多高所以不太可能呵呵!

想想自己在自己脑子里练习武术的场景,哪里快?哪里慢?哪里定?哪里高?哪里低?想一个动作从自己脑子里看自己的动作有没有做好,手在哪里?眼看哪里? 如果可以一直保持这种训练方法,你的水平会提升很快。供学生们借鉴!

一分耕耘一分收获

 


俗话说一分耕耘一分收获,只有付出才能得到想要的目的。

练习武术更是如此一个星期练习一次和练习5次和10次的技术水平肯定是不一样的,新学生开始学习武术的内容是基本功,一些基本手型,手法和步行,很重要基本功决定他们以后武术的发展方向。

记得刚开始上课班上有个叫邵勇智的学生,冲拳力度很差没有掌握好正确发力的要点,拳打出去软的像条蛇。。。

然后我用了一些方法让他知道拳打出去是要像猛虎一样,凶猛有力。后来学习了马步和弓步,都做的马马虎虎,下课的时候我教导勇智回到家要复习学过内容。

同样的教导,但是等到下次上课的时候看到勇智在练习的时候和上次完全不一样,冲拳和步行比开始规矩了很多,很明显的看到了进步,真是应允了开头的那句话,付出才有收获。

希望勇智的这种坚持和毅力可以感染到其他同学,练了是你自己的,别人抢不走。。。

武术对少儿的帮助


说到练习武术的好处可能大家最多想到的是,身体健康,防身自卫,而且武术有很好的观赏性。

其实武术不光是表面上大家理解的这些好处,他还可以锻炼人的身心,特别是从小接触武术会对儿童成长有着关键的重要性。

少儿练习武术对意志品质是多方面的。通过练习武术可以使儿童从小锻炼出独立自主的生活习惯,培养刻苦耐劳,永不自满的品质。遇到困难和挫折可以克服逃避消极的心态,锻炼勇敢无畏,坚韧不屈的意志品质。还可以培养儿童,勤奋,坚强,刻苦,果断,虚心好学等良好的生活习性和品德。

通过良好的武术训练和武德教育,可以改变少儿的“胆怯” “好动”等不良的心里因素。

改变日常生活中的一些弊端,对少儿以后的身体成长,学习和生活方面都有很好的帮助。

宝贝四胞胎

   


今天主题:星期五幼儿班4位“元老” - 齐 乐 恩 悦 。

他们是一家四胞胎,5岁,三女一男。还记得星期五的这个班就是因为他们四个而成立的。当时他们才4岁多一点还不能加入大班,所以便开了这特别的幼儿班。

还记得开始时会哭,而且有时候两三个一起哭。。。*头疼*。主要训练内容是体能和基本功。记得他们是在模糊的情况下去模仿好像不知道这是什么。。。跑几步可能就摔倒, 步法跟站着没区别, 手臂撑地很快就趴下, 但是他们上课的时候会很用心去练,虽然体能,模仿,反应,各方面都不理想。。。

几个月过去了,现在的他们冲刺跑会比谁拿第一,手臂撑地可以撑很久我说OK他们才起来。下腰凡齐从开始用头撑地,现在可以不用头了。练习组合会比赛谁做的好,谁最快最有力,反应现在也都很快。甚至有时候不听话时,我凶也不会看见他们哭了。。。

经过一次武术体能考试,我看到了他们身体,心灵,各方面的成长,希望他们以练习武术来继续帮助他们健康,快乐成长每一天!

自己成长经历

我的名字:王镇。中国-河北人。由于从小对电视剧里武侠人物很崇拜,所以8岁就去学习了武术,一练就是10几年。

我学习武术那时是住校的,8岁第一次晚上睡觉没有爸,妈陪在身边感觉很害怕 ,刚去学习武术第一天我就哭了,自己那时候已经要自己洗衣服,生病自己去看医生,已经要学习独立生活了。

我小时候学武术的经历是很苦的,每天早上0530起床跑步训练,下午也要训练,春夏秋冬一样,真是冬练三九,夏练三伏,累不敢喊累,痛不敢说痛,因为教练会打人的。。。

经历了10几年的无数次的伤痛,汗水和泪水的专业训练,2003年我去北京建设大学体育学院去学习深造。

上大学又是学习的另一个世界,要学习怎么样做老师,怎么去研究武术的训练技巧,而不是像专业训练那是阶段只有训练还是训练。

在校期间跟随我的武术老师,邸广文老师带这我们有很多次的社会实践机会。

首先在中国中央电视台做直播演出多次。 出国演出舞台剧。 而且拍摄过多部武打片电视连续剧。大学期间积累了对武术表演,武打对练,以及武术教学方面丰富的经验。

毕业后又继续深造了对健身方面的知识,而且也拿到了AASFP亚洲运动及体适能专业证书,而且结合武术和健身器切有两年的教学经验。

2009年来新加坡教学武术,到目前已经快两年新加坡的教学经验。。。

训练日记

上周训练课上学生热身完练习基本功时
发现学生的柔韧性需要更努力去的去练,
因为现在学生柔韧度练习的少很难达到合格的标准。

原因是压柔韧的时候会痛,
学生感觉到痛就不会在继续用力压。
如果痛一下就不压不坚持的话很难把柔韧压开,
如此循环一直都会止步不前,

还有一个原因是学生压柔韧的时间太少,
有的可能是只有一个礼拜上课的时候来压一下,
学生现在身体还没到定性的时候会一直在成长,
如果不每天坚持压柔韧也会达不到很好的效果,

上课的时候我常告诉学生让他们
每天在家里用10分钟来联系压柔韧,
这样不但柔韧会进步,
而且可以锻炼学生的耐心和意志力。

练了武术才知道(2)

练了武术才知道,汗流多了,衣服上会有白花花的盐粒的 -
练了武术才知道,冬天的风是可以在身上划出口子的 -
练了武术才知道,肌肉拉伤是那么疼的 -

练了武术才知道,腾空下来会有人休克的 -
练了武术才知道,原来崴脚也能成为家常便饭的 -
练了武术才知道,肉皮掉的时候也可以是一层一层的 -

练了武术才知道,冬天的杠铃贴在脖子上是可以粘住的 -
练了武术才知道,操场上任何地方都能当床的 -
练了武术才知道,两个练武术的碰面两分钟就能成亲人的 -

练了武术才知道,一起练武术的人,是可以哥们一辈子的 -
练了武术才知道,不只有军人才有铁与血的风采 -
练了武术才知道,人是没有克服不了的困难的 -

多年的同甘共苦,多年的风雨兼程,我们从未放松,永不止步 -

“流 血流汗不流泪,掉皮掉肉不掉队”这句形容军人的话,已经被每一个练武人当成了队规,深深的刻在了的骨子里.

“我们谁都不服,就服墙,因为墙只能倒不会弯;
我们什么都会,就不会谦虚,因为谦虚代表软弱;
但我们懂得低调,因为低调是最酷的炫耀!”

这是每个练武人的真实写照!-

练了武术才知道 (1)


练武人在别的人眼中是什么样的?
有说我们有些狂,我们有些傲,有些追求过分的完美;
我们凭什么,我们有什么资本?
那好现在我就告诉你们我们凭什么!
你们在乘凉时,我们在高温下一遍遍练习动作 -
你们在吹风时,我们在曝晒中一次次重复冲刺 -
你们捂着羽绒服避着寒风时,我们在大冷天跑的浑身大汗 -
你们拿着羽毛球拍锻炼身体时,我们耍着杠铃片自娱自乐, -
你们喝茶水饮料时,我们得喝那恶心的要命的氨基酸-
你们放学拎着大包小包去聚餐时,我们却得拎着臭鞋带这一身的疲惫去洗澡换衣服 -
你们围着操场跑个圈说什么健康减肥真累,可是我们得以每天至少20圈一万多米当生活 -
你们体育课结束走下操场时蹦蹦跳跳大呼玩的不爽,可我们下课时连迈腿的力气都没有,只能互相搀扶 -
你们拿葡萄糖当营养,我们恨不得把这些当饭吃 -
你们崴了脚有人疼,请假回家无人敢拦,可是我们崴脚要忍,要的学会怎样使疼痛降到最低因为我们还要继续甚至挨教练骂-
你们觉得我们可以中午背着书包就走很潇洒,其实你们不知道我们潇洒背后的艰苦 -
你们没事了想哪件衣服多漂亮,我们没事了得想怎样才能把旋风脚720度下叉衔接的更顺畅 -
你们3年高中把自己保养的皮白肉嫩,我们肩上的皮手上的茧却脱了一层有一层。 -
你们学习好被称之为聪明,可我们专业好了却被暗骂四肢发达 -
多少次风雨中起跑,多少次烈日下冲刺,挥汗如雨 多少次摔了爬起,多少次伤了继续,多少次泪汗同流,依旧无惧。 -
