Video Update "One Heart One Kuen"
Hi all.
Finally found the time to upload another video from the Kuen Wushu Mid-year performance earlier this year at the NAFA Lee Foundation Theatre.
This item aptly titled "One Heart One Kuen" is choreographed by Chief Trainer Di Guangwen himself. Talents include students from Kuen Advanced class and Kuen Wushu's Performance Troupe. The video resolution has been intentionally brought down for faster uploading to youtube's servers. Inside you will see familiar faces of your favourite Kuen Wushu trainers and affiliated trainers.
Enjoy!
PS: Keep a look out on this blog for the latest news update on a whole *NEW* Kuen Wushu Production coming Feb 2010. Titled "CHAMPION" featuring the best from Kuen Wushu Academy and the World Renowned BEIJING WUSHU TEAM!
BEIJING WUSHU TEAM + KUEN WUSHU ACADEMY = ONE HELLAVA SHOW!!!

Post Event Update for One Heart One Kuen
Its over! Yeah! And YES, ITS A SUCCESS!
Once again, thank you all for supporting "One Heart, One Kuen". Thanks to all the parent helpers, student performers, stage crew, planning committee and of course the executing committee, for their hard work and tireless contributions!
*Deep Bow*
Everybody at Kuen has been on semi load and operating frequency post event. After a crazy 5 weeks of planning and preparations, it is a huge relief. It was a logistical nightmare to coordinate (8 different locations to come down for rehearsals) and bluddy expensive to put together. All those weeks of planning, execution and practice culminated in a night that would not soon be forgotten. If by some huge stroke of misfortune you weren't able to get tickets or make it to the venue for the performance on the 31st May at the NAFA Lee Foundation Theatre, here are some clips I've uploaded that were screened on the day.

Here's a nice read on the VS blog (Victoria School) covering the event. There's a clip of the boys entertaining themselves doing silly things like making a "blair-witch + dawn of the dead" video clip in a huge pile of Goodie Bags. Add in some music, singing and tap-dancing, and Voila! We have another mega-hit production in the making. Lets call it ...

Kuen Wushu founder TV interview (aired 2007)
Was doing some admin work yesterday afternoon in the office. A colleague was browsing thru the company video archives for research. I had my back turned to him the whole time he was messin ard with the vids until suddenly, I heard this strangely familiar voice coming from the speakers behind me. Took me 2 seconds to realize it was mine and that he has found the stash of audio/video recordings of the TV interview(s) (Yes, there is more than one.) of Moi a few years back.
So there you go. I've dugged it out and dusted off the cobwebs. After a bit of editing and re-encoding for youtube, I uploaded it during the night. First of a few, this one's aired on Channel 8 in 2007 if I remember correctly. Those of you who ever wondered if it was any fun starting your own Wushu school - it is a lot of work. Watch to find out more.
Voila! Enjoy!
PS: Those familiar with Kuen trainers will notice the actor for a younger me is none other than our very own Mr. Wang Liang! Heh... well, they couldn't find anyone who could do Wushu so they asked if I could provide my own "younger self" for filming. Funny how he looks even older than I am now when he's supposed to be me at 24.

Hindi Kungfu Film - Chandni Chowk To China
Watched my first Hindi film of 2009 last night and it was surprisingly good. If you've ever wondered what a successful fusion of classic Chinese Kungfu flick + Hindi Bollywood song and dance would look like, this is it.
The martial arts scenes were adequately done with Kungfu Hustle-type CGI. Don't go in expecting Ip Man-ish fight sequences of course. Instead, be delighted by a familiar, albeit cliche comedy of a loser-turned hero, who's help is enlisted to fight off the baddie, save the village and win the girl of his dreams. You'd be smiling at the familiar comedic kungfu training scenes where the protagonist endures some tough-love training in a bamboo forest setting, dished out by the Master as he undergoes his zero-to-hero transformation.
Loved the song and dance bollywood-style sequences. Yes its silly to most of us not used to such films but the mesmerizing female lead makes it quite fun and lovely to watch. The director must be a Chinese movie buff, you will be able to spot the clever references to popular Chinese movies like Curse of the Golden Flower, the Banquet, Kungfu Hustle, etc.
Watch the trailer and see fer urselves!
