Every year, teachers-in-charge weigh the same questions when engaging an external CCA provider. Are the coaches qualified, will students stay interested and will sessions run smoothly week after week? These questions are especially important for Wushu, where effective coaching must account for technical foundations, such as stance work and the safe execution of kicks and jumps. Choosing a dependable provider therefore means looking beyond general coaching experience to qualit

Walking into a Wushu class for the first time can feel like stepping into a new language, with coaches calling out terms that mean nothing yet. A stance gets named, a routine gets referenced and a new student is left nodding along without much idea what just happened. This is completely normal, and it usually only takes a few classes for the vocabulary to click. Most of these words come up again and again, so learning a handful early makes class much easier to follow from day

Learning to accept correction without feeling discouraged is a skill on its own, one that many children struggle with well beyond the training hall. Wushu classes are structured in a way that builds this skill naturally, often without a child realising it is happening. Here is how that process works. Correction Happens Constantly, Not Occasionally In a typical Wushu class, a coach adjusts a stance, a hand position or a kick several times within a single session. This frequenc

If you have ever sat through a trial class wondering whether you are asking the right things, you are not alone. Martial arts classes vary more than most parents expect, even within the same discipline, so a class that worked well for a friend’s child is not automatically the right one for yours. A little research before enrolling goes a long way towards avoiding a switch later on. These 10 questions will help you cover the essentials. We also have a guide on choosing the rig

Hearing your child say they want to quit Wushu can catch you off guard, especially if they seemed to enjoy it not long ago. It is easy to feel a rush of questions all at once. Is this a phase? Is something wrong? Should you simply let them stop? Before deciding anything, it helps to slow down and work through the situation step by step instead of reacting to the first thing your child says. We have put together a practical approach to understanding what is going on and figur

So, you’ve got a rough idea of which Wushu class might suit your child, after thinking about their age, goals and the kind of training that suits them best. Now comes the fun part: seeing how they settle in and start to progress. The first month of Wushu is full of small, steady wins that build the foundation for everything that follows. From getting comfortable in a new class to attempting a first simple sequence, each week brings its own little signs of progress. Here’s wha

A full Wushu routine can look like a long list of moves to remember all at once, which is exactly why so many students feel stuck when they first see it. Memorising a routine gets much easier once it is broken down into a clear process. This guide covers seven practical ways to learn a routine without the overwhelm. 1. Break the Routine into Small Segments Trying to learn an entire routine in one sitting makes it harder to retain any of it. Instead, split the routine into sho

Rebuilding strength after a break from Wushu takes patience. Follow these steps to return safely and confidently.

Sword spins stop people mid-scroll. They stop judges mid-score. When a spin lands cleanly inside a Changquan form, it doesn’t just look good—it feels earned. But getting there takes more than raw talent. It takes the kind of slow, unglamorous work that most people don’t see. These 10 tips are built for athletes who are serious about closing the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Tip 1: Fix Your Grip Before Anything Else Everything starts here. A poor grip d

Competing in Wushu is not just about training hard. It is about knowing what you are being judged on and preparing for it with precision. Many athletes step onto the competition floor without a clear picture of how scores are calculated. They focus on speed, on power, on looking impressive. But judges are watching for something far more specific. When you know what they are looking for, your training changes. Your focus sharpens. Your results follow. This guide breaks down ex

Most Wushu practitioners know the feeling. You‘ve drilled your kicks hundreds of times. Your technique looks right. But the height isn‘t there. The snap feels weak. Something is missing between what your legs want to do and what your body delivers. More often than not, that missing link is a core strength. Not the kind you build doing endless crunches, but deep, functional stability that controls every phase of a kick. At RexArts Wushu, we train athletes to build that foundat

Good stances are the foundation of everything in Wushu. Before the kicks, before the forms, before any of the flashier techniques, there are stances. And for most beginners, that foundation is shaky from the start. That’s not a criticism. It’s just the reality of learning something new. The body doesn’t naturally fall into a deep horse stance or a precise bow stance. These positions have to be trained, corrected and trained again. At RexArts Wushu, we see the same mistakes sh

Watch a seasoned Wushu athlete take flight; a clean xuanzi, a jump clearing two metres of height and you are watching something that is equal parts science and discipline. Explosive power in Wushu jumps does not happen by accident. It is the product of specific physiological systems, deliberate training and an athlete who has learnt to trust the process even when progress feels invisible. This post breaks down the mechanics behind those jumps. What actually happens in the bod

Most people discover Wushu by accident. A friend’s recommendation. A video that stops the scroll. A child who comes home from a trial class and won’t stop talking about it. However it happens, the moment of discovery tends to stick because Wushu is genuinely unlike anything most people have tried before. Enrolment in Wushu classes has been growing steadily, and the range of people joining keeps widening. In the mix, there are children as young as five, working adults with no

Home practice can help habits take shape. What happens between classes may not look dramatic, but it plays a steady role in how students move, focus and respond during formal training. Some students arrive more settled. Others move with better control. These changes can sometimes come from what they do quietly, diligently at home. Practising Wushu outside the training hall is not about pushing limits or copying advanced techniques. It is about reinforcing fundamentals, buildi

For many parents in Singapore, choosing an after-school activity feels like a careful balancing act. It must support learning, fit into a busy routine, and help a child grow without adding pressure. Wushu often enters the conversation, then quietly exits again—sidelined by assumptions that feel familiar but rarely get questioned. These ideas tend to pass along casually. It can come from a comment from another parent. A memory from years ago. A quick glance at a video clip onl

The National Wushu Championships 2025, held from 22nd to 25th November at Woodlands Sports Hall, witnessed exceptional performances from RexArts Wushu athletes.

Zi Meng has spent 16 years in Wushu—long enough to know that the sport rewards neither complacency nor recklessness. A veteran competitor who has both stood on international podiums and spent time on the sidelines, he speaks candidly about the discipline required to train with purpose, manage injury, and return stronger. His perspective is less about glory and more about the often challenging but necessary work that sustains a long career. Can you start by introducing yoursel
