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. Our students secured 20 gold medals , 4 silver medals , and 7 bronze medals across individual and team events, demonstrating the strength of their training and commitment to excellence. Claudia Ng Sets the Standard Claudia Ng delivered the most outstanding individual performance of the championship, claiming four gol

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

The 10th World Junior Wushu Championships is currently underway in Tianjin, China, bringing together top young athletes from around the world, and Team Singapore is right in the heart of the action . Flying the Singapore flag high, our athletes are showcasing their skill, discipline, and fighting spirit on the international stage. Among them are Caleb and Claudia , proudly representing Singapore alongside their teammates. This competition is more than just medals, it’s about

Wushu carries memory through motion. Each stance, turn and pause reflects ideas shaped long before modern classrooms existed. It developed as a shared practice, passed through families, communities and teach ers who viewed training as both skill and responsibility. Unlike static cultural symbols, Wushu requires participation. It must be practised to survive. This is where its value lies. Students do not simply learn about history. They move within it. Training becomes a quiet

After school, it looks different from family to family. For some children, it is loud and restless. For others, it is quiet but wired, the kind of tired that does not settle easily. Parents often see it in small ways. Shorter tempers. Wandering attention. A child who says they are bored five minutes after getting home. Choosing an after-school activity used to be about keeping children busy. Now it feels more like a decision about balance. Martial arts is increasingly being c

Organising a CNY celebration or grand opening and want something beyond the usual? You’ll be pleased to know that stunning cultural performances work in practically any venue. From the breathtaking illusion of mask-changing to prosperity-bringing lion dances and powerful drum ensembles, these performance styles can elevate any space you’re working with. Whether it’s a corporate function, community celebration or hotel event, the adaptable acts here deliver a series of unforge

Chinese New Year has never been only about the calendar turning. It is about continuity. Beyond the surface of the celebration, families return to familiar spaces, stories are repeated, and customs are carried forward, often without much explanation. Somewhere between reunion dinners and festive greetings, cultural performances quietly take on an important role. They slow things down. They remind people that this celebration has depth, history, and meaning shaped long before

School Chinese New Year celebrations play an important role in shaping how children experience tradition. They mark the start of the year, bring the school community together, and give students a chance to learn through shared moments rather than textbooks. Yet planning a programme that works for a full hall of children is not simple. Attention spans vary. Energy levels rise and fall. What excites a preschooler may not hold the interest of an upper primary student. The perfor

In Singapore, there are clear competition stages for Wushu. From school-level events to national championships and beyond, athletes move forward as they grow in skill and experience. Understanding these steps makes it possible to plan training and set goals. Knowing age groups, divisions, and the bodies that run these competitions helps too. At RexArts Wushu, we coach our students to meet these milestones, with character and technique in equal measure. School-Level Competitio

At RexArts Wushu, we’ve spent years watching students grow. Some come in shy, others restless, a few unsure of what to expect. Within weeks, something begins to change. The noise in their movements fades, and focus replaces hesitation. What they discover isn’t just a martial art, but a whole rhythm that strengthens both body and character. Our goal has always been bigger than medals. We want every student to leave the floor standing a little straighter, thinking a little clea

If you’ve ever seen Bian Lian, you’ll remember that first gasp from the crowd. One blink, and the performer’s face is no longer the same. Red turns to blue, calm becomes fury, and joy fades into something mysterious. It’s over in seconds, but it leaves you wondering how something can be so fast and feel so profound. This is face-changing opera, a tradition born in Sichuan, and it’s one of China’s most mesmerising cultural expressions. To most of us, it feels like an illusion.

Congratulations to Ong Zi Meng on his performance at the 33rd SEA Games! He wrapped up 2025 by finishing 5th overall among Southeast Asia’s top Wushu athletes with a combined score of 29.133. Competing on a major international stage, Zi Meng stepped up with focus and determination, giving his best in every routine and proving his ability at the highest level. Zi Meng opened the competition strongly in Changquan, scoring 9.753 to place third, before following up with another s

Finding a Wushu coach in Singapore can feel like searching for that one teacher who just clicks. And that’s not easy. The right coach doesn’t just teach forms, they should also help you or your child build confidence, discipline, and joy in movement. At RexArts Wushu, we believe Wushu training goes far beyond learning to fight or perform. It’s about growing as a person. That’s why choosing a good coach matters so much. A trial Wushu lesson in Singapore is the best way to see
