Wushu 武术

This is my specialised weapon, the cudgel. I'm definitely not a professional since i only learned it last year and has no talent. But i do know a little about it.

Wushu may be seen by many as very chinese. Oh well, no excuses it is. The basis is fist and it forms the foundation of wushu and every style that we do. Wushu has many weapons and even those that you won't believe. The common types are straight sword, broad sword, cudgel, spear. We also do fist styles such as the Long Fist and Southern Fist. Other types include Taiji sword, southern sword, southern cudgel, 9 section whip, fan, umbrella and even the stool!

The way to learn Wushu is to follow routines set by China. These routines include the 4th, 5th and international routines. Because of this fact, many says that Wushu is not very practical. But it sure is cool yeah?




So, the Annual Inter School Wushu Competition is starting from tomorrow onwards. Lets work hard and go through this together! Temasek Junior College Chinese Pugilistic Club!!
