CURRENT SCHOOL / EMPLOYER

I like watching movies of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Bruce Lee. I especially like Bruce Lee’s famous quote:” I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” It reminds me not to be complacent at all times!

EMILY SIN MIN LI

More than merely sets of “choreographed” movements, Wushu is an embodiment of self–cultivation, upholding of justice and some say, ultimate enlightenment. My enthusiasm grows each day as I learn to wield different weapons.

I must confess that in my childhood days, I had a wishful thinking that I could levitate like Chinese swordsmen in “wuxia” movies. As I grew up, I began to appreciate.

ABOUT ME


SEA GAMES EVENT(S)

My brother practised Wushu. Inspired by him, I started to take lessons and discovered I have an aptitude for it. It helps when you have a sparring partner, 24/7! I like to hang out in the park near my grandmother’s house because it’s relaxing.

ABOUT ME


I love martial arts. To me, it is simple beauty expressed in physical movements. I believe there are ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ in the forms, just like high and low tides of the sea, the sunrise and sunsets one see every day. My ideal day is Sunday, as I get to spend quality time with my family.

I like to grapple with my insecurities, and limitations from young. Wushu taught me to embrace, not reject them. I have emerged a stronger person as a result, in character and in physical ability.

From young, I watched martial arts movies. Yelps of joy (from me) were heard distance away when villains were defeated or killed, by martial arts exponents (of course). I suppose my role models back then were the protagonists in those movies!

ABOUT ME



Like most athletes, I enjoyed being able to execute cool moves I watched in the movies. Body coordination is of utmost importance in Wushu. I learn to listen to my body as I practise Taiji. The better you understand your own body, the more natural your moves… all these help in the final outcome.

LEE TZE YUAN

ABOUT ME



I loved watching action movies by Jackie Chan and Jet Li. To me, Wushu is part of the rich cultural heritage from China. After centuries of observing how animals fight in Nature, martial arts experts mimic the moves, learn from each other during duels, refining it into a sophisticated system one sees today.

Donnie Yen has been my role model. In fact, I can safely say that so far I have never missed a single movie in which Donnie was the leading actor! His lightning fast punches and rapid footwork motivates me to become a better Wushu practitioner myself.

ABOUT ME



I found the flips and jumps very cool after watching a movie when I was young. That’s how I got myself “en-trenched” in Wushu! It changed my perspective on life philosophically. I become a more disciplined, energetic person after years of practice.
