Shantastic!

Hi guys! Today's post is something that I have been holding on to but never really got round to posting, so I may as well share this today. This is about one of our members that we all know as Shan. Just some extra information on him, he received a diploma for Nanquan, Nan Gun, Nan Dao styles from Shanghai Qing Pu Wushu College in Shanghai. He was also a Wushu instructor from 2003 to 2011 and was a judge in a couple of tournaments.

Last year, we attended the 14th WTPA Wushu & Taiji Competition and the turnout was pretty good. A large number of us took part in it and some managed to do exceptionally well, one of those guys is Shan. Having won quite a few medals, his story was picked up by a number of Sri Lankan newspapers.

In addition to the awesome exposure, he also wrote a good article on Shaolin Kung Fu and is of course well worth a read.

There isn't much else to be said in today's blog, so I'll just leave it at that. I wasn't there to watch the latter half of the competition, but from seeing how he trained in the months leading up to the competition, I'm sure the medals and recognition was well deserved. Good Job, Shan.
