First off, we would like to thank the performers and congratulate them for such a successful performance. For those of you who watched the performance, you'll know that it was fantastic.
Particularly for the beginners, it was a great experience to see the seniors perform and to get an idea of what Wushu is like (and what you signed up for - we expect enthusiasm and/or pride rather than regret. Hem Hem). You would have noticed that the form you're learning at the moment, along with the warm up kicks and jumps, was in the performance. It may seem like a lot now, but with time, you'll become pros at these movements and the cycle of learning new movements begins again. The process is a little independent in a sense that you learn what you want to learn after you learn the basics. It all depends on you, your goals, interests, etc. But having said all that, it's all about the fun and experience you get from Wushu, both as a sport and a community.
For those of you who weren't able/didn't want to (I sure hope not...) watch the performance, fear not. We have recorded the performance and will upload it soon, hopefully within a week or two but it might take a while.
In the meantime, here's some pictures we know you'll love:

Once again, we thank the performers for such a wonderful performance. You can always count on us to look forward to your future performances.
Have a lovely Easter break! (pssst...there's training on the 22nd of April - Hint hint.)
