Goodbye Coach Zhang, Gdbye 2008...

It's the last day of 2008! 31 Dec 08, approximately 7 more hours, and we will say Goodbye to 2008!

This morning, together with the team of coaches from eliteWushu and some other former and current National Team athletes, we were at the airport to send Coach Zhang off. After serving our N.Team for ard 5yrs (I think?) and leading our Olympic Team to Beijing, he has decided to return to China to pursue his career. A great coach and a Mr. Nice Guy, no doubt. Coach Zhang gave us lots of guidance in many diff areas. We, at eliteWushu wishes him all the best in China!

Suddenly have an urge to do a simple review of 2008 after an early morning and a whole day of planning, phone calls etc... Looking back, eliteWushu has 'grew' in many aspect. Let me list down whatever I can think off...

Coaches:
We had 3 coaches coming onboard in 2008, bringing with them more than 15yrs off coaching experience in total. They are Senior Coach Mr. Quek C H, Coach Wang Jun, Coach Lawrence. On top of them, we also have a few assistant coaches who assisted in our trainings in one way or another.

Endorsements:
- We achieved the 3 targets set for 2008 in the area of endorsements. SEP, PA and SSC.
- All the schools which have engaged us since we 1st started are still engaging our services. This showed that we have been performing up to, if not above the expectation of our clients.
- We had an increment of 80% in terms of client base with MOE schools

Programmes:
- School: Our programmes in 2008 has benefited more than 3,000 students from more than 17 schools
- Others: our branches have also showed a 40% growth in enrolment.

Achievements:
- 90.1% of the schools which we coach competitive wushu in, has at least 2 students who achieved a top 4 position in the National Schools competition this yr.
- Under the guidance of our experience coaches, we also have a handful of Medalist in this yr's National Competition.

Staff Upgrade:
- 80% of our staff have upgraded themselves this yr, showing a development and upholding of professionalism in our fields. We have 3 certified International Coaches, 1 Grade 'A' International Judge, 1 NCAP 3 and 2 NCAP 2 coaches.
- Mr. Loe also had a renewal in his contract with the S'pore Sports Sch for the 3rd consecutive year

Other Events:
- Wushu Matrix: We held our 1st holiday camp successfully with 'WushuCafe' and 'CNIS', with the support from SSC and S'pore pools.
- Overseas Immersion Programme: As per target, we led a team of students to China for an annual upgrading programme.

To sum up, 2008 has been a tiring but exciting and fulfilling year! Most of the target set were achieved!
We, at eliteWushu would like to thank all students, parents and schools for their continual support and we wish everyone a Happy New Year and a Great 2009!

Hey.. sorry for all the empty post for the past few weeks... Had been really bz! Nv felt so bz in the mth of Nov and Dec before!

Anyway, just some updates..
27 Nov-4Dec: Was away on a wushu training trip to Hangzhou
Great trip.. everything was great! Really happy to see the kids improved alot over the 5 days of training. (Our kids were honoured to train under a Asia Champion and a World Champion!)

Finally, I finished editing the video for Wushu Matrix! Think it took me more than 10 hrs in total to edit it! Amazing...

Ok.. I gtg.. still have lots of outstanding work to rush before I have to start planning for my X-mas Party.

Cheers.. Merry X-mas!

On Air! Capital 95.8FM

Coach Zhou and Principal Shi from Chinese International School were feature on Capital 95.8FM at 10.15pm on 25 Nov08. Not sure how many of you were listening to the interview on 'Wushu Matrix 2008'. Coach Eugene and I were listening attentively to the 30min broadcast throughout...

Mid Autumn Celebration Photos

Here are the long awaited pictures for Mid Autumn Celebration last wk!

Busy Week. Teachers' Day Lunch!

It's 3.05pm. Time for some updates while I take a break from all the planning and proposals... It's been a busy month so far especially with all the new programmes in various schools.

New programme in Beacon Pri and the new Focus Training @ Hougang last mth. Then came ACES day programme before teachers' day (I thought I could take a break on Teachers' day eve!)

Had a Teachers' Day lunch at 'Peony Jade Restaurant’ in Clark Quay with all the coaches. It was a wonderful gathering given the fact that everyone are always at different schools and training locations and we hardly get to catch up unless on specially occasions. We had an amazing long lunch (12.oo-3pm)! And the most amazing thing was... We were too engrossed with our food and 'chit chat' till we forgot to take a single photo!! OMG.. Wen Xin brought her new Camera but didn’t get to showcase it!! Must remember to take more photos next Time.

The Sep Holiday was no holiday for us! Schools requested for intensive trainings which was somehow good for the kids, and it was nice to see the kids back smiling for training despite having to wake up early. And I must share this training I had with one of the schools in town. The teachers in charge initiated on a warm up run for the kids ard Clark Quay! Yes!! Morning run at 9am in Clark Quay. Coach Wen Xin and I joined in the run.. or rather walk in our case.. haha. It's really nice to do a morning 'walk' along the S'pore river. The kids were shouting cheers and jogging as a grp. We caught the eyes of many tourists along the way! I didn’t know that tourist do visit clark quay in the day too! haha...

After the Sep Holidays, I had to pilot a few more new sch teams and programmes in PEPS and NUS High Sch etc. The lots from NUS High Sch are really great! They showed really positive attitude towards learning and are all pretty fast learners. Looking forward to seeing them soon.

Ok.. that's all I have for now. Got to get back to work. Have a big project coming up. Still trying to finalised all the fine details for the new setup in Bugis somewhere in Oct/Nov. Will update again here.

Mid Autumn Celebration

Here the 1st entry of eliteWushu’s Blog!

We celebrated Mid Autumn Festival 2 days in advance at our Compassvale Southgate RC branch today or rather just now… (coz already passed 12 midnite.)

Time flies… It seems like only yesterday when we celebrated this day last yr! Last year when we celebrated this festival, there was only about 20+ students and 3 coaches. This year, we had approximately 40+ students and 6 coaches! Seems like an indication that we have had a great progression over the last one yr!

As usual, lantern and sparkers burning fast while mooncakes lied untouched on the table! We are so glad that the kids enjoyed themselves with the mini celebration. Too bad it only lasted till 10pm as the Town Council has to off the lights. Rest assure next year we will have more time to have fun when we move into our new Training HQ in Bugis!!

Stay tune for more pictures on our celebration. (Mr. Chng.. Pls send me the pic asap k!)
Also stay tune for more updates on our new Training HQ in Bugis! Excited? Haha.. I am, after working so hard on this project for the past 1 yr… Meanwhile, have a gd wkend ahead. 

eliteWushu Blog will be Launch Soon...
