Wushu Sanda coaches from Labuan complete national-level course
KOTA KINABALU: In a significant stride towards excellence, Wushu Sanda coaches from Federal Territory Labuan successfully completed the Sport Specific Level One Course in Ipoh, Perak recently.
Forty-nine participants were involved in the national-level course designed to enhance technical proficiency and strategic understanding thus providing the participants with a comprehensive platform to refine their skills.
The dedicated Labuan contingent comprising Tan Chee Haw and Kamarul Iqhwan Asiran, approached the course with determination and enthusiasm.
“We are proud to have represented Labuan in this course.
“The knowledge gained and the skills refined during these four days will undoubtedly contribute to our growth,” expressed Chee Haw in a statement yesterday.
Kamarul said that the biggest challenge for him during the certification course was the language barrier as majority of the participants were Chinese and the facilitators used Mandarin as the main language of instruction in the classes.
“I was lucky to have Chee Haw around as he was the one who translated everything for my better understanding. This definitely helps in getting myself certified,” he said.
After the certification, both Chee Haw and Kamarul qualify to conduct classes for Wushu Sanda to produce more athletes in Labuan.
“Our plan for now is to train more students and prepare for the National Junior Wushu Championship KPM-WFM 2024 this coming May where the association intends to send eight exponents,” added Kamarul.
Labuan Wushu Association expressed its hope that the government will continue to support the association in its development programme planned for Wushu in Labuan.
