TRAINING!



So how's the REAL training like everyday?

GIRLS:
















For the girls, they train with the provincial 12-13 yr old squad. Coached by Ex-China National Champion Coach Tang and Coach Sun, the girls really had a fruitful (and tough) training with the China players. For every training, each of our girls are paired to spar with the local players, providing them with quality coaching and sparring. ONE-TO-ONE COACHING! WHERE TO FIND??!?!! The girls really enjoyed the training, as they asked for more training and extension of training days. They were also very quick to make friends with the local girls, playing, visiting their hostel and accompanying them during their lessons and self-study sessions. This is true-blue-original immersion!

BOYS







The boys train under Coach Tang, Ex-China National Champion. Their sparring partners are all national under-14 and under-12 top players, in other words, potential world champions! They also do one-to-one sparring, provided performance feedback, and help to correct the strokes of our players. It was truly a wonderful sight. Everyone was training very seriously, and they asked for more time to train with the China players. After training, the players will always voice out what they had learnt, and were always very excited about the next session.

Hey Jyoji,

Thanks for the updates. Would you mind posting pictures of them training, their rooms and their R&R activities so that the parents can have a better idea of how/what the kids are doing? Thanks!!

Wow! What an enriching experience... The pupils must be very inspired. We could adopt some good practices too. Teachers, thank you for ensuring that all the pupils' needs and safety are taken care of. You take care too:-)

We luv these new pictures. Thanks for the updates. Great to see how they trained, their short walks from the hotel to the training hall, etc.

Gave us a "so far yet so near" kind of feel.

Yes, like what Rachel said, would appreciate more pictures of their R&R and rooms as well.

Thanks.
