TEACHING
SPREADING WUSHU AND AMERICAN CULTURE TO KIDS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD
SPREADING THE SPIRIT AND ENERGY OF WUSHU THROUGH TEACHING
We're spreading the spirit, energy, and philosophical ideas of wushu through teaching. For this trip to Jiangxi, China, we taught two classes of about 45 students, teaching almost a total of 100 students. Our main objective was to not only promote wushu, but to also exchange cultures. We brought with us our knowledge of American culture including food, sports, and language, and they shared with us their culture. During this trip, we offered two classes everyday. In the morning, we talked about all the aspects of daily life in America and in the afternoon, we taught them different activities such as wushu and art. We taught them the basics of wushu including stances, punches, kicks, and a basic form. Both the students and our members benefited tremendously from this experience.

OUR TAKEAWAYS
CULTURAL EXCHANGE
ON THIS TRIP, OUR MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN THE STUDENT DORMS AT DEXING MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS COMBINED WITH THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH THE STUDENTS ALLOWED THEM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR CHINESE ROOTS.
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
OF WUSHU
THIS TRIP ALLOWED OUR MEMBERS TO LEAVE WITH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WUSHU BECAUSE WHILE TEACHING THE STUDENTS, THEY HAD TO RECALL CORRECTIONS THAT THEIR COACHES HAD GIVEN THEM. TEACHING THE STUDENTS ALSO ALLOWED OUR MEMBERS TO HAVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EACH OF THE MOVEMENTS ARE FOR AND WHY THEY ARE IMPORTANT.
EXPERIENCING WHAT IT'S LIKE TO MAKE AN IMPACT
WHILE INTERACTING AND TEACHING THE STUDENTS DURING THIS TRIP, OUR MEMBERS GOT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE MAKING AN IMPACT. WHETHER THAT WAS THROUGH PLAYING GAMES WITH THE KIDS, OR THROUGH TEACHING THEM NEW KNOWLEDGE, SEEING THEIR EYES LIGHT UP HAS HAD A LASTING IMPACT ON THE MEMBERS THAT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON THIS TRIP.
