I think Cbk dd is in rgs.
Cbk dd in rgs too? Sounds like senior student?Cbk:
yes, that is my understanding. 2 years ago classes seem to be by dsa domain, mix with gep girls and psle high scorers. But this is no longer the case this year.
The P often talked about how sensitive girls are and do not want any girls to feel ‘I am not in the top classes, therefore I am not as smart.’ (she said used to hear some girls saying that) Glad she is walking the talk and leading the ‘top’ schools in doing away with the streaming.
Awesome!! :rahrah: I like the way he/she describes the school P. :rahrah: -

Upside is external training is usually of better quality. Just generalizing ok. I have no idea each school each sport/club quality. But my DS school-based CCAs mostly CMI play play only (unless those niche CCA can afford to hire top coaches).zac's mum:
I thought most schools will “recognize”/count an external sports/club CCA if the child is undergoing training 3 or 4 times a week. Please check with the school.
Yes de, downside is need to pay and training not in school. -

But dd got offered only ncc and girl guide, then eventually chose ncc. Aiya suan le, take it as a life skill course and move on.peasants:

Actually can use hands, in international competition hand block and punching is used quite a lot.

STF follows the WTF rules so punching can only score if it hits a certain area on the hogu( on the chest ), not like ITF can hit the face.
If accidentally hit the head or face is DQ, so quite risky for kids to punch as their control and accuracy is not there yet. -

Plus, leg is always longer than hand. More likely to land a kick before you get close enough to land a punch.

Using hands to defend is a must. It will help you set up a combo-attack. -
Wow, wish you all could see one of the local matches. I go dig the video out.
