From observation of a kids’ wushu session, personally feel that tone of the training sessions is set by the instructor. As it involves some form of stretching and using of 棍，刀，the instructor should be strict in enforcing no-nonsense to ensure the younger kids learn the correct way n no injuries.

My DS has tried aikido before wushu n I think there were more fun elements in the previous one, probably because aikido is not so injury prone.
From observing the sessions, have seen some older kids who are serious n does all strokes properly. Others who just go through the motion n seems to have no heart in the lessons just look clumsy n I guessed they are there as sent on parents’ will.

Wa, you're ninjago, no wonder you prefer aikido!

I also think instructors are really important - and this applies to every discipline - TKD, ballet, etc.

Am keen to send both of my kids for Wushu (school doesn't offer CCA), and would like to find out from parents on what \"benefits\" you've witnessed in your children after they've picked up the sport. (any parents can answer)

Same question I'd like to find out.

My gals are in the school wushu team. They learn ballet as well. In wushu they do a lot of strength and endurance training to beef up the leg muscles and improve agility and flexibility, kind of complements what they need to do for ballet. I would say training is quite siong cos it could come up to 3x a week 4 hrs each time. My gals enjoy wushu better than ballet (I wonder why). But I am beginning to think that siong CCAs tend to affect academic performance directly. Would like to hear more views on this thanks
