Wei Ying Wushu has been involved school wushu training programmes since 2000. Coach Tan Sock Ching has been tireless in her efforts to promote wushu to students in both primary and secondary schools.
Singapore Sports Council has accredited Wei Ying Wushu Performance Troupe as a vendor in the Sports Education Programme (SEP). Schools can now engage Wei Ying Wushu to conduct enrichment classes for their students under this SEP scheme. We offer classes of various duration and will tailor to students of various abilities and training.

Details of our programmes can be found there.Alternatively, please contact Coach Tan to make an appointment or request more details about our classes.
Besides competitions, Wei Ying Wushu is also an active member in the performance scene and has taken part in many performances for both public and private functions.
Some of these public performances include Joint-School Wushu Performances, and Martial Arts nights. The troupe even participated in major events such as the opening of the Esplanade (2002).
Our list of private performances include performing for Microsoft New Year Lunch (2003) and Chinese New Year/ Mid Autumn festivals and other performances for private companies and events. Performances at shopping centres during Chinese New Year is also welcome.
For the betterment of its ardent members, Wei Ying Wushu Performance Troupe has also organised several well-received training trips to various countries from time to time. Besides giving students a chance to improve their skills in wushu, the trips provide them with invaluable experience and exposes them to the cultural aspect of China.
Alternatively, Coach Tan will invite instructors from China to Singapore to teach instead. These exchanges provide both parties with many learning opportunities and promotes the interest of wushu in our members.
20 of our trainees went on an exchange programme in November 2008. An 8 day trip, this trip included visits to several primary and secondary schools in Taichung.
Wei Ying Wushu Performance Troupe organises training trips to various provinces in China almost every year. Targeting primary and secondary school students, these trips are held during school holidays. Trainees will undergo full-time training with dedicated instructors for approximately 8 days. These enable trainees to quickly boost their potential in wushu, and learn advanced techniques. A few performances and cultural exchanges are also included in the itinerary. Through these treips, we hope that trainees will become more motivated, confident, and committed in learning wushu. Please contact us if you are interested to know more details.
Other than overseas training trips, training camps have also been organised for intensive training. The camps allow students to progress not only in their wushu skills, but also to spur on their interest and provide a platform for social bonding. Training camps are also organised to introduce wushu to the young. These 'introductory' training camps provide excellent exposure to those who have no prior experience or knowledge in Chinese martial arts.
