where in sg?

What types of martial arts are currently being taught in CCs all over Singapore? And are they any good? Some of my friends are all "Che, cheapskate course." and others insist that they're not too bad. I'm interested in signing up in a class so please do help me out with whatever courses are still accepting enrolments.
Or, if there is any "official school" for these classes besides CCs, I'd like some info on them too
Thank you! -
your friends in the first place even do any martial arts or not.OR are they those self proclaimed martial artist/fighter but stances and technique sucks?
-
its true that some ppl taught in CC are not really qualified. What i mean is that they know the routines but not the application. Not knowing the application will mean that their routine will not be especially refine.
Here are 2 websites i reccomand that u go take a look.

Check with CC staff to get more information.

I'm particularly interested in aikido, but there are so many different websites (ueshiba, kiaikido etc etc) and I can't see the difference between any of the styles right now >.> and a bit expensive. Is $95 per three months worth it though? I was thinking it's pretty okay, but my brother is all "WAH DAMN EXPENSIVE WAH WANNA DIE IS IT." and there's the gi etc etc.Originally posted by NewAge:oh yah what do u wanna learn? Karate? Hapkido?

I know nuts about aikido so cant help u there haha. PM this guy Shigemichi Take. He is one of the moderator around here.
U know there are usually trial lessons available. So seat in for the first lesson to know more about the art but most importantly take note of the way the lessons are taught and see whether u like it or not. If u dont like the environment u will not stay long anyway?
How old are u anyway? Financially stable? U know private tai ji lesson by a good teacher can cost up to $50 per hr. However if u are learning from CC i think its 95 per 3 month and not per month. -
Most common martial arts courses in CC are Wushu, Chen/Yang style Taijiquan and TKD.
But I can tell you for Wushu, the skills learnt are useless, except of the stances. That's only if you practised them.
For TKD, unsure. Never joined a class.
If you want those rare martial arts... then you have to search around Singapore. NewAge has a compiled list, of which he has given link. -

If your foundation for stances are strong, they will find it hard to topple you over. That's the main aim of fight, once you fall and don't recover in time, you will be dead.Originally posted by NoRiceBoys:So why are wushu stances useful in a fight?
At least if you remain standing, you could easily move your leg forward or backward and prepare to run when things go wrong or when you know you can't continue the fight. -
well i dunno what stance mayi referring to? House stance? Mei Hua bu fa? The crane one? Like what mayi say all stance make yr leg stronger so that u are hard to topple. Well one of the worst thing that can happen in a street fight is u falling.Originally posted by NoRiceBoys:So why are wushu stances useful in a fight? -

I'm currently training with Ueshiba Aikido under George Chang Sensei though occassionaly i'll train with Shinjukai's Philip Sensei.
Fees charged is $78.75 per 3 months, while Gi cost $50 for normal ones and $75 for thick ones.
Anyway, the different between Ki- aikido and traditional schools is that Ki- aikido teach Aikido with strong emphasis on the concepts of Ki.
All current Traditional School also have emphasis on Ki application but less than Ki Schools. One other difference is the Ki Schools have a balance training weightage on Ki and Self Defence while the Traditional School have a higher training weightage on Self Defence than Ki.
And they are not affiliated with the Hombu Dojo.
Any further queries, you can PM me. -
Mayi, plse be sensitive towards other martial arts. No martial artists should look down on other martial arts.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Most common martial arts courses in CC are Wushu, Chen/Yang style Taijiquan and TKD.

There is no place in Aikido for pettiness and selfish thoughts. Rather than being captivated by notions of "winning or losing," seek the true nature of things. Your thoughts should reflect he grandeur of the universe, realm beyond life and death. If your thoughts are antagonistic towards the cosmos, those thoughts will destroy you and wreak havoc on the environment. -

I never looked down on other martial arts. I was saying about Wushu... their stances. I'm trained in Wushu and Xingyi, so what I'm saying is from my experience. Wushu styles are fancy, but does no good without practice. Same for Xingyi. It's deceptively simple, but until one has trained in it, one would then realize how hard it is.
Not to say that Wushu is bad, I'm a student of the art, it makes no sense to degrade my own art, but rather, points out the weakness in their system.
I have not talked about Aikido, I know nothing about it, so not in a position to comment. Neither do I comment about TKD, as I'm not trained in it. -
Not exactly. It actually depends on you yourself.Originally posted by chanjyj:the stance gives you the balance but impedes mobility.
If you are flexible (not in terms of movement, but the mind), it actually helps in mobility.
Having learn Xingyi for quite a while, one thing I learnt there is flexibility. Their stances are dead, but humans are alive. One main stance in Xingyi is called san ti, and one can move their leg forward or backward or in other ways so that it doesn't impede mobility.
Same for Wushu. The horse stance is great, but shift a little weight to your left or right leg, and it will be another stance. Move your leg a little forward or backward, it's another stance.
Never let stances restrict you.
