KUCHING: Wushu Association of Sarawak (WAS) is basking in yet another glorious Sukma outing – this time in Terengganu from May 31 to June 9.

The team of 14 exponents emerged the overall champions with a glittering haul of eight gold, five silver and six bronze medals.

According to WAS, training for Sukma had been going on since January 1, 2007 under China coach Huang Shao Xiong.

The association noted that support from all quarters involved had contributed to the high achievements at the Games.

Ling Soong Hui took over as the Sukma team manager, replacing James Ting Ing Seek who had to relinquish the position after being appointed by Wushu Federation of Malaysia to the supervisory committee during the Games.

Apart from providing wushu training, the association will also offer adult TaijiQuan classes three days a week. Starting July, classes will be held at the Civic Centre here every Saturday and Sunday from 4.30pm to 5.30pm and on Tuesday at Tabuan Laru from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. For details, call 019-8781106.
