Martial Art Display 2008
This is probably the last event inconjunction with month long Kuching City Day celebration. The event, Martial Art Display 2008 was held at the MBKS Hockey Stadium. It was raining heavily earlier that day but fortunate it stopped raining during the event.
The event is supported by the large crowd of taichi members both young and old. Other participants includes the ITF Taekwondo, Wushu and Silat. All demonstrated their skills and action on the field. Then followed by individual and group demonstration.
Taekwondo as expectedly demonstrated their pattern movements and also breaking techniques. As a taekwondo member myself, I do find them rather “lembik” or in english - softy. Its easy to earn a blackbelt in ITF taekwondo. You can see a member as young as 12 years old having a blackbelt.
As for some photography comments, its quite challenging to shoot fast movements. I get to try out some ideas of mine. but didn’t work out as I expected. Could have been better if its daytime.
Anyway, for more photos.. read more.
