'Pesilat Ngee Ann Poly, Pesilat yang berani.'
- NP Silat Club Cheer
(Translation: A Ngee Ann Polytechnic Silat fighter is a brave athlete.)
UNLEASHING THE ATHLETE IN ME.
I have always had an eye for the Martial Arts and am eternally grateful that I made the right decision to sign up for NP Silat in my first year as a Polytechnic student. I have met many inspirational athletes and a family that cannot be replaced. The team spirit is always strong in NP Silat as we help each other grow to be stronger and more passionate Pesilats. From an ametuer in Year 1, I have since been blessed with the knowledge and fighting techniques that have served me well in performances and training sessions.
SHOWCASES
NOVA AVENTURA, November 2019.
This pilot production of a joint team of NP CCAs marks my first Seni performance as a Pesilat. Here I am seen with my peers after successfully executing a Silat performance alongside NP Taiko Club, Baracuda (Instrumental Club) and B-Boys Club. This event, Nova Aventura, was open to the public and my families and peers have come down to support my growth as a Pesilat. Tune in to the video below to watch the full performance!

Chengsan Community Club Hari Raya Performance cum Interview, June 2020.
I represented my club in a duo Seni performance recorded by the Chengsan Community Club committee in commemoration of Hari Raya 2020. It was the first time performing a duo showcase and curating an original piece with the various Seni techniques and movements I have learnt throughout my 2 and 1/2 years in NP Silat. It was definitely a worthwhile and once-in-a-lifetime experience as we worked extremely hard in producing and memorising a 2 minute performance in less one week!
TRAININGS
Weekends Club Regional Training at Simei
Here, I am engaged in physical training led by the 2 club captains. To build my stamina and become a stronger Pesilat, I braced myself in this 'Tug & Run' partner exercise.
