Spartan Wushu at the 16th Annual Collegiate Wushu Tournament!

This last Saturday, a couple members of the Spartan Wushu Club traveled to Charlottesville Virginia to participate in the 16th Annual Collegiate Wushu Tournament.  Over 19 different University Wushu Club’s attended this event.  Our competing members, Alex Pham, Eric Chang, Yang Zhang, and Kevan Hom managed to bring back a total of 4 Gold and 4 Silver medals for the Spartan Wushu club and SJSU!

UVA ran one of the most organized tournaments that we have ever attended and we greatly appreciate their time and effort into making the competition possible for all competitors and spectators.  It was truly an event that not only showcased a lot of great talent, but it also brought wushu clubs together to help strengthen the small Wushu community in the U.S.

Be sure to check out all the great photos documenting our trip in our Pictures section as well as videos of our competitors in the competition video section as well!!!

Spartan Wushu Figure Drawing Fundraiser with the SHM Club

This past Friday, the Spartan Wushu Club had the greatest opportunity to organize a figure drawing session with SJSU’s Shrunkenheadman Club (animation/illustration club). Over 50 animation/illustration students showed up to draw our wushu poses. We were thrilled with the turnout that day!

We would like to thank the Shrunkenheadman Club for their enthusiasm and support and we hope to organize another one in the future.  And lastly we would also like to send out a special thanks to our friends Cao Yue and Yang Yang for helping us out with the posing.  We would not have made the event successful without their help! :)

More photos can be found in our “Pictures” section!
