Wushu Arena Philippines Joins MCS--- A Global Movement Aligned with United Nations SDGs, Strengthens Martial Arts Advocacy in Quezon City

 


A Quezon City–based martial arts organization is taking a significant step forward in promoting inclusive movement and wellness, as Wushu Arena Philippines officially joins a global coalition aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its inclusion in the Martial Arts Community System (MCS).

This milestone positions Wushu Arena Philippines as part of an international network of martial arts organizations committed not only to athletic excellence, but also to community development, accessibility, and lifelong wellness through movement.

🌍 Elevating Martial Arts Beyond Competition

Led by Head Coach Arra Jeuneze Corpuz, Wushu Arena Philippines has steadily built a reputation for producing competitive athletes while also expanding access to martial arts training for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

The team recently represented the Philippines at the Hong Kong International Wushu Championships, earning multiple medals across Taijiquan (Taichi), traditional routines, and weapon categories. They also delivered strong performances at the Emei Cup International Wushu Championships in Chengdu, China.

However, beyond medals and international competition, the organization continues to advocate for a broader mission:

👉 Making martial arts accessible, inclusive, and relevant to everyday life.

🌿 Martial Arts for All Ages and Backgrounds

Wushu Arena Philippines offers structured programs in:

• Traditional Wushu (Kung Fu)
• Taichi for wellness and longevity
• Japanese Aikido (self-defense and discipline)
• Ballet-based movement training for posture and flexibility

These programs are designed not only for competitive athletes, but also for:

✔ Beginners and first-timers
✔ Adults seeking fitness and stress relief
✔ Seniors focusing on balance and mobility
✔ Children developing discipline and coordination

This inclusive approach aligns closely with the global objectives of the United Nations SDGs, particularly in promoting health, well-being, and community development.

🧭 Building a Movement, Not Just a Team

With its inclusion in MCS, Wushu Arena Philippines strengthens its position as more than just a competitive martial arts team.

It is now part of a growing international effort to redefine martial arts as a tool for:

• Holistic wellness
• Personal development
• Cultural appreciation
• Community engagement

“Our goal is to help more people discover that martial arts can be practiced for many reasons — not just competition, but also for health, discipline, and lifelong growth,” Corpuz shared.

📍 Expanding Programs in Quezon City

Wushu Arena Philippines continues to offer classes and programs across multiple locations in Quezon City, including:

• Fisher Mall Quezon City
• NERV Dance Studio (Panay Avenue)
• Partner venues and community spaces like the Clubhouse at Acropolis Loyola

Programs are open to all levels, with both group classes and private sessions available.

What’s Wrong With ADHD If It’s a Superpower? Everything. Also Nothing.

Image
Everyone talks about ADHD as a superpower. Nobody talks about waiting hours in summer heat because you can’t plug in your own aircon. Here’s both sides — unfiltered, from someone living it at 4am. Normally, I work around 200–250 hours a month — and when I accidentally overbook myself, that number can climb to 300–400 hours. Mondays to Sundays. Holidays included. I rarely take days off. Why? Because days off make me sick. Literally. Last year, I had a full week off during Christmas season. I spent almost the entire month of January with a fever. Another time, all my students cancelled for the day. I suddenly had nothing to do. The next day, I got the flu. It sounds dramatic, but it has been a pattern for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we thought I was just a sickly child because I was absent from school almost every week. Looking back, my doctors and I eventually realized that long periods of inactivity seem to affect me far more than most people. Whether it is my ADHD, th...

Movement is FOR EVERY BODY - Coach Arra Corpuz

Movement Is for Every Body | Coach Arra Jeuneze Corpuz Movement Is for Every Body A personal essay on advocacy, coming back, and why I open my dojo to everyone — by Coach Arra Jeuneze Corpuz I want to tell you something I don't say often enough: I am differently abled. I have ADHD, anxiety, arrhythmia, and dyslexia. My six-year-old daughter has a better sense of direction than I do. And yet, movement has been the one constant that has held me together. I believe movement is for every body. Not just the agile. Not just the young. Not just the competitive. Every. Body. And I don't say that from a podium of perfect health and easy circumstances. I say it from the other side of the hardest years of my life. When I Threw Everything Away When the pandemic hit, I thought I was done with martial arts forever. I had been a Wushu competitor and Aikido black belt for years — but the lockdowns, the isolation, the grief, and the stil...
