🇵🇭 Wushu Arena Philippines Recognized by Mandaluyong LGU Following Hong Kong Victory and UST PRIME UAAP Silver Finish

 

Wushu Arena Philippines continues to expand its impact across competitive sport, performing arts, and community development, as it receives local government recognition following international and national achievements.

After a strong campaign at the 21st Hong Kong International Wushu Championships (March 2026), the team was formally received in a courtesy call by the Mandaluyong Sports Development Office and the Mandaluyong City Public Information Office.

🏆 International Stage: Hong Kong Wushu Championships 2026

The Philippine delegation delivered a standout performance, earning:

  • 🥇 24 Gold Medals
  • 🥈 3 Silver Medals
  • 🥉 3 Bronze Medals

This result reinforces the growing presence of Wushu in the Philippines, with athletes from diverse backgrounds competing and winning at the international level.

🤝 Local Recognition: Mandaluyong LGU Courtesy Call

The courtesy call signifies institutional recognition of the team’s achievements and contributions to sports development.

It highlights the role of martial arts in:

  • Youth and athlete development
  • SDG 3 Advocacy (Health and Well-Being)
  • Expanding access to structured training in the Philippines

This moment reflects the transition from grassroots training to recognized athletic excellence supported by local government.



🥈 UAAP Stage: UST PRIME Season 88 Silver Medal

Beyond competition, Wushu Arena Philippines also contributed to one of the Philippines’ biggest collegiate stages.





The team served as guest coaches and choreographic collaborators for UST PRIME, who secured 1st Runner-Up (Silver Medal) at the UAAP Season 88 Street Dance Competition.

Wushu elements—including Tai Chi, traditional weapons (staff and sword), and kung fu movement—were integrated into the award-winning piece “Spring Festival.”

This collaboration demonstrates how martial arts can extend beyond sport into:

  • Performance and choreography
  • Cultural storytelling
  • Interdisciplinary movement training

The organization’s work spans:

  • Competitive Wushu training
  • Movement education for all ages
  • Integration into performance and creative industries
  • Inclusive martial arts systems accessible to beginners and non-traditional athletes

🔥 From Competition to Collaboration

From winning gold medals in Hong Kong…
to contributing to a UAAP silver-winning performance…
to being recognized by local government—

Wushu Arena Philippines demonstrates a model where martial arts is not limited to competition, but becomes a platform for national representation, creative collaboration, and community impact.

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...
