Title excellence.







STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE


Jon came home with his wushu training report card in his hand,

he did not want to tell mum about his marks as he only had 29 points for wushu training class but he had no choice as his teacher told him to bring back the card tomorrow and it must be signed.So he told his parents about it . To his suprise,his parents did not scold him but told him a story about Jet Li the famous martial art star.

"Do you know who is Jet Li ? well let me tell you a story .


Li was born Li Lianjie in Beijing ,People's Republic of China.Li's father died when he was two, leaving the family to struggle on its own, with Li being the youngest of two boys and two girls.His ambition is to be a martial arts star.So when Li was eight, his talent for wushu was noticed at summer course at school and he began his practice there.He began his wushu at the Beijing wushu team,an athletic group organised to perform martial art forms during the all China games.As a member of the team, he received wushu training and had won 15 gold medals and 1 silver medal in the Chinese Wushu Championships. According to Li, once, as a child, when the Chinese National Wushu Team went to perform for President Richard Nixon in the United States, he was asked by Nixon to be his personal bodyguard. Li replied, "I don't want to protect any individual. When I grow up, I want to defend my one billion Chinese countrymen!" which earned him much respect in his homeland."

After listening to this story, he trained day and night like Jet Li . Who knows he had 90 points , he passed by flying colours.
