University of Macau’s Moon Chun Memorial College, Dom Pedro V House, held a kickboxing experiential course on April 10, 2024. The experiential course collaborated with the Macau Kickboxing Association, enabling MCMCers to experience the charm of kickboxing, improve their physical fitness, and cultivate perseverance.

At the beginning of the event, Coach Tam of the Kickboxing Association provided a detailed introduction to the students regarding the basic movements of kickboxing. He then led everyone in trying them out, which immediately deepened their understanding of the sport. In the subsequent session, students began experimenting with the basic movements of kickboxing under Coach Tam’s guidance. They threw punches and agilely dodged, with everyone fully engaged and enjoying the kickboxing experience. The coaches patiently and meticulously corrected the students’ movements to ensure they mastered the techniques correctly and avoided injuries.

The experiential course not only focused on skill transfer but also emphasized cultivating students’ teamwork abilities and willpower. The students were paired up and cooperated with each other, with one punching and the other dodging, demonstrating excellent team spirit and collaboration skills. Simultaneously, the high-intensity kickboxing training deeply instilled in the students the importance of perseverance and determination.

The success of this kickboxing experiential course not only allowed the students to appreciate the joy of kickboxing but also facilitated their growth and progress in sports.
