These techniques were taught step by step so that every participant could grasp the essence of each movement to apply during live endangering period. Following that, participants were given careful supervision on the technique execution by instructors. Apart from that, participants were also given chances to practice their punching and blocking techniques on the “holding target” to test their techniques’ power and momentum.

Part 3 – Mr Lim gave a detailed safety precaution section to all the participants so that they could avoid to become the victim of unpleasant incident, For example, precautions that participants should take while walking alone at the car park zone or lonely alley.

We brought them a electric rice cooker as they need. All the members also brought them the daily necessaries. There are 15 of them in the centre.

We found that it was very crowded. So they had a plan to build an addition of 2 classrooms, 11 bedrooms, 1 computer room, 1 recreational room,1 kitchen, 1 dining hall and 1 office cum teachers' room. The budget for the construction is RM 500,000.

They had finished their architecture drawings and being approved by local authority. But we were informed that they still lack of the amount. so until now the project still waiting for donation and sponsorship.

Being the visit to the centre, we had study their architecture drawings and also giving them some advise. We also tried to help them to serach for donation. We hope that this news could spread out, so that anyone may help them.

We walked in their centre, visiting their crowded bedrooms, kitchen, and study room. They also show us the things that they made. It's quite an interesting experience.
