Testimonials

Here are some testimonials for this training camp. Keean has shared his opinion:

Tfw you appear on the thumbnail with coach ??‍♂️? tried to summarize my experience  if you’re keen to read below.

Seriously though, it has been one of the best parts of my table tennis journey so far has been there twice this year and last. If you’re not sure how legit this is, just go with an open mind. A lot of my friends and even coaches were skeptical about a “Free” training program in China, most never heard of such a thing.

But believe me, it was an eye-opening experience, from the intensive training with international friends of the same passion and sparring with the high-level players there, to watching rising stars like Miwa Harimoto and Matsushima Sora competition was definitely unforgettable.

I wouldn’t recommend this camp for those looking for 100% training sessions, as it is a well-rounded cultural exchange as well. They organized a few day tours into the city as well as some other interesting attractions. The change of pace once in a while to rest and recover while seeing a metropolitan city to explore its cuisine, sights was definitely more than welcome. Some days in a week would also include lessons for introduction to Mandarin, or the Technical Aspects of Table Tennis (real in-depth math oof).

All in all it was a great trip ? Trust me when I say that deep down you wouldn’t want to leave on the last day, having to part and say goodbye with newfound friends ? Shoutout to all my international buds from both 2018 & 2019 Summer Camp, and Ms Xu & volunteers, thanks for the mmrs ? ps: Feel free to ask if you’ve any questions and I’ll try to answer if possible !! 🙂
