• Sunday: “Regular” practice: Even time spent on barehand basics and forms
• Monday: Focusing more on forms with at least one whole form per practice, barehand basics
• Wednesday: Weapons basics for those past basic changquan, focus on basics and short combinations this practice
• Friday: Weapons basics for those past basic changquan, focus on weapons forms for those with weapons

1. Fall Semester: Fall Competition
   This period is focused on the University Wushu Games competition at Maryland and preparing for this competition.
2. Winter-Spring Semester: Pre-Collegiates – Spring Competition
   The goal of this period is to train for the National Wushu Collegiates.
3. Spring Semester: Post-Collegiates – Demo Season
   This period is similar to training for a competition (meaning this training is still intense) but we are also preparing for all of our demos. We have a number of demos, including APA1, TASA, Cultural Explosion, and the major one: our own TerpWushu End of Year Demo. This will be our own event, and every member will be a part of this. 
4. Summer Semester: Summer Competition
   Another competition period; we will prepare to enter a summer competition. Some options for the competition include the Capital Classics Wushu division, the USAWKF Nationals, and the Koushu Tournament in Baltimore. 

• Quarter 1: Focus on basics and learning forms. Mostly train 1-2 sections
• Quarter 2: Progress toward focusing more on forms, and increasing the intensity, duration, and volume of forms practice. This means go from practicing mostly 1-2 sections toward doing whole forms many times at a high intensity.
• Quarter 3: Highest intensity but lower volume. For examaple, do very intense and powerful sections and whole forms but don’t do too many forms/over-train.  At this time find “peak performance”, or the conditions that bring about your best performance (how many days of rest, what kind of foods, how much practice, etc.) This period is right before competition (about 2 weeks) and should include a lot of rest (not practicing everyday). 
• Quarter 4: Decrease intensity, focus on correcting mistakes made during competition, thinking about competition experience, and start to learn new things.
  
  
• Summary: Learning/basics/slowly increasing intensity -> high intensity and high volume-> high intensity and low volume-> lower intensity/learning

These are just general guidelines; they will vary depending on the individual (whether the person is competing, just starting at the club, injured, etc.) and time of year (close to a competition, long before a competition, after a competition, before a demo, etc.) Also, they only specify points of focus; it doesn’t mean we should neglect other aspects of our training.  For example, focusing more on forms right before a competition doesn’t mean not doing basics.  Again, this is only meant to be a loose guide and coaches should follow their own best judgment.
