From new activities to try out on a weekend with friends, or unique ways of getting that much-needed adrenaline hit, here\u2019s a list of new and unusual sports that are sure to do the trick. 1. CHANNEL YOUR INNER IP MAN More than a decade ago, the empty-hand fighting style of Wing Chun exploded in popularity thanks to Donnie Yen\u2019s compelling performances in the Ip Man series of martial arts films. Wing Chun places an emphasis on close-quarter combat, featuring quick punches and a tight defence to overcome opponents. It is most notable for its iconic movements which \u201cstick\u201d to an adversary that allow you to control and destabilise your opponent, and redirect their energy to your advantage. While Wing Chun may take years to master, it\u2019s also a practical form designed to be picked up more quickly relative to other Chinese martial arts. There is never a bad time to start, by gaining an understanding of its principles, theories and basic skills. After all, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step (into HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok). For beginners looking to follow the footsteps of Grandmaster Ip Man, HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok offers Wing Chun classes on a term basis. 2. BRINGING FIRST-PERSON SHOOTERS TO REAL LIFE HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok is also a sanctuary for IRL (in-real-life) first-person shooter fans. Laser Quest is a laser tag experience that combines Hide-and-Seek, Tag, and high-tech laser guns and vests \u2013 a heart-thumping experience that can accommodate up to 10 players per game. Paintball junkies can also frequent the Paintball Arena at the heart of HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok \u2013 which features state-of-the-art equipment including paintball guns and strategically-designed terrain to deliver adrenaline-packed sessions of wholesome fun.

HomeTeamNS members can try out the Stand-up Paddleboarding course at various PAssion WaVe outlets. HomeTeamNS-PAssion co-brand card holders can enjoy the course at PAssion member rates. 4.
