THERE won't be that many "sifus" (masters) in the Malaysian team this time.
For next month's Sea Games, the Malaysian Wushu Federation will take a gamble by sending a squad of 80 per cent fresh faces to Hanoi.
The target for the 11-member team is to bring back two gold.
National assistant coach Loh Choon How said they invited some international judges last week to give suggestions on how Malaysia can improve.
Choon How admitted that their biggest disadvantage right now is that they do not really know the level of their rivals in terms of skills and preparation.
"We stopped competing internationally for the last two-three years (due to Covid), so we have no idea of which standard or level (of opponents) we are about to face."
Yeap Wai Kin, the 2019 Sea Games double gold medallist, said the team have a strong background in wushu and have been doing high level training.
"We have prepared well and we are feeling confident," he said.
In the 2019 Manila Sea Games, Malaysia won two gold, one silver and one bronze in wushu.
