UPDATE: Since the competition, the WTQA Committee has decided to award gold medals in the Qigong team competition to the Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu team for performance of Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang (Stick Qigong) routine. Our team were previously awarded the bronze medals in a combined Tai Chi / Qigong team competition. And … our other performance of Tai Chi Fan 18 form, which previously came In fourth place, is now awarded bronze medals. What a great result!!
Big day out for Wulong at the 2023 Wushu Tai Chi Qigong Australia (WTQA) Festival. Gold, silver and bronze for our tai chi and qigong individual and team competitors!! And most honoured guest status for Professor Lily. Well deserved!
Grateful thanks to WTQA President Sam Au and organising team for the outstanding day.
What a day it was! With special performances from the masters, a massed Beijing 24 performance and a special interactive qigong activity led by Wulong’s own Lucy Keenan. So relaxing! Nearly all competitors and audience members were on their feet breathing and stretching.
