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 (who was also a WTQA judge!) So relaxing! Nearly all competitors and audience members were on their feet breathing and stretching.
Wulong's small team made quite the impact, walking away with Qigong Overall Champion trophy and 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 6 bronze medals.
Roland Heath - Qigong Gold Medal and overall Qigong Champion
Rowan Dinning - Tai Chi Silver and Bronze Medals
Qigong Team - Ann Whitfield, Anne Price, Kathy Campelj, Helen Simmonds and Roland Heath - Bronze medal.
Special shout out and congratulations to Melbourne University Wushu Kung Fu, also coached by Professor Lily. Many individual medals and overall Wushu Champion Connor McGowan.
Big thanks to Michael, Jenny, Sharna, and Ros, our cheer squad and paparazzi crew. We thank you!
