Another big day out for Wulong at the 2024 Wushu Taichi Qigong Australia Festival. Some amazing tai chi and qigong on show with solo and group performances from Wulong instructors and advanced students demonstrating the professional moves we learned from Professor Lily.
What an event! The packed Festival programme involved a large number of practitioners showcasing their favourite tai chi, qigong and wushu routines.
A special massed interactive qigong activity was led by Wulong’s own Instructor Noriko. So invigorating! Nearly all performers and guests were on their feet breathing and stretching.
Our solo and group performers provided an enthralling spectacle.
SOLO - Taichi Yang Style Fan 28
Wulomg Instructor Noriko, from our Sunday Caulfield class, thrilled guests with the Taichi Yang Style Fan 28 routine. Noriko has been a gold medallist at WTQA competitions and in Beijing China.
SOLO - Five Animals Qigong
Wulong Advanced Student Roland, from our Tuesday Yarraville class, conjured the spirits of the Five Animals - tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird. Roland has been a gold medallist at WTQA competitions.
GROUP - Duan Wei 3 Yang 17
Our Wulong Advanced Students - Roland, Candice, Michael, Helen M, Noriko , Sara and Helen S - performed the Standardised Duan Wei Yang Style Tai Chi Level 3 routine, sometimes called Yang 17.
A special shout out to Melbourne University Wushu Kung Fu, also coached by Professor Lily, who put on an amazing wushu show including weapons.
Grateful thanks to WTQA President Sam Au, committee and organising team for the outstanding day. It was pleasing to see President Sam Au call Professor Lily forward in acknowledging the key supporters of the Festival.
