End of Year Open Day Report

The Pei-Lei Wushu Centre held an 2015 end-of-year function on Sunday 13/12/2015 at Marrickville Wilkins Public School. The event was attended by nearly 100 students and guests. Students from all classes come together to show-case their achievements with a series of wushu and tai chi performances as a meaningful event for wushu cultural promotion.

The performance program consisted of group and individual demonstrations on wushu basic movements, traditional wushu fists and weapons, Chin Woo tao-lu, bagua-palm, Yang and Chen tai chi forms. Master Alice Dong put on a spectacular double-hooks wushu weapon and
bagua-palm performances in front of the guests and was rewarded with a huge round of applause.

Everyone stayed back after the event to network and to sample the finger foods and snacks brought in by the students. Group photos were then taken to end the party, and everyone is looking forward to meeting again next year.

In addition, the NSW Chin Woo Athletics Association and Pei-Lei Wushu Centre will be participating in the following 2016 Australian Day event, and the Chinese New Year Lunar Lanterns Community Programs organised by the Sydney City Council:

2015 End-Of-Year School Open Day

The Pei-Lei Wushu Association will be closed for the festive seasons after the Sunday lesson on 13/12/2015. All classes will resume in early February.

The school will be holding an end-of–year event on tai chi and wushu demonstration on the afternoon of 13/12/2015. Please invite your family members and friends to support this function.

This will be an opportunity for all students to foster and share their learning experiences. It is also a good platform for students to show-case their achievements from the weekly training lessons, and to promote tai chi and wushu for health.

‘Bring a plate’ is a great way to share the party workload. We suggest each class ring a few plates of savoury dishes/nibbles and light refreshments to share for afternoon tea.

Congratulations to Master Alice Dong

The Chinese Wushu Duan-Wei System is the official system implemented by the Chinese Wushu Association to overall evaluate and recognise the levels of Wushu practitioners. The first Oceania Wushu Duan-Wei Grading Course and Exam organised by Kung Fu Wushu Australia and Chinese Wushu Association was successfully held in Australia. This has signified a milestone achievement for the development of Chinese wushu in Australia.

The Chinese Wushu Association has paid highly attention to this Duan-Wei Grading Course and Exam by sending an official delegation led by Mr Kang Ge Wu of Wushu 9th Duan and head-in-charge of the Chinese Wushu Duan-Wei System, companying with the following five wushu experts to conduct the training course and judging of the exam:

Ms Zhang Yu-Ping, Wushu 8th Duan; Mr Zhao You-Bin, a famous Yang Taiji Master and Wushu 8th Duan; Mr Sa Jun-Jie, son of the late famous Xing-Yi and Ba-Gua Master Sa Guo Zheng, and Mr Kang Tao, a disciple of the famous Chen Taiji Master Chen Zheng-Lei.

A total of 31 wushu practitioners from various regions of Australia participated in the grading course and exam.

Master Alice Dong, who is the President of the Pei-Lei Chinese Wushu Centre and also the fifth lineage holder of traditional Yang Taiji, has achieved the Wushu 8th Duan.

Alice said that she was very grateful to accept this honour, as it is a big recognition and acknowledgement for her progressive contribution to the development of Chinese wushu culture. She has confidence to continue her effort to prosper Chinese wushu culture in Australia. She was excited to have met the famous Yang Master Zhao You-Bin. Master Zhao came to Sydney for the Yang Taiji teaching and net-working activity after the duan-wei grading course and exam. Students of the Pei-Lei Wushu Centre had an opportunity to meet and to discuss with Master Zhao on taiji topics while having dinner together.

All wushu lovers around the world would have the same aims in making friendship, promoting unification, learning from each other and inheriting the traditional Chinese wushu culture. No matter where we are, we always belong to a big taiji family.

The Pei-Lei Chinese Wushu Centre has been established in Australia for 20 years. The Centre has trained students with excellent achievements in many National and International Championships with many medal awards from gold to bronze. The Center has also made an excellent contribution to the continuing development of Chinese Wushu by successfully training up wushu judges and coaches.
