The 13th World Chin Woo Martial Arts and Culture Festival (organised by the Shanghai Chin Woo Federation), which included wushu, calligraphy, dragon and lion dance competitions, was successfully held from August 15 to 18 at the Shanghai Hong-Kou Chin Woo Sport Stadium. During the Festival, joint conference of Presidents of World Chin Woo and a workshop for Chin Woo descendants were also held.

The event organiser has invited a great grandson of Huo Yuan-Jia, grandchildren of Nong Jin-Sun, descendants of Chen Gong-Zhe and several previous famous wushu champions of the Shanghai Chin Woo Association to reunite in Shanghai for the celebration of this World Chin Woo event.

This great event was attended by athletes from 15 countries, such as USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Swiss, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore etc., and from the great China regions such as Hong Kong, Tianjin and Shanghai with a total of over 400 participants from 32 Chin Woo Associations. The Australian Chin Woo Team of 20 members led by Alice Dong, three team coaches (masters Wilson Chan, Chen Zhi-Cheng and Boun Lee), and students from the Pei-lei Wushu and Da-Hung Kung-fu Academy attended the event and achieved outstanding results with a total of 4 gold, 4 silvers and 4 bronze medals for the individual wushu and dual sparing competitions.

The NSW Chin Woo Association will be organising a special dinner function to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the team in this World Chin Woo Championship.

Pei Lei Wushu and NSW Chin Woo Association Shine in Young Festival 2014

Posted on: 22/04/2014

A contingent of 12 members from the Pei-Lei Wushu Centre had travelled to Young, a historic country town in Southern NSW, to support the celebration of the Lambing Flat Chinese Festival 2014 on Saturday April 12 in Anderson Park. The festival celebrated the contribution of the Chinese to the development of Australia with a new focus featuring a re-enactment of the 1861 Lambing Flat riots, Chinese Lion Dancing, Tai Chi and Wushu demonstration, and market stalls.

Tourism Manger Mr David Newberry said it was the first Lambing Flat Chinese Festival and it had been well received locally and further afield. In particular, the festival had tremendous support from the Chinese communities/associations in Sydney and Canberra, and attracted an estimated 3000 to 5000 people, which organisers said they couldn’t be happier with.

The Pei Lei wushu group, also representing the NSW Chin Woo Association, contributed to the success of the festival by an awesome Wushu and graceful Tai Chi group performances. Video footage of the festival, which was captured by local media, and photo images of the Pei Lei performances have been posted in the school website gallery.
