The 5th World Traditional Wushu Championships were staged at Huangshan, China from the November 8th – 10th 2012. The event attracted over 2800 competitors of 245 teams from 55 countries and regions. The Pei Lei Wushu school’s students were among those who attended, with 11 competitors and 3 observers travelling to China from Sydney, Australia. Master Alice Dong accompanied them and was the official team coach for Australia.

Our school’s results were as follows:
4 Gold Medals for individual events
6 Bronze medals for individual events
1 set of Bronze medals for a group event

This was a fantastic experience for everyone to see more of the competitors from all across the world and to gain more confidence in their own Wushu skills. One of our students, Brian Corless, has kindly written his own humorous account of the trip.

 

On the 2nd of September we participated in the 2012 Oceania Kung Fu/Wushu Championships with tremendous success from our students. There were nearly 180 competitors from Australia and New Zealand participating in events such as traditional wushu and sanda.

We had 39 students from the Pei Lei Wushu Association who competed in the wushu and tai chi events. In total we accomplished 25 Gold medals, 7 Silver medals and 6 Bronze medals. This is a fantastic achievement and we would like to congratulate all those who competed and thank anyone who came to help and spectate.
