Wulong and MUWK produce exceptional Chinese Martial Arts at the 2026 WTQA Festival
On Sunday, 30 August 2026, students from Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu and Melbourne University Wushu Kung Fu (MUWK) proudly competed at the 24th Wushu Tai Chi Qigong Australia Inc. (WTQA), Festival, held at Carwatha College, Noble Park North.
Under the skilled guidance of Wulong principle instructor and MUWK coach Professor Lily Sun, students delivered outstanding performances.
“Watching you perform at the competition yesterday, I couldn’t have been prouder as your teacher,” said Professor Lily. “Under immense pressure, you stayed cool, composed, and gave it your absolute all. Your hard work completely won over the audience, and even the officials and judges were deeply impressed by your skill, dedication, and spirit.”

A special shout out to Melbourne University Wushu Kung Fu, also coached by Professor Lily, who achieved exceptional results for barehand and weapons routines including 16 medals and overall wushu champion trophy.
“This incredible success didn't happen by chance. I know how much effort and sacrifice went into this journey. I’ve seen you pushing through injuries and illnesses just to make it to practice, giving 100% in class, and putting in countless extra hours at home. It is your passion, perseverance, and respect for Taichi that brought about such a massive leap in your technique. You earned every round of applause yesterday!”
The Festival, hosted by WTQA, comprised a competition and performance and it brought together martial arts schools and enthusiasts from across the country to celebrate the rich traditions of Chinese martial arts.
