The Australian Team is doing very well at the 2019 World Kung Fu Championships.
The Team is working well together with a great sense of unity. Early results have Australia with
4 Silver and 6 Bronze medals – with still more competition days to go.
KWA President, Walt Missingham, has today announced a $10,000 funding support package for our International Team Members. Walt advised:
“It is with great pleasure I can today announce the roll out of our first $10,000 support package for our International Team members. The funds being made available are a direct consequence of the success of our ‘members insurance program’ with the no claims rebates being directly reapplied to the benefit of our organisation and our athletes and coaches. For many years our coaches, athletes and team managers have selflessly carried the financial burden of representing Australia in international competition so it is great to be able to give something back to those who contribute so much to our sport.”
The fund will be administered by the KWA National Events Committee (NEC) and will be applied this year to our team attending the World Wushu Championships in Shanghai.
On 17 February, Fire Dragon Australia had a stall at the ACT’s National Multicultural Festival and put on a demonstration as part of the Chinese New Year Celebrations. As a regular participant of the Festival, our relationship with the Chinese community is always welcomed and the opportunity to explain and our services translates to more memberships to the local kung fu clubs in the the Canberra areas.
On 04th May Fire Dragon also particpated in the 2019 Connect and Participate Expo, run by the ACT Government. This is an opportunity for clubs and societies of all kinds to present to Canberrans ways that they can find fulfillment with organised activities. Our active involvement is seen as support for the ACT Government. However, it is another opportunity to engage with members of the public and help them become aware of Chinese martial arts as accessible options. This year, they were the only martial arts organisation taking part, and had a good steady stream of enquiries at their stall.
