Australia Kung Fu Tai Chi Festival

The Australia Kung Fu Tai Chi Festival is an annual cultural celebration of Chinese martial arts and Tai Chi, first proposed and successfully organized by Shifu Daniel Yunkuo Wang. It brings together martial arts schools, Tai Chi masters, and enthusiasts from around the world for a full day of performances, competitions, and community connection.

1st Festival: Successfully held on 20 September 2025 at Arthur Whiting Park, Castle Hill
Annual Date: Every year on the first Saturday of September

In addition to the annual Australia Kung Fu Tai Chi Festival, the Association also organises a special Lantern Festival Kung Fu & Tai Chi Celebration, held in early spring to mark the traditional Lantern Festival.

This event focuses on cultural celebration, community participation, and festive martial arts performances, offering a more relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere while continuing the spirit of Kung Fu and Tai Chi exchange.

除了一年一度的澳洲功夫与太极武术节外，协会亦举办 元宵节武术与太极庆典，以传统元宵佳节为主题，在春季举行。

该活动更侧重于节庆氛围与社区参与，通过功夫、太极与民俗表演，让更多家庭与公众在轻松欢乐的环境中感受中华武术文化。
