AWCC provides martial arts and Tai Chi training in kindergartens, aged care facilities, and schools, reaching up to 4,000 people . Since March 2018, AWCC has conducted 48 free public classes in various locations (Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Doncaster, Kew, Berwick, Burwood East, and the City), offering Chinese Wudang Kung Fu and Tai Chi, along with advanced courses, training camps, and specialized workshops with a progressive curriculum.
During the 2020-2021 pandemic, AWCC’s international livestream platform offered bilingual (Chinese and English) “Tai Chi at Home” online courses, benefiting over 100,000 community members. This 48-week program, broadcast on Chinese and English platforms, was highly valued by those affected by lockdowns, depression, and weakened immunity.
Post-pandemic, AWCC was invited by the government to conduct outdoor “Sunshine Recovery” programs for residents hesitant to leave their homes. AWCC members have consistently won awards in the World Tai Chi Network video competition. Since 2024, AWCC has incorporated Wudang and Shaolin Kung Fu resources to offer youth martial arts classes, bringing the benefits of Chinese Kung Fu to all age groups in Australia.
