The Australian International Wushu Festival has been held three times, and Wendy Jiang, President of the Australian Oriental Martial Arts Tai Chi (AOMA), has been chairwoman of the organising committee for all three: 2018 (500+ athletes, supported by WTQA), 2019 (nearly 1,000 athletes from around the world, supported by the Chinese Wushu Association, World Taijiquan Network, the Victorian Chinese Association and Da Hua Times), and 2026 (held at Box Hill, Melbourne, with over 1,000 athletes, delegates and guests; the Chinese Consul-General in Melbourne delivered a congratulatory speech).

They are two organisations under joint operation: AWCC (Australian Wushu Culture Centre) was founded by world all-round Wushu champion Wendy Jiang, bringing together top Chinese Wushu masters, focusing on authentic junior Chinese Kung Fu and Chen-style Tai Chi training; AOMA (Australian Oriental Martial Arts Tai Chi) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to community Tai Chi, with nine years in Melbourne. Both are operated by the same team in close cooperation.

AWCC is formed by four leading Chinese Wushu institutions:

1. AOMA Australian Oriental Martial Arts Tai Chi (a community Tai Chi brand with nine years in Melbourne)
2. Zhengzhou Dongwu Tai Chi Research Institute
3. Wudang Longmen Guoshu Academy
4. Songshan Shaolin Temple International Wushu Academy

With these four institutions joining forces, face-to-face training combined with bilingual online courses means you can learn authentic Chinese Kung Fu and Chen-style Tai Chi from scratch here in Melbourne. Link: AWCC organisation profile
