Play Fu is a unique program that combines traditional martial arts techniques with fun games and activities to create an engaging and exciting learning experience for children. Our program is suitable for children of all ages and skill levels, and our experienced instructors are dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential.
We are excited to announce a special open house event for our Play Fu program, which will be hosted by Kung Fu Wushu WA, Western Australia’s peak body for martial arts. This event is open to the public and is a great opportunity for parents and children to come and see what our program is all about.
At the open house, parents and children will have the chance to meet our instructors, try out some of our martial arts techniques, and participate in fun games and activities. We will also provide information about our program, including pricing and scheduling options, so parents can make an informed decision about whether Play Fu is the right fit for their child.
We believe that martial arts can have a positive impact on children’s lives, and we are proud to offer the Play Fu program to families in Western Australia. We hope to see you at our open house event and look forward to introducing you to the world of Play Fu!

The Australian Junior Wushu Team recently attended the 8th World Junior Wushu Championships, held in Tangerang Indonesia, from the 3rd to 11th December 2022.
The tournament was a great success and the largest Junior Wushu Championships of its kind in history. More than 800 young athletes competed from over 60 countries, with representation from the five continents of the world. It was an invaluable and eye-opening experience for our young athletes – all of whom had previously not competed at a tournament of this scale.
The team had trained hard and diligently, and were able to remain safe despite the ongoing risks of COVID-19. We managed to obtain great results for Australia including a 3rd Place Award by Sasha Leung for the Group B Female TaiJiJian 42 event, and 7th Place Award by Aiden Chan for
the Group B Male Spear event.
Overall our team had a great time and id a great job both as competitors and ambassadors. It was wonderful to see the next generation of our athletes representing Australia in wushu, and pursuing sporting excellence.
