The UC Kung Fu Association was formed in 2017 with the purpose of providing tuition of asian arts to University of Canberra students, staff and the general public.
It is a UC not-for-profit cultural club governed by the UC Union (UC Life!) and therefore is an incorporated association with transparency in finances and operations to all members and to benefit members. Current tuition is provided by the Yut Hung Kung Fu Academy with lessons in Yee Kuen Kung Fu, Wushu, Dragon Dance and Lion Dance. It is expected in the future other disciplines will be taught with various instructors. |
The UCKFA has been seen around campus at various events such as UC Open Day, Multicultural Mega Market Day, Faculty of Health Open Day and has had an intensive workshop provided by Australian Yau Kung Mun Chinese Martial Arts Association from Sydney. We also train on campus on weekends. Besides learning self defence UCKFA members also perform at various events in Canberra for festivals, openings, weddings and conferences and we represent and promote the diversity and flavour of UC.
Membership is open to any UC student, staff and the general public 18 years and older and Associate members are from 8 yo to 17 yo. We have family discounts for tuition fees also. You can view the constitution of UCKFA here.
So far in 2018 we have performed many times including for the National Multicultural Festival, multiple events around Lunar New Year, The Man From Ironbark Festival near Orange at Easter, and around Canberra in schools, childcare centres, private and public celebrations and openings including at UC and ANU. We need all hands on deck for the Canberra Moon Festival and Floriade in September 2018. If you are interested in helping out for this event please come and contact us about our free training sessions we are holding to get ready for these special events. Otherwise join our regular kung fu, dragon and lion dance lessons. We currently train at Sunday nights from 6.30pm to 8:30 pm at the UC Refectory.
