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 UCX (UC Life!) and therefore is an incorporated association with transparency in finances and operations to all members and to benefit members. In 2021 it has transitioned to becoming a UC not-for-profit sports club adopting the name change of UC Stars Kung Fu. Current tuition is provided by the Yut Hung Kung Fu Academy with lessons in Yee Kuen Kung Fu, Zi Ran Men, Wushu, Dragon Dance and Lion Dance. It is expected in the future other disciplines will be taught with various instructors. |
UC Stars Kung Fu 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. 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. In 2019 we were fortunate to be invited to perform on the Majestic Princess Cruise Ship to New Zealand for a professional lion dance performance for Lunar New Year and 4 of our members (3 of them current UC students) were paid to make the trip. Later that year our entire club performed Dragon and Lion Dance at the AIS Arena duiring the Opals vs China women's basketball match in preparation for the Asian Cup.
