Below are the recent results of various local and international kung fu tournaments or competitions where Golden Lion students have successfully won medals and trophies. By way of introduction, here’s a brief account.

Kung Fu Tournaments Martial Arts Competitions

In the western world, contemporary Nan Quan forms are the forms of choice at kung fu tournaments and Chinese martial arts competitions. In Australia and throughout the world, there are now National Wushu Championships that offer modern and traditional forms, divided into male, female, adult and junior divisions.

Kung Fu is a Nan Quan Wu Shu Competition Sport

These martial arts competitions are now standardised so that any person from any country can be judged according to the same criteria. This means that a person participating in any one division will be judged on the same series of movements, referred to as ‘forms’ or ‘routines’. In Chinese they are called ‘kuen’ or ‘kata’ in Japanese.

These routines are also called ‘International’ forms.

And of course, there are special instructions on how to train for these tournaments.

See below for the achievements of our students at some of these tournaments.
