Master Shao Zhao Ming of Tai Chi Kung Fu Institute and Sifu Dana Wong of the Qian Li Dao Academy co-hosted a Women’s Self-Defence Workshop on 15 June in Murrumbeena, as part of an on-going campaign to raise women’s participation in the Chinese martial arts for health, self-defence and overall well being. Subsidised by the Victorian State government as part of the TMA (Together More Active) funding grant, Master Shao and Sifu Wong led a group of almost 40 women through some basic self-defence concepts. Only 13 participants were already practicing Kung Fu, with the others coming to see the benefits and to learn some new skills. The workshop was well received, with plans for another to come soon.
