2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Wayland Li Martial Arts Centre in Canada!
Master Wayland Li (李文启老师) founded the school in August 1998. Since then, countless Wushu competitive champions and recreational students have benefited from training in a positive yet challenging learning environment. Master Li has dedicated his life to instructing students and helping them discover their full potential through Wushu.
On September 9, 2018 members of the Wayland Li Martial Arts Centre demonstration team performed at the annual Health Awareness Day (健康關注日). The event was held at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto.
Congrats to our youngest students for putting on a great show!
Thank you Mr. Thomas Tam and the organizing committee for your warm invitation.
Did you know that August 11, 2018 was the first official World Wushu-Kungfu Day (WWKD) and it was proudly celebrated around the world?
The inaugural event marks the beginning of an annual day to celebrate wushu-kungfu. It was organized by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) to raise global awareness of all styles and practitioners, whether traditional or contemporary wushu competition forms.
Here in Canada, our national organization Wushu Canada hosted an event at the L’Amoreaux Community Centre and numerous wushu schools came together to celebrate the occasion.
Several Wayland Li students participated in the Wushu Warrior Circuit Training Challenge, consisting of a timed trail circuit that required athletes to jump, sprint and use strength to get through a challenging obstacle course.
Congrats to all of our athletes and hope you had a fun time!
