Hello everyone!
Just this past Sunday, we partnered with the UO Confucius Institute and the Cinema Pacific Film Festival to hold the Masters of Chinese Martial Arts Event! Master Hu Jianqiang, and his wife, Master Zong Jianmei came from LA as a guest of our event. Master David Leung of Leung Martial Arts in Eugene was also a guest at our event. The event showcased different styles of Wushu, and UO Wushu Club had the opportunity to also show what we know as well. In addition, we also got to learn some more Wushu from Master Hu Jianqiang in different styles such as Changquan, Straightsword, Fan, and Eagle!
We would like to thank everyone for coming to this event and supporting us!
Here are some photos of our event!
