About AWCC Taichi

AWCC Taichi is the Glen Waverley arm of the Australian Wushu Culture Centre, a Melbourne organisation dedicated to teaching authentic Chinese internal martial arts. The focus here is Chen-style Tai Chi alongside broader wushu and qigong traditions, taught with an emphasis on technique, lineage and the cultivation of both body and mind.

The centre caters to genuine beginners through to dedicated practitioners, offering structured pathways from foundation courses into more advanced and elite training. Students train under accomplished masters with deep competition and teaching backgrounds, and classes balance physical conditioning, balance and mobility with the slower, meditative qualities that draw many people to tai chi in the first place.

With teen martial arts programs running alongside adult tai chi and Wudang kung fu, AWCC positions itself as a cultural and fitness home for the whole family in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Whether the goal is improved health, stress relief, character development or serious martial progression, the centre offers a welcoming, tradition-grounded environment in which to learn.
