Wushu Demonstration

Mississauga Night Wushu Demo

Wayland Li Wushu performed a demo for the Mississauga Night 2022《安捷之夜 - 2022密西沙加新春晚会》which was hosted by the Mississauga Chinese Arts Organization (MCAO) 密市华人艺术团 and co-produced by the Canada Performing Artists Network 加拿大演艺联盟(CPAN).

This was our first in-person demo since the pandemic and our students performed wonderfully! Thank you to all the students and parents for their hard work.

A quick peek behind the scenes of what our students do to prepare for a demo.

Wushu in Canada Documentary

On October 2, 2021, we decided to shoot a short documentary on Wushu. We reused a lot of the routines we practiced for the Shang-Chi movie release demo, and decided to head down to Scarborough Bluffs Park. Nothing like doing cool Wushu with friends down by the lake!

We would like to thank Quinn Dalgarno for his professional and exceptional filmmaking skills. If you need a superb multimedia specialist in film, editing, photography and sound engineering, you can get in contact with Quinn through this site: https://www.quinndalgarnoproductions.com/.

Jia you!!!! 加油!!!!


Shang-Chi Movie Premiere Wushu Demonstration

Back in 2021, we were contracted to perform at the Canadian premiere of the Marvel hit “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” We were EXTREMELY excited by this - the movie prominently featured Wushu and we love all the actors in the movie (especially hometown boy Simu Liu!).

We planned a very choreographed wushu demo and practiced, practiced, practiced. And then we practiced some more…

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and the Delta variant, the movie studio cancelled all promotional events for Canada and we lost the opportunity to perform.

But the show must go on…

It was a great experience for all of our athlete performers and parents.

Hey Marvel - call us to demo for the sequel Shang-Chi movie! ;)
