Since its inception, WTQA has grown stronger by the year. New members are joining almost weekly and membership numbers are at an all-time high. With one of the strongest committees we have seen in years, WTQA represents a vibrant and diverse community of wushu practitioners. By becoming a member of WTQA, you will be joining the most well-respected and stable of the Chinese martial and healing arts organisations in Australia. 

Newsletter: 

The WTQA newsletter is produced bi-monthly and offers free advertising to all members for any events related to these arts which may be of interest to other practitioners: workshops, retreats, study tours, sight-seeing tours, etc.

It is usual that members offer fellow WTQA members a discounted price thus encouraging and supporting each other to both continue and to broaden our studies. 

The newsletter also provides a forum where members are able to share thoughts, discoveries, researched information and photos of events or special occasions.

Contributions from all members are always welcomed, however, the committee reserves the right to refuse material should it be at odds with our aims.

Class Exemption:

At all levels of membership, you will have access, on application, to the WTQA Control of Weapons Class Exemption. All members in possession of a prohibited weapon are required to be registered and to carry a membership or exemption card with their weapons. Please check the Weapons: Class Exemption page for details on how to apply.

Workshops:

From time to time, WTQA presents workshops for members' participation. These workshops are always offered at hugely discounted prices.

The WTQA X-Training Day has become a major event on the annual calendar. Facilitated by organisation schools and instructors who offer a huge range of topics, the X-Training Day is highly anticipated and always well attended. Open to non-members as well, substantial discounts are, however, only available to WTQA members.

Member Discounts:

Wherever possible, WTQA will reduce prices, entry and registration fees for its members. It is also customary among members, as a gesture of support and goodwill, to offer member-to-member discounts, however small, on workshops, classes, educational materials and martial arts supplies.

Awards and Sponsorships:

Where deemed appropriate by the Committee of Management, WTQA will provide awards and sponsorship to individual athletes selected for international competition. For consideration on your or a deserving athlete, applications may be made in writing to the Committee.

WTQA Logo:

As an Organisation Member, your school may use the WTQA logo on promotional and corporate materials. Membership of industry associations gives confidence and credibility to potential customers - students and corporate entities alike. Please let your people know that you are backed by WTQA with an Approved Organisation or an Approved Instructor status, by proudly displaying the WTQA Logo.
