The WUSHU & TAI CHI PRACTITIONERS ASSOCIATION Inc (WTPA), formerly known as the Australian National Wushu & Tai Chi Association (ANWTA) is an independent non-profit association having the principal purpose of furthering the standards of Wushu & Tai Chi in all States of Australia.

The association was created by the cooperative efforts of an enthusiastic group of Wushu and Tai Chi schools having the common aim of such improved standards.

It was mainly through the efforts of Master Liu Deming that the sequence of events leading to the formation of the association occurred.

In 1999 Master Liu saw the need for regular competitions within the Wushu and Tai Chi communities and in that year organised the first National Wushu & Tai Chi Championships. Due to the success of this event it has become an annual competition of ever increasing standard and success.

With the increasing number of schools involved in the competition it was decided to form a cooperative committee to run the event each year, and it was this committee that moved to form the association and broaden the activities of the group.
