Main Campus, 19th May- Kung Fu club Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) organized an event titled "44th Kung Fu night”. Kung Fu Night would be hosted every academic year, and it took place at Dewan Budaya, Main Campus, USM. The event ran from 7.30p.m. until the performance ended and required a RM20 entry fee. The event features uniquely designed tickets, crafted from round wooden carvings. These tickets are intricately engraved with the event's theme and its logo.

Kung Fu Night was traditionally hosted every academic year by the Kung Fu Club at USM. This event served to showcase the hard work and dedication of members while also aiming to promote the culture and spirit of Kung Fu among the students. Through this annual celebration, it provided a platform for Kung Fu Club members to demonstrate the skills and techniques they had diligently practiced, fostering a deeper appreciation, and understanding of Kung Fu within the university community.

 

Project director of Kung Fu night, Lim Xin Yuan, Housing, Building and Planning, 2 said, the theme for this year is Kung Fu. It might sound very simple, but they want to convey the idea that even simple things require continuous effort. As a Chinese saying goes, everything is about Kung Fu if you practice it long enough, even studying! “Every member here would go through a series of training. Kung Fu Night is the ultimate goal, which is to perform on a stage prepared by us. Throughout continuous training, the master and coaches would train us. We would learn different types of styles, originating from different places. During this event, we will showcase all that we've learned on this stage”, said Yuan.

Yuan said, Kung Fu training not only enhances physical fitness but also significantly strengthens mental resilience. It pushes martial artists to surpass their limits, making them stronger day by day. Practicing with teammates is a favorite part of the experience, as they share blood, sweat, and tears, ultimately celebrating victories together. Many members stay in touch even decades after graduation, reflecting the lasting bonds formed through Kung Fu. On Kung Fu night, there will be a variety of performances such as Kung Fu demonstrations, Tai Chi, 24 Festive Drums, swordplay, nunchaku, and a fluorescent dragon dance. These diverse performances will offer the audience different experiences and allow students to learn about the rich culture and heritage of Kung Fu.
