🙏 Remembering his contribution. Continuing his legacy. 铭记贡献，传承精神。

We were deeply saddened to recently learn of the passing of Russell Jack AM.

Although we have only recently come to learn more about Russell’s remarkable life and his extraordinary contribution to Bendigo, we are deeply moved by his legacy and saddened by the loss of such a remarkable person.

As a Kung Fu school and part of Bendigo’s Chinese cultural community, we feel a profound sense of loss at the passing of such a respected pioneer and elder.

Russell devoted his life to preserving and sharing Bendigo’s Chinese heritage, culture and history. As the founder of the Golden Dragon Museum and a passionate advocate for cultural preservation, his vision and dedication have left a lasting legacy for Bendigo and generations to come.

May he rest in peace, and may the culture, history and traditions he worked so tirelessly to preserve continue to live on.

🙏 深切缅怀，向这位为中华文化传承奉献一生的前辈致以最深的敬意。愿安息。

Before we begin this new chapter, we would like to sincerely thank BCA for the incredible support over the past five years.
This venue has been a very special place for our club, and while we feel sad to leave, we are also excited about the new opportunities ahead.

With everyone’s continued support, we hope to keep growing together and continue sharing the beauty of Chinese culture, martial arts, discipline, and positive values with our local community.

Please remember:

🧥 Dress warmly — the weather is getting colder, so please wear enough layers, especially before and after training.
🚻 Classes run for approximately 1.5–2 hours. Students may use the restroom if needed, but we kindly ask everyone to go before class whenever possible to minimise interruptions.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We hope everyone settles into our new training environment quickly.
