EUROPEAN WUSHU EVENTS

 

The European Wushu Federation has always been the pioneer for introducing new events and competition formats which were later followed by the IWUF. For example – the EWUF was the first to introduce in 2003 the first continental championships for juniors. The EWUF was the first to introduce competition with optional routines and the first to organise in 2013 the first dedicated taijiquan event.

The EWUF has the following competition formats:

 

1. EUROPEAN WUSHU CHAMPIONSHIPS

This major competiton takes place every two years. There are taolu and sanda competitions in accordance with IWUF Competition Rules.

 

2. EUROPEAN TRADITIONAL WUSHU CHAMPIONSHIPS

This is an official European Championship for traditional wushu routines and light contact fighting. A dedicated set of EWUF Traditional Wushu Competition Rules is used.

 

3. EUROPEAN TAIJIQUAN and INTERNAL STYLES CHAMPIONSHIPS
