History

Background

In January 1982, the movie Shaolin Temple (1982) was released as the first film to feature modern wushu.[1] Later that year, the General Administration of Sport of China officially proclaimed that wushu practitioners had a duty 'to promote wushu to the world'[2][3] with the ultimate goal of wushu becoming an official event at the Olympic Games. In June, the Chinese Wushu Association (CWA) hosted a small-scale international wushu tournament.[4] A year later in 1983, Beijing won the bid to host the 1990 Asian Games, the first international multi-sport event to occur in China, and wushu was added as a new sport.

1985, Xi'an

The CWA officially hosted the 1st International Invitational Wushu Championships in Xi'an from August 22-25, 1985.[4][5] 91 athletes from 14 nations competed. China finished in first place with a clean sweep of 14 gold medals, Japan finished in second with five silver and three bronze medals, Canada and Hong Kong finished in third with two silver medals, the United States was fourth with six bronze medals, and Singapore earned a silver medal.[6] Zhao Changjun and Zhang Hongmei from China captured the male and female all-around titles respectively.[6] At this competition, a preparatory committee was formed for the foundation of the International Wushu Federation (then abbreviated to the IWF) which was led by the CWA and joined by various individuals and organizations throughout the world.[7]

Other competitions

China hosted the International Wushu and Taijiquan Festival in Beijing from August 12-15, 1989. 200 athletes from 16 nations participated.[16]

The second Asian Wushu Championships was hosted by Hong Kong in 1989. At this competition, the IWUF was expected to be established with the first world championships in 1990.[17] Due to delays, this was unable to be completed, and thus the CWA thus gave the Wushu Federation of Malaysia on short notice the authority to host an international competition in the middle of 1990. Later in 1990, the wushu competition at the 1990 Asian Games took place.[5] On October 3, the last day of competition, the IWUF was officially formed. In November of the same year, the CWA hosted a second international sanshou competition.[18]

In March 1991, the CWA hosted the second international sanshou tournament in Beijing. China won six golds, and Romania and Gabon earned a gold each.[19] In October, the IWUF hosted the 1st World Wushu Championships.
