The sport of Wushu is both an exhibition and a full-contact sport derived from traditional Chinese martial arts. It was created in the Peoples Republic of China after 1949, in an attempt to nationalize the practice of traditional. Chinese martial arts. Most of the modern competition forms were formed from their parent arts (see list below) by government-appointed committees. In contemporary times, wushu has become an international sport through the International Wushu Federation (IWUF), which holds the World Wushu Championships  every two years; the first World Championships were held in 1991 in Beijing and won by Yuan Wen Qin. Over 25 teams will be competing in this years Collegiate Tournament!!!
