About Us
New Zealand Wushu has been an active organisation since 1990. We were recognised by Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) in 2007 as the National Sport Organisation (NSO) for Chinese martial arts, and in 2009 we were further recognised by the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) as an ‘Associate Member’ under Section 9 (9.9) of the NZOC Constitution.
We are the peak governing body for all forms of traditional, recreational, health related and contemporary (sport) Chinese martial arts in New Zealand. Health related includes all aspects of Chinese Tai Chi, Qi-Gong and Healing Arts.
New Zealand Wushu has maintained its status as New Zealand’s sole official representative to the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) since 1990 and to the Oceania Wushu Federation (OWUF) since 1998. IWUF is the world leading organisation for the development and promotion of all forms of traditional and modern Chinese martial arts.
The evolution over time of New Zealand Wushu has seen it hold 3 different titles:
1. The Wellington Region Chinese Martial Arts Association Incorporated (WRCMAA)
2. The New Zealand Chinese Martial Arts-International Wushu Council Incorporated (NZCMA-IWC)
3. The New Zealand Kung-Fu Wushu Federation Incorporated (NZKWF) - current legal name
NZKWF also has as 'short title' names: Kung-Fu Wushu New Zealand, or Wushu New Zealand, or New Zealand Wushu, or Federation.
