KWA Australia President Walt Missingham has today been confirmed as the new President of the Oceania Wushu Federation.

The Oceania Wushu Federation is one of the Five Continental Federations of the International Wushu Federation (IWUF).

Walt has commented that “the challenges ahead in extending wushu into the Oceania region are many but with the support I have been given by both IWUF and the Chinese Wushu Federation I am confident we will meet these challenges and deliver the outcomes for all concerned”.

KWA National President Walt Missingham has today advised that Australia’s first ever World Wushu Championships Gold Medal (first place Female Compulsory Nanquan) has been achieved by Elizabeth Lim at the 13th World Wushu Championships currently underway in Jakarta. Congratulations to Elizabeth, Head Coach Kee Tan and the entire Australian Team. A more detailed account of the Australian Team in Jakarta will be posted upon their return to Australia.

For the first time ever the World Wushu Championships will be streamed live
online. Every minute of the action will be shown live in high definition
from Jakarta on www.worldwushu.tv. The IWUF has hired the world-class IEC in Sports production team, who will expertly film and produce the action that
will go out to a worldwide audience.

On Sunday, November 1 the IWUF official launched the Wushu TV channel. The
website features hours of footage ranging from instructional videos to
action from previous wushu competitions. From November 14 to 18 every
session from every discipline will be available to watch for free on on all
devices through the channel.

This channel is going to revolutionise the way people view wushu. For
athletes, their friends and family can now watch them compete on the world’s
biggest stage. They will also receive the recognition they’ve deserved for
so long. For wushu lovers across the world, they can now watch the action of
their favourite sport. Young children will want to compete in the World
Wushu Championships so that they too will be shown to people from all over
the globe. This is the new age of wushu and it’s in crystal clear high
definition.
