The 9th World Junior Wushu Championships was held in Brunei Darussalam during the 22nd to 30th September. Despite being a junior championship, the standard is extremely high and competitive for all the young talents. Australia was able to secure two Bronze Medals, one for Sanda and one for Taolu. It is with great pleasure that Ashton Chan was awarded 3rd place for his Qiangshu. 

Australia was invited as an honorary guest to compete at the SJM 10th Asian Wushu Championships in Macau China 12th to 15th of September. The team did very well competing against Asia's very best athletes.

 The 4th World Taijiquan Wushu Championships was held in Singapore this year 21st to 28th of August. The team consisted of athletes from New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. It is with great pleasure that we congratulate our Sasha Leung on placing 8th in Women's 42 Step Taijiquan.

 An invitational competition was held in Brunei Darussalam. Wushu athletes from Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia took part in the inaugural competition. The event was spectated by His Royal Highness Prince Haji Sufri Bolkiah, President of the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council (BDNOC) who is an executive member of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), the Australian Ambassador Australian High Commissioner Mr Luke Arnold, and members of the public.

 The International Wushu Invitational Tournament 2024 2024 was hosted by IWUF and organised and supported by Chinese Wushu Association in Jiangyin, China, from April 21 to 26. This tournament served as the supplementary qualifier for 3rd Taolu World Cup 2024 and 10th Sanda World Cup 2024, addressing the concerns of federations unable to participate in the 16th World Wushu Championships primarily due to visa issues.

This event was attended by none other than our Melvin Tan! We congratulate him on his performance and returning safely.
