2010 International Shaolin Wuzuquan Federation Competition

After the buzz and excitement of the Opening Ceremony was over, it was time for the students to compete. Whilst students were hoping that a full/limited contact sparring competition would be available this year, it was not able to be organised in time, and as such the competition was limited to performances. The categories of competition included:

Wuzuquan – Five Ancestors Fist forms
Nanquan – Southern Shaolin forms
Two-person unarmed forms
Long weapons / Polearms (ie. staff, spear etc)
Short weapons (ie. swords, daggers etc)
