World Wushu-Kungfu Day 2026
* Worldwide | 8 August 2025 *
On September 28, 2017, the 14th International Wushu Federation Congress, held during the 14th World Wushu Championships in Kazan, approved the initiative to establish the first official World Wushu-Kung Fu Day (WWKD) in 2018, in order that as many people as possible be able to come together to celebrate wushu-kung fu. WWKD is celebrated each year the first Saturday on or following August 8th, and is accompanied by a theme each time.
As the leader of the worldwide wushu movement, the IWUF is committed not only to pursuing wushu’s inclusion in the Olympic Program, but also to wushu becoming part of a globally shared, healthy lifestyle. Wushu promotes the concepts of peace, friendship, health, and an appreciation for nature. We aim to raise global awareness of all practitioners, forms, and styles of wushu-kungfu, be those contemporary competition forms or traditional styles.
8 August 2026 – this year’s the World Wushu Kung Fu Day. The theme is:
“Welcome Youth Olympics – Together, Move with Wushu, Shine with Wushu Spirit”
By uniting wushu enthusiasts worldwide, let’s aim to build powerful momentum for wushu’s historic debut at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games this October.
