(#WWKD201 9 )
Celebration
On Saturday, August 10, 2019 wushu practitioners, fans, and athletes on all five continents excitedly celebrated the second World Wushu-Kungfu Day (WWKD). Wushu clubs, schools and individuals in dozens of countries energetically took part in performances, competitions, and in-house exhibitions, and social media was buzzing as people marked their photos, videos, and memories with the hashtag #WWKD2019 photos.
“Wushu-Kungfu with Friends Everywhere” was the theme of WWKD 2019, and the holiday successfully achieved its goal of raising global awareness of all forms of wushu-kungfu and practitioners of all styles, whether traditional styles or contemporary competition forms. It was evident that wushu-kungfu practice helps develop athleticism, promote health, boost confidence, foster community, and promote cultural exchange.
Since the first World Wushu-Kungfu Day (WWKD) in 2018 came to a close last year, the IWUF continued thinking of ways for wushu-kungfu enthusiasts all over the world to become even more involved in this year’s holiday, and so announced the “2019 WWKD Logo Design Competition,” for which over 100 designs were submitted for consideration. The final logo, designed by Iunusova Albina of Kyrgyzstan, appeared in and on posters, souvenirs, announcements, and videos leading up to, on, and following WWKD.
In addition to the successful implementation of a WWKD logo design competition, the official WWKD 2019 Brochure was made available in 7 languages. Owing to the help of wushu experts all over the world, the brochure was available to download, print, and distribute as part of this exciting step in the worldwide wushu movement.
Finally, in recognition of the efforts and support of IWUF member federations, along with individual educational institutions, clubs, and enthusiasts to participate in promoting wushu through exciting and unique WWKD activities, the IWUF organized the selection of individual organizations as “ 2019 WWKD Outstanding Organizer ” and individual activities as “ 2019 WWKD Outstanding Promotion ” for World Wushu-Kungfu Day in 2019.
We’re excited by how much the worldwide wushu-kungfu community has grown, and inspired by all of our potential for the future. We look forward to your participation and enthusiasm again next year as we all celebrate World Wushu-Kungfu Day 2020 together!
In the meantime, check out some of the fun WWKD celebrations on Facebook, WeChat, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtags #WWKD2018 and #WWKD2019.
