The first and largest world championship held outside of Asia

In 1995, the USAWKF held the World Wushu Championships in Baltimore, Maryland. This was the first and largest world championship held outside of Asia. This event spurred other continents to host the World Wushu Championships in their respective organizations. This expanded participation in the World Wushu Championships greatly enhanced the prestige of the International Wushu Federation (IWUF).

The mission of USAWKF is to organize the amateur sport of Wushu-Kungfu in the United States and to improve the quality of the sport, increase its popularity, and deliver its benefits to the people of the United States.The United States of America Wushu Kungfu Federation (USAWKF) is the official United States representative to the 97 member-nation International Wushu Federation (IWUF), the official member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The USAWKF is the first and only organization in the U.S. to successfully develop regional and national activities and its formation has tremendously improved the way Wushu-Kungfu events are managed and conducted in the U.S.
