Wushu divisions in sport karate tournaments

[miguksaram]

For those who participate in wushu tournaments, would you like to see wushu divsions added to sport karate tournaments? If so would you be more willing to support tournaments which held wushu divsions?

It will be difficult to judge and combine. It is hard for other martial artists to compete in mixed tournaments already.

I don't feel it will be difficult. Keep in mind that if you enter the wushu division you will have to do a wushu form. You can not go in there with a karate form. Plus we will have wushu people judging the division, so we won't have complaints about karate people not knowing what they are doing in that division.

I am telling you, from past experience and participation, it will be difficult to organized and mix up. Leave a Wushu tourney-a Wushu tourney.

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, however, we just held such an event two weeks ago at the AKA Grand Nationals. We had black belt /advance rank wushu divsions. Everything ran smoothly. We did not have a extremely huge turn out for the wushu specific events, but I feel that is mostly due to not promoting it very well.

 

That is why I was trying to get feed back from the wushu people on what we could do to make it appealing for them to enter such a tournament in the future.

 

With respect,

The turn out is low because there maybe not too many Wu Shu practitioners in your area. And, Wu Shu or CMArtists usually remain within their own. The "birds of a feather" thing.

Although the concept has been tried, I agree and admire with your effort. With return sincerity and respect, 47MM
