We have been thinking about this for at least 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨… WE ARE GROWING, and by now we are no longer just a single name, a single person, or a single school. We are so many now… so many athletes of both yesterday and today, so many World, Asian, and European champions… and collaborators… video makers… promoters, and more.

What started out as a small thing has become something immense, thanks of course to all of you.

Some projects that have been in the works since last year will perhaps (I hope!) come to life in the coming months.

But the most beautiful part is that we are simply a network of people who help each other by sharing videos, connecting people, etc., trying to become a little better every single day.. And it’s always amazing when we can support each other in the wushu community! You really feel part of a real family!

Even Pokémon evolve after all… right?

Listening to the wind of change, we follow it, and we change too!

The 9th “China Boxing World – Wushu Style Ranking” Award Ceremony, “2024 Annual Summit” of “WKF China” and “WBU – World Boxing Union” Greater China was successfully held on 13th January 2025, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province with the main venue, and branch venues in Inner Mongolia, Tianjin and Dalian. The main venue and the branch venues were linked through network meetings with multiple provinces and cities participating in the meeting synchronously across the region. The leadership teams of WKF China, WBU Greater China and the heads of various departments made speeches and discussions, through video, to discuss this year’s WKF event together.

During the annual summit, Dr Yan Dinan, President of WKF China, President of WBU Greater China, and Life Noble Knight of Malta, delivered a video speech to summarise the annual work of WKF China and WBU Greater China in 2024, and put forward a guideline for the development plan in 2025.

In 2024, WKF China and WBU Greater China will focus on “Troika”: “Science and Education”, “Digital Heritage”, “Sports Science and Technology” to carry out business activities in a comprehensive manner, and all the work has achieved satisfactory results, handing over a qualified answer sheet for 2024.

In 2025, WKF China and WBU Greater China will work together to strengthen inter-regional event cooperation, practice technology empowerment, innovate fields, expand tracks, and drive the high-quality development of the sports and combat industry. The key work will focus on the “integration of development”, namely “cross-disciplinary integration of development” to carry out business activities.

Specific implementation direction: First, “digital technology to empower the sports industry”; Second, “non-heritage martial arts to promote cultural diplomacy” are the two key directions.

I. “Digital Technology Empowering Sports Industry”: Under the current trend of accelerating global digitalisation, digital sports, as an emerging field, not only possesses innovative potentials on the technical level, but also provides diversified sports activities and service modes for society. As the only “Digital Sports” AI project shortlisted in other high-tech fields, “Digital Sports Internet Intelligence System”, led by Dr Yan Dinan, President of WKF China, President of WBU Greater China, and Life Noble Knight of Malta, was awarded the “Digital Sports” Artificial Intelligence Project by the Ministry of Education of China on 19th December in Beijing. As the only AI project shortlisted in other high-tech fields, “Digital Sports” won the finalist award (the highest award) of the 19th “Chunhui Cup” China Overseas Educated Personnel Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition hosted by the Ministry of Education on 19th December in Beijing.

The winning project uses artificial intelligence and internet technology to build intelligent venue management and optimise user experience, which not only leads the trend of digital sports industries and improves the management efficiency of events, but also helps to create a more comfortable experience for athletes and spectators. From on-site digital display to scientific allocation of resources, the importance of science and technology in sports has been highlighted. Through intelligent systems, event organisation, promotion and participation will become more efficient and convenient. The future development of digital sports focuses on cross-border integration, and behind the gorgeous appearance of sports is a deeper understanding and application of science and technology. It not only meets the diversified needs of modern people for sports, but also provides new opportunities for the promotion of healthy lifestyles and create a new industrial ecology through the combination of technology and sports. In the future, sports events will not only be a place for competition, but also a combination of science, technology and art, which will drive the enthusiasm of sports science and technology innovation, providing a new vision for the innovative education in scientific and technological development of the sports industry.

In 2025, we will actively explore the path of development of “New Quality Productivity”, and lead China’s digital sports research into the forefront of “Olympic AI Agenda” in the world.

At present, the first phase of “Digital Sports AI Refereeing System” has obtained the computer software copyright from the National Copyright Administration during the “Chunhui Cup” competition, and the State Intellectual Property Office has accepted the application for invention patent. In 2025, the project will formally enter into the results conversion and testing stage of the event platform.

“non-heritage martial arts to promote cultural diplomacy”. During 2023 and 2024, WKF World Free Fighting Federation in China has successfully held two sessions of “polish mountain Yanjia boxing non-heritage martial arts cultural exchanges”, attracted a number of people from the Canadian national martial arts team, the Polish national martial arts team, Bangladesh and dozens of other countries and regions. Nearly 100 martial arts athletes and enthusiasts to learn and exchange in China.

On August 8, the event was hosted by the Youth Committee of Sichuan Overseas Chinese Federation and Deyang Overseas Chinese Federation; organised by Shifang Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, Shifang Overseas Chinese Federation and Deyang Overseas Chinese Federation Youth Committee; co-organised by the Outreach Committee of Sichuan Provincial Working Committee of Zhigong Party, Sichuan European and American Alumni Association of Fade, Deyang Overseas Chinese Businessmen’s Association of Jinyang District, Shifang City Culture and Tourism Bureau, Shifang City Education and Sports Bureau, and Chengdu Zhitong Wushu Research Institute; and co-organised by the WKF World Wide Free Combat Federation, China Region, WKF China, WBU World Boxing Union Greater China, and polish mountain Yan Family Boxing National Martial Arts Association supported the “polish mountain sword” 2024 overseas disciples of Yan Family Boxing in Sichuan to search for their roots was successfully held in Shifang City Overseas Chinese Home. With the theme of “Promoting Chinese Culture, Inheriting Non-legacy Martial Arts, and Firming National Confidence”, the overseas disciples of Yen Family Martial Arts from Italy, UK and Poland went to Shifang City to discuss the sword of Yinghuashan Mountain, and to experience the profoundness of the excellent traditional Chinese culture and the long history of the Ba Shu culture.

On 6th November, with the theme of “sports practice folk diplomacy, carry forward the inheritance of non-heritage martial arts”, the “2024 polish mountain Yanjiaquan International Wushu Exchange Forum” was successfully held in Weiyuan County, Sichuan Province. Five organisations from China, Italy and France reached a cooperation intention to jointly promote the exchange of “Chinese culture” and “non-heritage martial arts” overseas, and to attract more outstanding overseas martial arts enthusiasts, especially overseas Chinese youth athletes to come to China to receive high level training from professional sports teams.

In 2025, we will continue to organise the “3rd Yinghua Mountain Yanjiaquan Non-Heritage Wushu Cultural Exchange Activity” with “Non-Heritage Wushu for Cultural Diplomacy” as the guiding direction. With the deepening of exchanges, we believe that more and more overseas Chinese youth and foreigners will appreciate the unique charm and profound heritage of “Chinese culture” and “non-heritage martial arts”. Under the “Belt and Road” initiative, we will also cultivate more talents with an international vision and cross-cultural communication skills.

At this annual meeting, the leadership team of the WKF World Kickboxing Federation China (the fourth organizing body) and the new leadership team of the WBU World Boxing Union Greater China were elected through nomination and recommendation, discussion and voting by the presidium, secretariat, and council (the official appointment will be announced on the official website in the near future).

Taking the “12th World Games” landing in Chengdu, China as an opportunity, the WKF World Kickboxing Federation China will vigorously promote “non-Olympic” martial arts fighting competitions in 2025. Set up: “Yuewudao Project Department”, “Mixed Martial Arts Project Department”, “Chinese Wrestling Project Department”, “Wushu Sanda Project Department”, “Wushu Routines Project Department”, “Intangible Cultural Heritage Wushu Project Department”, “K12 Youth Development Department”, “Digital Sports AI Research Department” eight departments, combined with the “cross-disciplinary integration and development” model, to carry out the new year’s work tasks.

In 2025, the WBU World Boxing Union Greater China will take into account both “professional boxing” and “amateur boxing” events. Organize the “China-Japan-Korea Professional Boxing Championship” and the “China-Japan-Korea Youth Amateur Boxing Invitational”. Promote through competitions, and invite senior Japanese and Korean boxing coaches who have trained professional boxing champions to come to China to give lectures. Improve the level of Chinese professional boxing and promote the development of amateur boxing among Chinese youth. Simultaneously create a “WBU White-collar Boxing” course system, develop a mass base for boxing, and expand mass boxing projects.

The highlight of this event is the “9th China Boxing and Martial Arts Ranking” awards ceremony, which is the oldest, largest and most influential annual event in the pan-martial arts industry across the country. It aims to select the annual awards of “Top Ten Outstanding Referees”, “Top Ten Outstanding Coaches”, “Top Ten Outstanding Athletes” and “Top Ten Outstanding Martial Arts Promotion Organizations” in 2024 after a month of nomination and review under the principle of “fairness, openness and justice”.

On November 6, 2024, the “2024 Yinghuashan Yanjiaquan International Martial Arts Exchange Forum” with the theme of “Sports practice people-to-people diplomacy and promote the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage of wushu” was successfully held at Deshang WushuTraining Base in Weiyuan County, Sichuan Province. Five institutions from China, Italy and France held conference exchanges in the form of “online + offline”.

During 2023 and 2024, we have successfully held two “Yinghuashan Yanjiaquan Intangible Cultural Heritage Martial Arts Exchange Activities”. Teaching points have been established in both China and Italy, and both have achieved very good results. Last August, with the strong support of the Sichuan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party, the Sichuan Western Exchange Students Association, and the Sichuan Overseas Chinese Association, the “2024 Yinghua Mountain Sword Discussion – Yan Family Boxing Style Overseas Disciples Sichuan Root-seeking Trip” event hosted by the Deyang Overseas Chinese Association and undertaken by the Shifang Overseas Chinese Association attracting overseas Yan Family Style disciples from Italy, United Kingdom and Poland to visit Deyang Shifang to seek their roots.

威远德尚武术的肖尧才教练与殷尉策教练在线下会议发表了自己的意见和建议。由我们五个单位，共同组成一个团队。共同促进海外的武术发展与交流，吸引更多优秀的海外武术爱好者们来到中国，接受专业运动队伍的高水平武术训练。通过这样的交流，双方不仅可以分享彼此的教学经验，更可以在武术与体育教育上携手共进，共同推动国际理解与友谊的发展。

Coach Xiao Yaocai and Coach Yin Weice of Weiyuan Deshang Wushu expressed their opinions and suggestions at the offline meeting. Our five units jointly formed a team. We jointly promoted the development and exchange of martial arts overseas, and attracted more outstanding overseas martial arts enthusiasts to come to China to receive high-level martial arts training from professional sports teams. Through such exchanges, both parties can not only share each other’s teaching experience, but also work together in martial arts and physical education to promote the development of international understanding and friendship.

未来，我们将继续致力于弘扬中华武术文化，培养具有国际视野和跨文化交流能力的优秀人才。随着交流日益加深，相信越来越多的人将会领略到武术的独特魅力以及其背后所蕴含的深厚文化底蕴。此次活动不仅中外友谊的开端，更是中欧文化与教育交流的新篇章。

In the future, we will continue to be committed for promoting Chinese martial arts culture and cultivating outstanding talents with international vision and cross-cultural communication capabilities. As exchanges deepen, I believe that more and more people will appreciate the unique charm of wushu and the profound cultural heritage behind it. This event is not only the beginning of friendship between China and foreign countries, but also a new chapter in China-Europe cultural and educational exchanges.
