The World Wushu Championships (WWC) (Chinese: 世界武术锦标赛) are held every two years and are organised by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF). This official international wushu competition sees many countries from around the world participating. As wushu originated from China, China has always won the most number of medals in the competition.
