Happy Lunar New Year from the USC US-China Institute!
Los Angeles International Wushu Tournament 2013
The Shaolin Wushu Center hosts the 4th annual International Chinese Wushu Tournament.
This year marks the fourth year that the Shaolin Wushu Center, L.A. will host an International Chinese Wushu Tournament in Los Angeles.
The organizers will invite teams from all countries (and regions) to participate in this competition. We anticipate that this tournament will be a great gathering place to make new friends and renew old friendships, exchange skills, encourage teamwork, improve together, and further promote cultural exchange through our common bond of Chinese Wushu.
During the tournament weekend, activities will include traditional and contemporary wushu competition, wushu performance, the exchange of martial skills and cultural exchange.
A Masters' Wushu Demonstration will be featured prior to the tournament from 9:00 am to 9:30 am, with the tournament set for 10:00 to 5:30 PM.
The Shaolin Wushu Center announces the fourth annual Los Angeles International Wushu Tournament 2013 on Saturday, May 25, 2013.
