History

At the 1993 World Wushu Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a preparatory committee was created for the creation of the Pan American Wushu Federation. In 1994, Mexico hosted a "Pan American Wushu Championships" while the federation was still being formed. [6] The following year at the 1995 World Wushu Championships, the PAWF was officially formed between members from Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and the United States. The president of the federation was selected to be Anthony Goh of the United States of America Wushu Kungfu Federation. [6]

In 1996, the first official edition of the Pan American Wushu Championships took place from November 7 to 11 at Argentina's CeNARD which consisted of taolu and sanda events. [6] In 2006, the Pan American Junior Wushu Championships were first organized beside the adult championships. In 2015, a completely separate competition, the Pan American Kung Fu and Taijiquan Championships, began to be organized by the PAWF.
