n the 24th of May 2020 we will be organizing the Cangzhou Qunying International Guo Shu Cup. This is a traditional competition therefore only traditional forms are to be played. The format of the competition this year is going to be different. The competition will be based on individual competitors. Each competitor must compete in ALL individual categories : hand form, short weapon and long weapon. The Duida will be an exhibition category and will not be compulsory.

The competitors are divided by age (will be checked) and gender:

Males 10 – 16

Females 10 – 16

Males 17+

Females 17+

Please remember all forms played must be traditional forms and be played with traditional weapons. The weapons must be rigid and not flexible like modern weapons.

It is important to us that the competitors take into account the kind of forms they play. Please do not play a modern wushu form or a form that has modern elements added to it. This can only lead to disappointment on the part of the participant.

In closing I would like to ask you to help spread the word about both competitions. There are few schools that concentrate on the traditional kung fu and we would like to be able to reach them.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you will participate. Send your list of participants to:

info@LiuHeMen.nl

Please include the name of the style which you play and the type of weapons which you will be playing.

Deadline 30 april 2020!
