Dear members of the Wushu community,
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you all to the 2025 European Traditional Wushu Championships in beautiful Crete. This unique location, with its deep historical roots in democracy and community, provides a wonderful backdrop for our celebration of the traditional Wushu art.
Just as the ancient Greeks came together to share ideas, values and skills, we gather here to honor the core of our sport-harmony, discipline and tradition. This event is much more than a competition; it is a celebration of the diversity, respect, friendship and unity that Wushu brings across borders.
All of you together make this championship more than just a sporting event. You are the soul of the Wushu community, and your presence makes this a memorable experience.
With many countries participating, this tournament is a wonderful opportunity to not only strengthen our traditions but also forge new friendships and connections. Let this event be an inspiration to preserve the valuable Chinese legacy of traditional Wushu and pass it on to future generations.
Finally, I would like to express my thanks to the President of the Hellenic Wushu Kungfu Federation, Mr. Karapanos and volunteers who work tirelessly to make this championship possible. Your commitment and dedication show the true spirit of cooperation that we cherish in Wushu.
Let us celebrate this special occasion together and embrace the power of our shared passion. Together, we will continue to build a future where Wushu, the Chinese heritage, continues to flourish.
Good luck to all the teams!
Let’s Bring Wushu Together!
