IWUF 2004 International Judges Examination Course
The IWUF 2004 International Wushu Judges Examination Course will be held in Beijing, China in April, 2004. The course was originally scheduled for August 31-September 13, 2003 in Beijing. However, due to the SARS epidemic the IWUF decided to postpone the Course upon requests from the IWUF member federations.
The new Course will update the judges with the new Rules for International Wushu Competition which ash been revised with the objective requirement of the Olympic Games for general modern competitive sports to enable wushu to be in line with other international competitive sports so as to accelerate wushu's entry into the Olympics. It should further enhance wushu's technical development, encourage technical innovation, improve appreciativeness and be in favor of fair and impartial competitions. These opinions and plans were included in the competition program submitted to the IOC.
