You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:06, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''International Wushu Federation''' ('''IWUF''') is an international sport organization and is the governing body for [[wushu (sport)|wushu]] in all its forms worldwide. The IWUF is recognized by the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC), and is also a member of the [[Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations|ARISF]], [[GAISF]], [[International University Sports Federation|FISU]], [[IWGA]], and the [[International School Sport Federation|ISF]].

== Organization ==
The main governing bodies of the IWUF are the President and the Executive Board, the Secretariat, the Congress which meets every two years, and various technical committees. The IWUF's headquarters are located in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland and [[Beijing]], China. The current president of IWUF is Mr. Zhongwen Gou of China (2019-present).

As of 2020, there are 155 national federations affiliated with the IWUF which are organized under the following continental federations:<ref>((Cite web|title=About IWUF|url=http://www.iwuf.org/about-iwuf/|access-date=2020-12-15|website=IWUF|language=en-US))</ref>

* Oceania Wushu Kungfu Federation

==History==
On October 3, 1990 in Beijing during the 11th [[Asian Games]], the IWUF was established after four years of development by a preparatory committee from the Chinese Wushu Association (CWA).<ref>((Cite web|date=2020-09-28|title=A Look at One of the IWUF's Remarkable Founders - General Giuseppe Falconi|url=http://30anniversary.iwuf.org/2020/09/28/a-look-at-one-of-the-iwufs-remarkable-founders-general-giuseppe-falconi/|access-date=2021-01-06|website=IWUF 30th Anniversary Website|language=en-US))</ref> Since 1991, the IWUF has held 15 [[World Wushu Championships]] and has helped over 100 federations ([http://www.iwuf.org/about-iwuf/member-federations/ List of member federations ''External'']) around the globe to organize their own championships and national tournaments.<ref>((cite news|title=I.W.F.

The IWUF has redefined the definition of sport wushu, dividing it into two main disciplines: [[Taolu (martial arts)|taolu]] (forms), and [[Sanda (Sport)|sanda]] (unarmed combat).
