The Canadian National Wushu / Kung-Fu and Taiji Championships is the national wushu competition for Canadian athletes. The event is held annually and consists of participating schools from across the country. The competition is coordinated through Wushu Canada, the national organization that represents the sport in Canada and is recognized by the IWUF. Every two years, the best athletes from the competition are selected to represent Canada on the national wushu team prior to entering international competitions.
