USA Team Fund

Simply put, the World Tournament is the Olympics of Chinese martial arts. Held every three to four years in a prestigious city around the world, the World Kuoshu (Kung-Fu) Championships gathers the best martial artists from nations worldwide to compete for the greatly revered title of World Champion.

By winning 1st place in their divisions at the US Nationals this past July, these individuals have secured a spot on the US National team in either full contact fighting (lei tai) or forms. Having produced the most National Champions of any team, Grandmaster Buckley and Master Newman have been selected as the USA National Coaches for their eighth and fifth times, respectively! The World Tournament is scheduled from October 23-26, 2025 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The best martial artists in the world will compete in forms, weapons, two-man sets, and full contact lei tai fighting.

The Huang, Chien-Liang Cup (Team Grand Champion) is awarded to the country whose athletes accumulate the highest combined number of gold, silver, and bronze medals across all types of competition. The USA Team has won the Best Nation award in the last six world tournaments, and Bok Fu Do team members are playing a part in securing a seventh for the USA!
