Policy on Gracious Professionalism
The United States of America Wushu-Kungfu Federation has adopted a Policy on Gracious Professionalism to reinforce the values that guide our community. This policy promotes a culture of excellence, integrity, respect, and sportsmanship across all USAWKF and sanctioned activities. It applies to all participants—including athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, volunteers, and spectators—and emphasizes positive conduct, fair play, and mutual respect. Through this policy, USAWKF aims to ensure that all events and programs reflect the highest standards of professionalism and uphold the values of the sport of wushu.
