Came across this on IWUF website on grading and I saw this about gongfa:
(5) Gongfa events: long-pole wrestling, bare-handed sparring on stakes, bare-handed sparring on logs (based on the required events set in "Wushu Gongfa sport lessons" endorsed by the Chinese Wushu Association);
(6) Weight classification of combat events and Gongfa events
1) 32Kg (≤32Kg)
2) 40 Kg (>32Kg≤40Kg)
3) 48 Kg (>40Kg≤48Kg)
4) 52 Kg (>48Kg≤52Kg)
5) 56 Kg (>52Kg≤56Kg)
6) 60 Kg (>56Kg≤60Kg)
7) 65 Kg (>60Kg≤65Kg)
8) 70 Kg (>65Kg≤70Kg)
9) 75 Kg (>70Kg≤75Kg)
10) 80 Kg (>75Kg≤80Kg)
11) 85 Kg (>80Kg≤85Kg)
12) 85 Kg and above (>85Kg)
IV. Age Classification
1. Group A: 13 years old and under
2. Group B: 14 to 17 years old (including 17 years old)
3. Group C: 18 to 35 years old (including 35 years old)
4. Group D: 36 to 59 years old (including 59 years old)
5. Group E: 60 years old and above
Now gongfa is such a generic term meaning literally fist method, could anyone explain what is it about under IWUF interpretation? I would presume this what they are trying to do is to bring traditional martial arts into the modern fray.
