Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The president of the Rwanda Kungfu-Wushu Federation, Marc Uwiragiye says they are leaving no stone unturned to develop the sport in the country.<\/p>\n

The federation had a mini Chinese Kungfu festival last week to promote togetherness among its members and Uwiragiye emphasized that they are bent on developing the sport now that the pandemic is going down.<\/p>\n

“We are working on the development of martial arts as we had spent two years without practicing and holding various martial arts activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Uwiragiye said.<\/p>\n

“We staged the show to promote unity and togetherness among all martial arts in Rwanda. Martial arts are symbol of unity among our members.”<\/p>\n

Uwiragiye further emphasized that the event was essential as it portrayed to the outside world that they are united and ready to aid development through the sport.<\/p>\n

“The show was very meaningful to us as Rwandans and we have to demonstrate to the world that we are together to promote sustainable development through martial arts.” He added.<\/p>\n

The Federation was established a decade and half ago to promote cultural exchanges between Rwanda and China.<\/p>\n

Currently, it boasts of 4000 members across the country which includes 2500 performers.<\/p>\n
