The UTAR Wushu team delivered a remarkable performance at the Wucui 4.0 Wushu Competition 2025, held from 3 to 4 May 2025 at Dewan Serbaguna Johor Jaya. Represented by 18 dedicated Wushu exponents, the UTAR team demonstrated exceptional commitment and discipline throughout the two-day event.

Despite facing stiff competition, the UTAR athletes performed with confidence and technical precision. Their hard work and perseverance were rewarded with an impressive medal tally, comprising two gold medals, seven silver medals, eight bronze medals, and nine Excellent Awards. Many of the participants were first-time competitors, yet they displayed maturity and spirit beyond their years, reflecting the strength of UTAR’s training culture and team camaraderie.

The national-level championship, organised by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and supported by the Persatuan Wushu Negeri Johor, brought together talented Wushu athletes from universities across Malaysia in a celebration of martial arts, discipline, and cultural appreciation.

Now in its fourth edition, Wucui 4.0 continues to serve as a significant platform for university athletes to showcase their skills, deepen inter-university ties, and promote the values of sportsmanship and unity through the traditional Chinese martial art of Wushu. The competition was conducted with great enthusiasm, featuring participants across a variety of Taolu (form) categories.

Among the highlights of the competition were the outstanding performances in both individual and group categories. The UTAR team’s success in the group events particularly underscored their unity and coordination, hallmarks of a well-prepared and cohesive team.

The event not only celebrated athletic excellence but also strengthened bonds among students from diverse institutions, fostering cultural appreciation and mutual respect.
