This August, Ji Hong Wushu & Tai Chi College travelled to Markham, Ontario, for the 2025 International Martial Arts Festival & National Championships, the annual Canadian qualifier for global wushu events. Led by Master Hongyuan Luo and Master Jennifer Gu, the Ji Hong team composed of 31 athletes, tied for the largest delegation at the competition, which gathered a total of 217 athletes. Across a variety of disciplines, Ji Hong athletes vied for the opportunity to represent the country at four upcoming events: the 17th World Wushu Championships, the 10th World Junior Wushu Championships (qualifier for the 2026 Youth Olympic Games), the 5th Pan American KungFu Championships, and the 10th World KungFu Championships.

Master Jennifer Daijuan Gu, vice president of the Confederation of Canadian Wushu Organizations, vice president of the Wushu Kung Fu Alberta, and Vice President of the Jihong Wushu Tai Chi College, was recently appointed as a member of the Judge Committee of the IWUF with a term lasting until 2027. This is the first time in history that a representative from the Canadian martial arts community has held this prestigious position to which only 7 are appointed worldwide.

In 2024, Ji Hong was proud to have students attend both the 4th World Taijiquan Championships and the 9th World Junior Wushu Championships, two global biennial events representing the pinnacle of competition.
