“We consider wushu kung fu to be the most beneficial sport globally, suitable for individuals from all walks of life. Our passion for wushu kung fu led us to believe in its essential nature, pioneering its development in Türkiye and globally. Beyond being a sport, it has become a way of life, impacting various aspects of our lives. To promote this, we have undertaken significant efforts, resulting in wushu's evolution into a family-oriented sport,” says Abdurrahman.

Traditional wushu includes various styles such as Tai Chi, Shaolin Kung Fu, and Wing Chun, each with its techniques, forms and philosophies. These styles often emphasise different aspects of martial arts, such as striking, grappling and weapon use. Abdurrahman Akyuz and his wife, Fatma Akyuz, are a dynamic duo in the world of wushu. Abdurrahman leads the Turkish Wushu Federation, tirelessly promoting the sport across the nation. Meanwhile, Fatma's expertise shines as she coaches Türkiye's national wushu team, guiding young talents toward success.

“My father brought us to China to pursue a better education. Since 2009, we have been shuttling between Türkiye and China, dedicating ourselves to continuous work and training. Both my parents encourage and motivate us to represent Türkiye more effectively. Our family's united effort has led to our success and happiness,” says Elif Akyuz.

The gesture sparked controversy and mixed reactions among the audience and participants. The world supported Akyuz's display as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
