A Pan American Wushu Federation (PAWF) Certified Judge is a qualified official recognized to judge continental-level wushu competitions. One level below the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) Certified Judge, PAWF Certified Judges play a crucial role in maintaining fair and professional officiating standards across Pan American wushu events.
Candidates must be nominated by their respective national federations, be legal residents of their submitting country, and demonstrate fluency in English, Chinese, or Spanish. Upon successfully passing the examination, new participants are certified as A-grade PAWF Taolu or Sanda judges and awarded official certification and badges. Existing judges who pass the exams will receive their updated grading per PAWF Technical Committee standards. Those who do not pass will receive a certificate of participation.
Future certification program will be announced through member federation.
