Is .wushu a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?

A niche domain for Chinese martial-arts schools, clubs and events; meaningful to that community but too narrow to carry broad value.
wushu and kung fu schools, martial-arts federations, competition organizers, and fitness brands leaning on Chinese martial-arts identity, mostly small operators rather than volume registrants
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round (flagship tier). Their catalog line: “The art and sport of Chinese martial discipline.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet: an Asian-origin body-practice discipline whose own native word is the string, sold as primary identity to the schools, instructors and practitioner associations who already call themselves that, and it only works if that dispersed practitioner community treats the name as its home rather than treating it as a generic web word.
Same bet in sport form: a federation-governed discipline name owned by no single company, where the buyers are clubs, national bodies and coaching outfits, and success depends on a real but non-universal global participation base adopting the string collectively.
Also a participatory-discipline noun whose registrants are schools, instructors, clubs and equipment sellers, but it is a shorter, more commercially broad Western-market word with far more incidental commerce behind it than a niche named martial art carries.
