As exchanges and cooperation on martial arts between China and Romania are prospering, the sport strongly connects the two nations.

Many locally popular clubs in Romania, such as Baia Mare Wing Chun Club and Romania Shanghai Martial Arts Club, have been promoting Chinese martial arts and traditional Chinese culture for a long time. Their members also perform at international competitions.
