Wushu Tim

Are you ready to enter the Kung Fu world? Former Olympic athlete, Tim Sastrowiardjo, will introduce you to the basics of Wushu, a Chinese Martial art. Sign-ups are now open for the Wushu workshop during ASIAN PRIDE at Pride Amsterdam at Pride Park (Vondelpark), Amsterdam on Saturday, 26 July.

Tim Sastrowiardjo (he/him) is a former professional Wushu athlete and Olympic Youth Games bronze medalist. He was one of the first — and still few — openly gay athletes to have represented Wushu at an international elite level.

His presence in the sport helped increase visibility and representation for queer Asians in martial arts. After stepping back in 2019 to focus on mental health, Tim made a return in 2022 and became European Champion in Taiji / Tai Chi.

Today, Tim studies Applied Psychology and is committed to creating inclusive spaces where identity, movement, and mental wellbeing can coexist. Drawing from both his athletic background, his study, and lived experience, he aims to support others in reconnecting with their body, culture, and mind.
