What is Wushu? 武 术

Mind + Body + Spirit  (精 + 气 + 神)

"Wushu" in mandarin Chinese translates literally as "military art" but is better known as “martial art”. In the west, people are more familiar with the term "kung fu" which actually means skill or hard work.

Wushu originated in China and is an important part of the Chinese people's
cultural heritage. It was originally developed as a self defense. It slowly
evolved into traditional styles among different Chinese families and clans. It
became China's national sport during the 1950's. Today, the sport is
widespread throughout China enabling the country to develop the best wushu
athletes. This will continue as China looks to have modern wushu as an event in
the Olympics.

The sport's main focus is on the ability to demonstrate wushu movements with
a fighting-like spirit, coupled with grace, flavor and style, making it both
exciting and pleasing to the eye.

Standard routines are Chang Quan (long fist), Nan Quan (southern fist), Taiji
Quan, Taiji Jian (taiji sword), Jian Shu (sword play), Dao Shu (broad sword
play), Gun Shu (cudgel play), Qiang Shu (spear play). Modern wushu has
"taolu"(forms) and Sanda (Chinese kick boxing).

Most people know Li Lian Jie aka Jet Li from the film industry. He is one of
China's most prominent modern wushu athletes with the Beijing Wushu Team
who then progressed into the film industry with his acquired wushu skills.

The sport has gained popularity and has spread throughout the world as an
exhilarating sport for athletes, enthusiasts and fans alike.
