Wushu.....?

What can you tell me about wushu? Eventually, I want to learn it.





Thanks. :-)|||To describe wushu, it is best to understand the philosophy of its teaching. Every movement must exhibit sensible combat application and aestheticism. The wealth of wushu%26#039;s content, the beauty of wushu movents, the difficulty factor, and the scientific training methods are the song of the elements that set wushu apart from martial arts. Routines are performed solo, paired or in groups, either barehanded or armed with traditional Chinese weaponry. In short, wushu is the most exciting martial art to be seen, felt, and ultimately practiced.





How is wushu related to kung fu and taijiquan? %26quot;Wushu%26quot; is the correct term for all Chinese martial arts therefore kung fu and wushu were originally the same. During the last thirty years, wushu in Mainland China was modernized so that there could be a universal standard for training and competing. In essence, much emphasis has been placed on speed, difficulty, and presentation. Consequently, wushu has become an athletic and aesthetic performance and competitive sport, while %26quot;kung fu%26quot; or traditional wushu remains the traditional fighting practice. Taijiquan is a major division of wushu, utilizing the body%26#039;s internal energy or %26quot;chi%26quot; and following the simple principle of %26quot;subduing the vigorous by the soft.%26quot;





Although still in budding stages in many countries, wushu is an established international sport. In 1990, wushu was inducted as an official medal event in the Asian Games. Since then World Championships have taken place with 56 nations participating. Wushu is also vying for the Olympic games in the 21st century.|||Hey, I%26#039;ve done kung fu wushu for years now its the best Martial arts i think there is, it teaches you discipline and confidence also alot more, wushu is not about winning or grads its about understanding and restraint, I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ll get it if you ever do wushu, but i think you should and even if you don%26#039;t like it its worth ago!
