History of Modern Wushu
As a centuries-old sport, wushu is
extremely rich in content and varied in
form. There are scores of schools and
hundreds and thousands of routines,
each composed of movements for
offensive and defensive purposes that
are arranged in set patterns. Regular
practice produces beneficial effects
not only on muscles and bones, but
also on the nervous, respiratory and
cardio-vascular systems. That is why
wushu is widely recommended as an
effective means of keeping fit.
Wushu, also known as modern wushu
or contemporary wushu, is both an
exhibition and a full-contact sport
derived from traditional Chinese
martial arts. It was created in China in
an attempt to nationalize the practice
of traditional Chinese martial arts. In
contemporary times, wushu has
become a truly international sport.
