Wushu, also known as kung-fu or chinese martial arts, is one of the most demanding martial arts and has found a place in current mainstream movies. Wushu is a high cardio workout with extreme emphasis on stretching & body conditioning. Training is compared to gymnastics as sequences of basic skills & combos are taught as with various techniques in aerial & ground movements. International competition routines (govern by the IWuF) are also practiced including empty-hand & weapon-play often performed individually. Wushu remains to be identified as the most visually graceful yet powerful martial art for all ages. |
