"Wushu" in mandarin Chinese translates literally as "military art" but is better known as “martial art”. Traditional wushu defines the Chinese martial arts and has existed for centuries in a variety of styles. In the west, people are more familiar with the term "kung fu" which actually means skill/hard work.
It is a competition/performance based art which is both exciting and pleasing to the eye. The sport's main intent was the focus on athleticism, exercise, health and the ability to demonstrate wushu movements with a fighting-like spirit. Like any other art form the grace, flavour and style had to be embodied in the performance of every practicioner.
Wushu has been backed by the Olympic Council of Asia, and all its members to be entered as an olympic sport.
