Traditional Chinese Martial Arts

The measure of Wushu is not how high you can kick or how many circles you can rotate. Wushu is not single athletics but comprehensive sports. In fact, martial arts pursuing competitions pursue height of kicking and the number of rotations violates the basic principle. According to the single competition, Wushu has no advantage because the force of practitioner is great but not greater than a weight lifter’s; his height is high but not higher than a high jumper’s; his steps are steady but not more steadier than a gymnast’s; his degree of balance is good but not better than a acrobat’s. But Wushu converges these together and then breathes new life of Kungfu into it, which will become fantastic and supreme. This is traditional Chinese martial arts. (From Words of Chan by Shi Yongxin)
