what is wushu game

Wushu is a Chinese martial art that is both an exhibition and a full-contact sport derived from traditional Chinese martial arts. It was developed in 1949 in an effort to standardize the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts. Wushu is played in numerous styles, with weapons or with bare hands, and the weapons used in the game include sword, broad sword, short sword, straight sword, spear, and gadget. Wushu is an official event at the Asian Games, East Asian Youth Games, Southeast Asian Games, World Combat Games, and in various other multi-sport events. Competitive wushu is composed of two disciplines: taolu (forms) and sanda (sparring) . Taolu involves martial art patterns and maneuvers for which competitors are judged and given points according to specific rules. The forms comprise basic movements based on aggregate categories of traditional Chinese martial art styles and can be changed for competitions to highlight one’s strengths. Sanda, or Sanshou, is the other main discipline of Wushu, which is a combat sport that’s a mixture of Western and Chinese boxing. The object of the game is to score more points than your opponents, and the person with the most points after all competitors in a specific event has performed, wins.
