Is China Wushu capable of actual combat?

China Wushu has actual combat ability.

Sanda is a martial art in China and a modern martial art in China, and its actual combat is beyond doubt. In fact, Chinese wrestling in China's traditional martial arts is believed to be effective, and no one doubts it.

So are other traditional martial arts practical? Yes The real traditional Wushu training includes routine, solo exercise, basic skills, volleyball and confrontation training. Routine is to train the flexibility and coordination of the body. Individual exercises are equivalent to basic skills training. Practice basic skills. Platoon training is the ability to fight. Confrontation exercise is a sense of distance, psychological endurance, basic reaction ability and so on. This is roughly the same as the content of modern fighting training. So traditional Wushu is practical.

The misunderstanding now is to equate "practicing martial arts routines" with "practicing martial arts". Practicing routines is equivalent to gymnastics, with better physical qualities such as coordination and flexibility, but without strength training, fighting training and confrontation training, the actual combat ability may be stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is much worse than that of boxers who really practice comprehensively.

There is also a misunderstanding, that is, equating "knowing how to fight" with "strong ability to fight". An ordinary person may be good at playing, but he plays ordinary people. Zou Shiming is the champion of lightweight, but he is also a dish for heavyweight. The world champion may also be rubbed to the ground in the UFC ring. Aside from opponents, the environment and rules talk about actual combat, which is basically hooliganism.

At present, it can be said that China Wushu, including modern Wushu and traditional Wushu, is practical. However, modern Wushu, which only practices routines, is not called martial arts, nor can it represent China Wushu. At present, China Wushu has a poor record in MMA-regulated modern fighting arena, and even China athletes from traditional Wushu are rare.

Of course, it is said that in the vast mountains and forests of China, there are countless martial arts experts who are active and can surrender to the destroyer Conan. But I wait for the laity to be too thin to see. It hurts! ! !
