Why is China Wushu Lost?

China's transformation of Wushu was unsuccessful, his thoughts were backward, and his technical and institutional reforms failed.

The martial arts of human beings began in the war, and it is a summary of bloody battles on the battlefield. With gunpowder, martial arts withdrew from the battlefield and became a personal skill. With the development of social productive forces, people's living conditions have changed greatly, and the demand for Wushu has also changed. The offensive and defensive value of Wushu has weakened, and its fitness value has gradually increased to become the main means and technology of Wushu. However, many traditional martial arts, whether admitted or not, stick to the tradition and do not reform. Because of the lack of actual combat, the actually applied technology will lose actual combat experience. Many Taekwondo have been packaged according to the business model, providing paid services and highlighting the function of etiquette education. However, China Wushu still requires students to kowtow to teachers and repeat monotonous basic exercises. The stage system of karate and taekwondo is the key to global success. It is people-oriented, achieving short-term goals step by step and completing long-term goals. At every stage of the short-term goal, there are spiritual rewards, which make the black belt symbolizing the master more realistic in the foreseeable future.

However, China Wushu still has great vitality, which includes social philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine, ethics, military science, aesthetics and so on, which is incomparable to any other Wushu in the world. China Wushu needs reform and more people to participate.
