Is there a difference between ancient Wushu and modern Wushu in China?

There is a big difference. The martial arts taught on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons are the real killing skills. Modern Sanda boxing and Taekwondo can't be regarded as real fighting, because the moves to attack key parts are limited and can only be regarded as regular sports. Just like badminton and table tennis, the skill expression of martial arts is the focus of attack. In ancient times, it was always a moment. Whoever wipes the other person's neck first wins. Empty-handed training, if you don't touch the point, whoever stops the other side first and kills the other side will win, so there will be no bad boxing moves in ancient martial arts that hit the other side on the forehead. You hit the other person on the forehead, and the other person can put his eyes in, hit your temple, listen to the cannon, and make your ears deaf. Who will lose? The ancient defense skills are mainly to protect the five senses and your crotch, which is completely different from modern martial arts. Modern Wushu pays attention to stopping opponents without hurting each other, which is suitable for modern society, but it is still very unfavorable to fight against ancient killer martial artists. The only thing in modern times that can fight against ancient martial artists is the special forces who fight to the death on the battlefield every day. A friend knows a Sanda practitioner. The old classmates of Sanda players have been special forces for many years. After they met, they went to the boxing ring for ten minutes. After the game, the special forces and Sanda players said, I just had a chance to kill you more than a dozen times, and Sanda players immediately got cold behind them and dared not pretend to be B.
