Is China Wushu a lie?

I studied martial arts 1 1 year, and studied Shaolin Boxing, Tai Ji Chuan and Xingyi Boxing. The teachers I admire are very talented and practical. I have also practiced boxing and Sanda with friends from professional teams in the city. Let me talk about it in combination with my own situation.

There is no doubt that China Wushu has the ability to fight. No matter in China, Shaolin Wudang, as long as this person learns real kung fu, he has basic fighting ability, and many martial arts fighting ideas are still very advanced. In many boxing techniques, the so-called ideas of breathing, keeping the center and exerting strength as a whole also exist in modern fighting techniques. But first, people's limbs are roughly the same. No matter how high-level martial artists fight, they are all similar to boxing, Sanda and Muay Thai. It is basically impossible to produce the effect of martial arts films. Second, although Wushu has the ability of actual combat, why do some people say that Wushu is fake and ostentatious? Personally, I think there are several reasons for Wushu itself.

First of all, Wushu training pays too much attention to routines and ignores actual combat practice. Routine is of course composed of offensive and defensive actions, but only practicing routine means only simulating actual combat training and being divorced from reality. Then once you encounter a real fighting scene, it will inevitably be very different from the usual practice, so it is naturally impossible to use what you practice. It's like a swimmer who only breathes, stretches his arms and kicks on the shore, but never goes into the water. Once such a person enters the water, the result can be imagined. Although all factions have some training methods of simulated fighting, such as Shaolin Boxing, the pusher of Taiji Chuan, it is still different from real fighting. As for many old boxers who are used to being only a "spokesman" (let you straighten your hand and say "Now you hit me, I'll tell you how to break it"), it is even more divorced from reality.
