Regarding traditional martial arts, it is said that "medicine and martial arts are one and the same". Only ask a master of Chinese medicine!

I personally believe that first of all, traditional martial artists in the long-term practice often encountered the problem of injuries and illnesses, and thus the treatment of trauma and sprains, etc. have a wealth of experience (the truth of the disease into a doctor).

Secondly, the use of meridian theory (mainly pointing and qigong) in all schools of traditional martial arts and the connection with medicine is a very natural thing.

Once again, most traditional martial artists are from the military, and they know more about the human anatomy than the doctors who were bound by feudalism at that time (I've read about doctors asking generals to teach them about internal organs in history), and many of the Tibetan burial masters are highly skilled in medicine for the same reason.

Additionally, traditional martial arts focus on more than just the positive aspects, I personally believe that the "martial arts" knowledge of a collection of various aspects of knowledge and skills, this collection includes elements of health, philosophy, striking techniques, and even aesthetics, morality, etc., which is the health and some of the exercises of traditional Chinese medicine needless to say.

Of course, from the Chinese medicine side of the concept of "flowing water does not rot, a door door-hinge does not wormwood" also advocate people to exercise, wushu as a kind of body from a comprehensive exercise is of course the first choice.
