What China Wushu is popular in Malaysia?

There are more than 6 million Chinese in Malaysia, which is the place with the largest number of Chinese in Southeast Asia except Indonesia, and the place with the best preserved China culture. Malaysia is one of the most popular countries in Southeast Asia. According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, China people brought martial arts here when they came to Malaysia. Nowadays, Yang-style Tai Chi and Chen-style Tai Chi are widely spread in Malaysia, and 18 kinds of martial arts such as knives, guns, swords and sticks can be seen everywhere. Unlike the legendary "Wulin League Leader", the Malaysian Wushu Association is headquartered in an inconspicuous small room in the Malaysian Olympic Committee building, but it governs more than 500 Wulin Clubs in Malaysia and is recognized by the Malaysian government as the only highest institution representing all Malaysian Wushu groups. "Wulin first" was once the highest goal. Malaysian Wushu Association was founded in April 1978, and Mr. Long Jihe has been the secretary-general of the Association ever since. Longjihe told the reporter of Global magazine that Malaysian Wulin has a long history. In earlier years, some China people came to Malacca and other places to escape or make a living. Later, they either opened a martial arts school or practiced their fists at home, and taught martial arts mainly by mentoring. At that time, there were many hills of various sects, and they often fought. "Wulin first" is their highest goal, and there is no interaction between them. In the early Malaysian Wulin, traditional boxing methods were mainly popular, namely "hard boxing" or "foreign boxing", such as Changquan, Hongquan, Nanquan, Jason Wu Boxing and Wing Chun Boxing (some moves used by Bruce Lee belong to Wing Chun Boxing). They pay attention to skills or fighting, strike opponents with hard power, and practice Tai Ji Chuan, Mianquan and Mulan Boxing. Things are different now. The Malaysian government and martial arts circles encourage martial arts fitness, but do not encourage fighting or fighting. So now "Family Boxing" is more popular, and more people practice Tai Ji Chuan, mainly for physical exercise. An important milestone of this turning point is the establishment of Malaysian Wushu Association in 1978. The establishment of the association has unified the "Wulin" of many hills in Malaysia. Since then, the development direction of Malaysian Wushu has changed to the routine of learning and adapting to international Wushu competitions, and it has worked hard with other countries to push Wushu to the international sports stage and make Wushu an Olympic event. In order to adapt to the pursuit of international sports and the routine development of Wushu, Malaysian Wulin people are actively promoting Malaysian Wushu to be standardized, scientific, competitive and systematic. In 2008, Malaysian Wushu Association began to implement the martial arts grade promotion system. According to the years that individuals have been engaged in Wushu training and activities, as well as the level of mastering Wushu technology and theory, research results, Wushu accomplishment and understanding of Wushu culture, Wushu practitioners are rated as nine grades and given corresponding badges. Among them, the first, second and third bits are the initial bits, and gold, red and cyan "eagle" badges are given respectively; Four, five and six are in the middle, and gold, red and cyan "Leopard" badges are awarded; Seven, eight and nine are senior posts, and gold, red and cyan "tiger" badges are awarded. In addition, it also awarded Wushu honorary title, Wulin honorary title, Wulin senior honorary title and Wulin highest honorary title. Longjihe said that in order to push Malaysian Wushu to the international level, Malaysia has been actively hiring martial arts teachers from China since 1987. At present, Malaysia has become the fastest developing country of martial arts activities outside Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Cai Fengyun, a Malaysian female Tai Chi athlete, won gold medals in the 2005 and 2007 World Wushu Championships and the 2006 Asian Games. However, Vietnam has also made rapid progress and become a rising star in Southeast Asia. At present, another feature of Malaysian Wushu is that it includes dragon and lion dances. Dragon Crane said that in Malaysia, dragon and lion dancing is a part of martial arts, because some footwork and movements of dragon and lion dancing are basic movements in martial arts, and dragon and lion dancing were founded by martial arts schools in the past. In addition, the current Malaysian Wushu leaders are not relying on Wushu as in the past, but some people who are passionate about Wushu. Long Jihe himself claimed to be ostentatious, but he said that as a leader of martial arts organizations, he should pay attention to serving people with "morality", unite with "Wulin", rely on Wulin to "change their minds", treat people sincerely and fairly. The Secret of Wulin Master Malaysia has a population of more than 6 million Chinese, the largest number of Chinese in Southeast Asia except Indonesia, and the best-preserved China culture. In history, most Chinese first came to Malaysia to escape or make a living, and there were not many martial arts masters, so there were few recorded martial arts masters in history, and there were no "champions" and "chivalrous men". However, some people say that Malaysia also has some disciples and descendants of Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia and other sects, and I believe there will be "masters" in the Wulin. In order to find this Malaysian Wulin "master", the reporter inquired about it in many ways and was fortunate to find Mr. Lin Yongmao, a consultant of the local "One Finger Zen" Association. When the reporter met Mr. Lin happily, he was somewhat disappointed. He first told reporters that he didn't have "unparalleled martial arts" and "stunts", but then he revealed something about Malaysian Wulin to reporters. Lin Yongmao said that most overseas Chinese come to foreign countries to practice martial arts for fitness and physical fitness. Early martial arts fighting is rare now, so more people practice Tai Ji Chuan and other "soft skills" such as Qigong, just for fitness and medical treatment. In recent years, with the increase of people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, some martial arts from China have flowed into Malaysia, and "One Finger Zen" is one of them. Malaysian "One Finger Zen" Association was established around 1993, and its main purpose is also to keep fit and cure diseases.
