Why is "martial arts" also a culture?

The traditional Chinese cultural background determines this. It is important to look at it from the point of view of its creation.

The traditional Chinese culture is highly programmed.

First of all, there is the pursuit of the Tao. "Tao" is a law that governs everything in nature. The pursuit of "Tao" is the ideological basis for the emergence of martial arts. It influences people's way of thinking. Programming is expressed in the technical way of wushu, which gives rise to wushu routines.

Secondly, it is the reverence for ritual. Rituals are the rules and regulations of a certain period of time. Chonlai is the ethical and moral basis for the emergence of martial arts. From national ceremonies to people's life rituals, are full of "rituals".

Thirdly, Chinese people honor their teachers and ancestors, which makes it easy to pass on the martial arts. A programmed culture such as martial arts is naturally passed down.

So martial arts is also a culture.
