What's the difference between traditional Wushu and competitive Wushu?

China traditional Wushu has a long history, based on fighting and taking Chinese culture as its foundation. However, the development of modern Wushu is worrying.

1840 (twenty years of Daoguang), the British invaders launched the Opium War against the ancient feudal China, and smashed the door of the decadent and fragile Qing government with cannons. The Chinese nation began a course of humiliation, suffering, exploration and struggle for more than a hundred years, and cold weapons gradually withdrew from the battlefield. At the same time, traditional Wushu has also fallen into an unprecedented abyss. Coupled with modern wars and various sports, Wulin stopped for nearly a hundred years. People have doubts and deviations about traditional culture and traditional martial arts. Some people think that everything in the West is good! China is backward in culture! China Wushu can't be used in actual combat, but foreign Wushu is better!

With the reform and opening up, it has also brought vitality to China Wushu. However, most modern martial arts are different from real traditional martial arts.

Competitive sports refers to scientific and systematic training and competition in order to beat opponents, achieve excellent sports results, and maximize and improve the potential of individuals and groups in physical, physical, psychological and sports abilities. This is especially true of competitive Wushu, which is divided into two categories: routine and Sanda, and routine is divided into unarmed and equipment. Modern Chinese Dictionary Wushu, also known as Wushu or Wushu, is a traditional sport in China. Its content is to combine kicking, hitting, throwing, taking, falling, hitting, chopping, stabbing and other actions into various offensive and defensive fighting techniques, routines and unarmed equipment single-potential exercises according to certain rules. Wushu has an extremely broad mass base and is a valuable cultural heritage accumulated and enriched by the people of China in the long-term social practice. It is one of the outstanding cultural heritages in China. At present, the popular competitive Wushu is a kind of sport which focuses on competition and performance and is close to sports in essence. China traditional Wushu, also known as Wushu, is a kind of fighting in essence, which is different from ordinary sports. "Sports is a kind of fitness, but fighting is a game of survival", which can be clearly seen from the recent American underground black boxing competition, which is hotly discussed in the internet, magazines and newspapers. Black market boxing is a real "unrestricted fighting". Participants can attack their opponents in any way except by using weapons. It is the fighting competition with the highest KO rate in the world. This cruel competition is something that other boxing competitions want to do but can never do: choose the most practical technology. Any unrealistic technology will be exposed in this life-and-death contest. The level of black market fighters is really high. Those champions, Muay Thai champions, fighting champions, were killed here in a few minutes. Mike tyson, the world champion, was once a world heavyweight champion and was considered as one of the best heavyweight boxers in the world. In his heyday, he defeated the invincible powerful and famous opponent many times with a devastating style and was once one of the most threatening boxers. Its powerful iron fist makes many opponents shudder and sigh! He was put in prison for personal problems, and met several black market boxers during his sentence. 1in April, 1992, Tai Sen was sent to Indianapolis Juvenile Rehabilitation Center to serve his sentence. Here, a fugitive who fights black market boxing despises the world champion and often provokes Tai Sen for no reason. After a long time, the champion's unbearable anger finally broke out. He jumped at his opponent like a lion, but in real combat, he was in the boxing ring. His opponent kicked him in the head and hit him in the ribs with his knee. It was not the prison guard who arrived in time and almost lost his life. Tai Sen, who was black and blue, was taken to the hospital. Upon examination, Tai Sen's head was violently shaken, his nose was kicked off, his ribs were broken and he was injured in many places. Afterwards, Tai Sen resolutely refused to let his lawyer publish this matter, in order to maintain his image as a tough guy.

Black-market boxing is not a competitive competition, but a real battle with life, a real actual combat. Its leader should belong to Anthony Mascu, and this "devil of hell" is called the killing machine. He squats 10- 15 groups every day, weighs more than 400 kilograms, and sweeps his legs with iron bars and granite. The daily exercise is more than 12 hours. Against the grizzly bear, he won 167 and 14 times to kill his opponent ko. This lethality and technique basically meet the requirements of China ancient traditional martial arts. China martial arts also pays attention to killing the enemy by sealing the throat with blood. In ancient times, it was necessary to stand "life and death" before the game. The fundamental purpose of Wushu is to attack and attack, without hierarchy, rules and deduction. In ancient times, China's martial arts masters went through a "life-and-death pass", and the outcome would be decided in one breath. Antony Mascu, the "devil of hell", can't escape this rule. In a match between 65438 and 0995, Mascu, who was in full swing, made an unprecedented mistake and was killed by Alain Pedilla, who is known as a "madman".

At present, the popular fighting competition is a kind of sports and competitive sports with strong ornamental, entertainment and competitiveness. They are very different from real fighting skills. They emphasize the conditions of competition, pay attention to the equality of rules, grade, time and rules. Even MMA, which is considered to be the closest and most popular mixed fighting, is no exception. MMA players can use various techniques such as boxing, kicking, wrestling, locking and twisting. What makes people feel the most real is the ground battle where they wrestle together, which makes people go into a misunderstanding. Let's take a look at the black market boxing match, and we will have the answer. Black market boxers never fight their opponents in close combat, but sweep their legs and punch their opponents ko in the middle and long distance. In other words, the real wrestling, locking and twisting skills are not needed. This can also prove that the skills of China Wushu are: kicking, hitting, throwing and grabbing instead of kicking, hitting, throwing and grabbing. In the early 1990s, the author had read the book "On the Art of Fighting" by Mr. Sun, which made people fondle it. The distinction between "falling" and "falling" makes people really understand the real technology used by the ancients in actual combat, while the original "falling" is a technical method of actively falling to the ground, which corrects the correctness that China Wushu is kicking, hitting, taking and falling instead of kicking, hitting, taking and falling.

Since the late 1970s and 1980s, Sanda has been developing in China for more than 30 years, but it has never been able to find its own position, and it is hesitant to inherit and innovate. It is very important for the future development of Sanda to deeply understand the training methods and techniques of learning traditional Wushu and Blackstone Boxing. In today's society, we can't want the blood of Black Rock Spring, nor can we stay at the low level of kicking and beating. Personally, I think the way out for Sanda lies in: First of all, it must be different from other fighting events, with distinctive China characteristics, and its aggressiveness and appreciation should also stand out and be better summarized. Only in this way can Sanda go abroad and go to the world!

China Wushu not only has self-defense skills that must be killed, but also has any elements that meet the needs of modern competitive arena, which are rich enough to be used on the spot. Among the murals unearthed from the Qin tomb in Fenghuang Mountain, Jiangling, Hubei Province, and the stone statues collected in Nanyang Han Painting Museum, Henan Province, competitive martial arts has existed since ancient times. From the scenes in the painting, we can clearly see the battle scenes of ancient warriors in China, and the characters are lifelike. What's more interesting is that there is actually a third person similar to the referee in the picture. From the picture, we can see that.

Modern Wushu can only be recognized by the world if it is rooted in the soil of traditional Wushu, absorbs its essence, and draws lessons from foreign advanced training methods, safe and fair competition rules and mature promotion experience.
