How to properly understand the essence of martial arts

The essence of wushu is technical combat, and no matter how it changes, technical combat is always the theme.

The forms of martial arts are practical, fitness and performance.

As far as the technical layer of wushu is concerned, it is divided into three layers due to the different ways of thinking, values and aesthetic interests of the fighters;

The innermost layer is the simplest and most practical layer of primitive techniques, which is not very different from one country to another, and this is also the case with Chinese kung fu;

The second layer is the technical layer of strokes in a certain scenario, and most of the techniques of many fighters in traditional wushu are at this level;

The third layer is the technical layer of practical techniques, and the third layer is the technical layer of the traditional wushu.

The third level is the technical expansion of the maneuvers created from an aesthetic point of view.

But all three levels are essentially technical content.
