Is traditional Wushu backward? Why?

The decline of traditional Wushu is not only due to the lack of actual combat, but also to the lack of modern kinematics.

The decline of traditional Wushu is not only the lack of actual combat opportunities, but also the lack of integration with modern sports. The training of traditional Wushu is similar to materialism in Wushu, which holds that Tao and Qi are the origin of the world, and the formation of life is explained by the accumulation and dispersion of Qi, which leads to life and death. In the ancient Wushu theory, "Qi" is regarded as the force and reward of Wushu, and it is the essence of Wushu life. Various external forms of Wushu, such as its function, charm and stunts, are the evolution and embodiment of "Qi". Because the ups and downs of life are the result of qi, and the quality of life is determined by the quality of human qi, so qi is also regarded as the theoretical basis of Wushu health preservation.

These theories have a strong effect on health preservation, and it seems that it is not easy to use competitive martial arts.
