Wushu, as a military training method at first, was closely related to ancient military struggle, with obvious offensive and defensive characteristics. In fact, its purpose is to

The purpose is to kill and restrict the other side, often forcing the other side to lose its resistance by the most effective means of attack and defense. These technologies are still used in the military and public security departments. Wushu, as a sport, is technically characterized by attack and defense, but it is only integrated with fighting and routine sports, while fighting embodies the characteristics of martial arts attack and defense, which is basically the same as actual combat, but from the sports point of view, it is restricted by the rules of the game to avoid hurting the other side. Sanshou, for example, restricts some traditional practical methods in martial arts, strictly stipulates the hitting position and protective gear, and the instruments used by short soldiers are changed accordingly, while the pushers compete under the provisions of special techniques. Therefore, it can be said that martial arts fighting action has strong offensive and defensive skills, but it is different from practical skills.

Routine drill is a unique manifestation of China Wushu, and many movements are in the technical specifications. The range of action has changed compared with the original action of Wushu, but the action method still retains the characteristics of Wushu. Even though some moves may not have the meaning of attack and defense because of the need of cohesion and drill skills, as far as the whole set of techniques is concerned, the main moves are still kicking, hitting, throwing, taking, hitting and stabbing, which is the technical core of the routine. Its offensive and defensive characteristics are manifested in one stroke and one style, bringing together hundreds of schools, and its offensive and defensive means are extremely rich. The technical methods that are not suitable for short soldiers are still reflected in routine sports.
