Shaolin Temple Information: What's the difference between martial arts and self-defense?

Take China Wushu as an example, there are traditional Wushu and modern Wushu.

1. Traditional martial arts: such as Xingyiquan Wing Chun and so on. Although it is a routine form, it is no different from self-defense in the era of cold weapons. Anyone who has practiced traditional Wushu routines knows that his boxing and moves are all from routines; That is, the boxing and moves of fighting and fighting form a routine. For example, the martial arts in the Wing Chun series of film and television dramas are all from Wing Chun routines. It's not that people misunderstand the routine that is only suitable for performance.

2. Modern martial arts: suitable for performance, without fighting skills. The action emphasizes stretching, beauty and appreciation. Sports events in our country are this kind of martial arts. It is often confused with traditional martial arts.

Some people may ask (in fact, many people are asking and questioning), since there is no difference between traditional martial arts and self-defense fighting, why not participate in Sanda in the ring? Because there is no limit to the traditional martial arts fighting in China, winning by attacking the key parts of the opponent (this is a big taboo in Sanda); However, under the restriction of rules, Sanda wins by hitting the opponent's effective scoring position. Traditional martial arts fighting often uses such moves as hitting, fanning, buckling, grasping and thrusting, but once gloves are put on and rules and restrictions are added, it can't be played at all. Therefore, the traditional martial arts fighting has not adapted to the modern ring Sanda.
