Wushu is the traditional Chinese Martial Art. It is often confused with Kung Fu. Kung Fu, directly translated “Kung” means “skill” and “fu” means “time”. In English, this means “a skill acquired over a period of time”. Whereas, Wushu means “martial arts” that involves bare hand forms (taolu), practice sparring (sanda), and weapon practice (long, short, & flexible weapons). In Chinese, “Wu” means “martial” and “shu” means “arts”. Wushu has gained popularity through Hollywood actors like Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen.
