Martial Art Styles: Wushu

Wushu is the Mandarin Chinese term that literally means Martial Art. In the west this has been confused with the words Kung Fu. But in Chinese, Kung Fu can be used in contexts completely unrelated to Martial Arts. It refers to any individual accomplishment or skill that is achieved through long and hard work.

Wushu has recently also become the name for a modern sport that is simular to gymnastics in which participants perform Chinese barehanded and weapons forms.
