About the Business

A martial art can only be judged as to whether it is suitable for the individual via first-hand participation. The Chinese term Wu Shu originated around 500 A.D. and translates roughtly as Martial Skill. It refers to an individuals' fighting technique. The term Wu Yi translates as Martial Art but with more of a reference to the stategies of battling armies, however, Wu Shu became the more commonly used term. This, therefore, is the definition of Traditional Wu Shu.

It was in the 1960's and 70's that the definition of Chinese Martial Arts became altered by the Chinese government and athletic committees, with the definition of Wu Shu coming to refer to a display art, emphasising beauty and somewhat ignoring martial application. This is Contemporary or Modern Wu Shu. Therefore, when speaking of Wu Shu, one should make the distinction between Traditional and Contemporary Wu Shu.
