What is Wushu ?

Wushu is the Chinese martial art, also known as "Kung Fu". The word Kung Fu is actually a misinterpretation and only means skill = "gong fu". In the 60th, when wushu reached Hollywood, Chinese martial artists, Bruce Lee & Co, spread wushu as Chinese skill. In other words, imagine chef Jamie Oliver spreading his way of cooking as "BRITISH SKILL", until every non-english speaking person on the planet thinks that the word "SKILL" actually means cooking. At the wushu main page you can fina basic wushu instructions.
