A Chinese martial art similar to Kung Fu.
"Wushu" refers to Chinese Martial Arts. It is both an exhibition and a contact sport, depending upon the focus either on "taolu" (forms) or "sanda" (boxing). Essentially, the Western concept of "kungfu" is actually wushu.

The Simplified Chinese script for wushu is as follows: 武术. It literally translates into "martial art," 武 standing for "military" or "martial," and 术 representing "discipline," "skill," or "art.

There are many different sects of wushu. There are two dominant sects of wushu -- Shaolin and Wudang. Shaolin is an external martial art, as opposed to the internal martial arts of Wudang. Both are beneficial in different ways.

Learning wushu is about improving your self-confidence and self-discipline. Like any other martial art, it increases your flexibility, strength, and body awareness, among other things. Though rigorous, practicing wushu is an invigorating experience.
