@mymyharlow Wushu = Performance martial arts not combat martial arts that's the difference. Wushu is to Kung Fu what Gymnastics is to pre-gunpowder European combat methods. That's why in Wushu forms they use those floppy weapons that would never work in a real battle. It's for art not combat.
I agree, Modern wushu without traditional wushu is pathetic and it has gotten worse in the last 5 years as the understanding of the traditions has faded more and more. but Traditional wushu without modern wushu is not better! modern wushu can teach you how to move your body in every way possible way, while traditional styles each tend to be specializations for different body types and strategies. If you are a hard core traditionalist just remember that Modern wushu can be good cross training!
yup modern wushu was created from the 5 major styles of long fist, but the intent and focus is for show and performance. winning points n looking good, besides the aero jumps n flips the basic movements n techniques are from tradional forms with a purpose, the only difference is the intent which has shifted to sport instead of defense, so yea we know it has tradational roots, the applications just arent the meain focus anymore.
