Chinese martial arts have a history of over five thousand years. The earliest form of Chinese martial arts can be traced to Taoist teachings passed down from a remote age focused on the harmony between man and nature in order to strengthen health and restore balance. Later in history, as warfare and invasion constantly plagued communities, the martial arts developed into a means to guard against injustice and battle applications were involved. The traditional Chinese martial arts has played an important role in the divinely-inspired Chinese culture. Martial artists must cultivate their Wu De (martial art virtue). Beginners first learn to endure pain, do good deeds, and tolerate insults from others. They then need to give up attachments to fame and self-interest. In the end, they are able to see the true causes and effects of conflicts, clearly distinguish between good and evil. Only then can they become true martial artists. In history, Chinese Martial Arts is also the fundamental training of many Taoist and Buddhist cultivation systems. Today, because of various reasons, many of the heritages of the orthodox martial arts have been gradually lost. Especially due to over half a century of suppression of traditional beliefs and values by the communist government in mainland China, the catastrophe of the "Cultural Revolution", and the emerge of modern gymnastic-like Wushu, the divine-inspired Chinese martial arts has come to the verge of becoming extinct. One after another, many of the great masters pass away, lost with them are their great and unique martial art techniques which has been past down generations, leaving behind ever-lasting regrets.
In view of this, the New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) initiated the International Chinese Traditional Martial Arts Competition to present the Chinese traditional concept of civility and morality, revive the traditional martial arts techniques, and promote its essence and culture. The first of such competition was held in October 2008, where martial artists from North/South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa converged in New York City to share their passion, techniques in the traditional martial arts, and make friends from around the globe. We sincerely hope that all Chinese traditional martial artists will be working with us to show to the world the essence of traditional Chinese martial arts and contribute to the furtherance of this legacy. Lets strive forward to promote true Chinese culture and Martial Arts values, and realize the dream of all traditional martial artists and generations of martial arts masters.
We welcome you to the 2009 competition in October. Looking forward to seeing you in New York!

中華武術具有5000多年的歷史。最早由上古得道真人傳與百姓，強身健體。後來，天無道，戰爭起，武術做為正義的保衛者，又有了搏擊的內涵。中華武術以其博大精深的內涵在中華神傳文化中佔有重要一席。習武者必須修武德。初習者以吃苦行善，包羞忍辱為要；漸入淡泊名利，修心養性之階，然後可通曉因果，辨識正邪，方為一名真正的武者。歷史上，武術也是佛道兩家諸多法門修煉的基礎手法。其中許多世系承傳的正統武術，由於種種原因現已漸漸失傳；特別是大陸官方半個世紀以來對傳統信仰理念的壓制迫害，文革浩劫，以及新派武術的衝擊，神傳的中華武術已瀕臨滅絕。一個個老拳師、傳統武術家相繼去世，帶走了一身絕技，也留下了一身遺憾
有鑒於此，新唐人電視臺於二零零八年起舉辦全世界華人中國武術大賽，以展現中華文武道德之傳統理念，恢復傳統武術技藝，繼承傳統武術精華，弘揚中華神傳武術文化。二零零八年的首屆大賽，美、歐、亞、澳、非個大洲高手雲集紐約，以武會友，切磋技藝，共襄盛舉。
衷心祝願全世界的傳統武術界人士和我們一同努力，將傳統中華武術的精華展示給世人，為傳承這一國粹盡力。讓我們一起弘揚中華傳統文武道德的理念，實現所有傳統武術家和歷代武術宗師的共同心願。
敬請參與2009年華人武術大賽。十月紐約見。 MARTIALARTS.NTDTV.COM
