We divide China Wushu into traditional Wushu and national standard Wushu. National standard Wushu is a sport evolved from traditional Wushu, which is unarmed and equipment fighting developed from ancient wars and street fighting. Its contents include kicking, hitting, tripping, hugging, jujitsu and so on. "China traditional martial arts is also called martial arts, and its essence is a kind of fighting. It is different from ordinary sports. Sports is a fitness game, and fighting is a survival game. " According to the concept of Zheng Yutong, a martial arts master, traditional martial arts can't be regarded as a sport. Of course, the popular national standard Wushu is a kind of sports, because it is competitive and performative, and it is close to sports in essence. Traditional Wushu has an extremely broad mass base and is a valuable cultural heritage accumulated and enriched by the people of China in the long-term social practice. National Wushu can be divided into Sanda and routine. Sanda is the challenge of national Wushu, and routine is the manifestation of national Wushu.

In fact, according to what insiders call it, it should be called competitive martial arts. Competitive Wushu refers to routine Wushu. Because of the needs of the competition, there are some flashy and difficult movements, and the sports team does not talk about the method of disassembly, unlike traditional Wushu, which has skill training and application training (Sanshou). So generally speaking, athletes are useless. Martial arts, also known as "dance", happens to have a national dance, so it used to be just a joke. It is rarely heard that the official has such a statement, but it is not known whether it will be adopted by the official in the future. Among the folk schools, it is generally believed that China Wushu will not be popularized. Judging from the actions of the Sports Commission and Wushu Association, although the form of Sanda's ring promotion is relatively successful, it is already in a semi-abandoned state, and now it is an attempt to promote it. Those who practice national standard martial arts are called academic schools, while those who practice traditional martial arts are called folk schools. It is said that masters are in the folk, but now folk sects are absolutely weak in Wulin, so traditional Wushu is likely to decline.
