Wushu is profound and has a history of thousands of years. It is not only a fighting skill or fitness method, but also permeated with ancient China philosophy, including Taoist philosophy.
Personally, I think martial arts in a narrow sense are foreigners, aiming at fighting and exercise and focusing on sports.
Wushu in a broad sense can be divided into external family and internal family, and the internal family pays attention to the cultivation of spirit and spirit, focusing on quietness.
As a method of practice, Tao should be very close to the martial arts family.
I agree that martial arts should be taught both inside and outside. It is harmful to health to practice outside for a long time. Many foreign boxers died young in history, and Bruce Lee is an example.
My humble opinion.
