The Ji Hong Wushu System
In Chinese, "wushu" means the military arts. The origin of wushu can be traced back
to the early activities of the ancestors of the Chinese people who struggled hard
for survival. During the prolonged cold weaponry age, wushu was employed by the army
to subdue the enemy and practiced by the ordinary people as a means
for self-defense
and physical fitness.
In modern times, wushu has been separated from military warfare and become a sport
which includes forms and free-fighting disciplines. Modern wushu forms follow
the attack and defense patterns of various traditional Chinese martial arts.
They are spectacular to watch, challenging to practice and convey a range of artisitic
expressions ranging from playful to fierce.
The Ji Hong Wushu System is divided into five levels. At each level, the practitioner
is expected to achieve certain goals which are outlined below. |
