Wushu, an outstanding Chinese cultural legacy, is made up of a system of fighting techniques. It takes mainly the forms of routine exercises and free sparring, aiming at promoting physical health, strengthening will power and refining combat skills. Wushu routines, practiced either barehand or with weapons, incorporate kicking, punching, throwing, seizing and joint lock techniques into set routine exercises according to certain rules and patterns involving various combinations of offense and defense.The Formation and Development of WushuWushu, a time honored sport in China, traces back to as early as the time of the clan communes in primitive societies. At that time, there appeared the "Xi"(sport) of "Jiaodi"(wrestling) and the "Wu"(dance) of "Ganchi"(ax and shield). These were the earliest embryos of the two forms of Wushu which served as a means to build up health, cure disease, temper the fighting will and train military skills for the members of these societies.Wushu has developed and enriched itself through the long history of social development of the Chinese nation. From Zhou and Qin Dynasties to Yuan and Ming Dynasties(11th century BC to 17 century AD), a great variety of Wushu styles appeared within the realm of sports. Among them there have been dueling styles of "Jiaoli"(trail and strength), "Jiaodi"(wrestling), "Xiangpu"(sumo), "Jijian"(fencing), "Jiaobang"(staff fighting) and "Ciqiang"(spear fighting).The Content and Classification of Wushu "The Five Schools of Wushu" Chinese Wushu is extremely rich in content, and there are numerous schools.
