Answer 1

most people consider it useless FOR FIGHTING because largely it is.

wushu does really mean martial arts..and is actually more proper a name than kung fu.

but wushu as it's known today was originally developed under communist ideals such as "comrades shouldn't fight comrades" ...it for the most part, is no longer a fighting art, but an asthetic pretty dance representative of martial arts. it's a sport.

some wushu schools do teach combat applications but not many from what i've seen...they're too busy dancing and flipping around like jacky chan.

ignore the fool who said first learn english...id say you know english better than he knows your language.

you will gain many things such as balance, coordination, strength, agility, and many other attributes...but don't necessarily think you will learn self defense.

some kung fu schools use the name wushu as well. it's best to find out if its a sport/dance or entertainment art. or if its traditional wushu, a fighting art.

Answer 2

wushu by the way do you know what is wushu?...

if you know. then your are wise is you don't you never understand a thing.

If other pople said that wushu are useless there they are wrong.

Let me give first the meaning of wushu.

What is Wushu?

Among China's well kept secrets, one caught the imagination of Americans - Chinese wushu. Wushu is an important component of the cultural heritage of China, with a rich content that has remained untarnished over the centuries. Literally translated, "wu" is military, "shu" is art. Wushu therefore means the art of fighting, or martial arts.

Previously, wushu figured significantly in the simple matter of survival through China's many wars and political upheaval. Today, wushu has been organized and systematized into a formal branch of study in the performance arts by the Chinese. It reigns as the most popular national sport in the country of 1.1 billion people, practiced by the young and old alike. Its emphasis has shifted from combat to performance, and it is practiced for its method of achieving heath, self-defense skills, mental discipline, recreational pursuit and competition.

To describe wushu, it is best to understand the philosophy of its teaching. Every movement must exhibit sensible combat application and aestheticism. The wealth of wushu's content, the beauty of wushu movents, the difficulty factor, and the scientific training methods are the song of the elements that set wushu apart from martial arts. Routines are performed solo, paired or in groups, either barehanded or armed with traditional Chinese weaponry. In short, wushu is the most exciting martial art to be seen, felt, and ultimately practiced.

How is wushu related to kung fu and taijiquan? "Wushu" is the correct term for all Chinese martial arts therefore kung fu and wushu were originally the same. During the last thirty years, wushu in Mainland China was modernized so that there could be a universal standard for training and competing. In essence, much emphasis has been placed on speed, difficulty, and presentation. Consequently, wushu has become an athletic and aesthetic performance and competitive sport, while "kung fu" or traditional wushu remains the traditional fighting practice. Taijiquan is a major division of wushu, utilizing the body's internal energy or "chi" and following the simple principle of "subduing the vigorous by the soft."

Although still in budding stages in many countries, wushu is an established international sport. In 1990, wushu was inducted as an official medal event in the Asian Games. Since then World Championships have taken place with 56 nations participating. Wushu is also vying for the Olympic games in the 21st century.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as a "useless" martial art.

If nothing else, you will benefit by:

1. Discipline

2. Self control.

3. Physical Exercise.

4. Coordination

5. Precision

6. Never confuse popularity with efficiency

People like to compare martial arts...

This is pointless.

The "worst martial art," well executed, will easily overcome the "best martial art" executed poorly.

Modern Wushu was created (from other martial arts) in China after 1949.

At about the same time another new martial art was created for the military in Korea.

That other martial art is Taekwondo.

Unless you are talking about "Modern Wushu" --

"wushu" is a very vague term (about the same as "martial arts.")
