What is Traditional Kung Fu / Wushu? Traditional Kung Fu / Chinese Martial Arts
Styles, Wushu is the martial art of China developed by the Chinese people for
self-defence over many centuries. So how can we define what the Traditional arts
are? For me they must be developed in China this might seem obvious but I
remember some years back a guy in the UK telling me that his style is tradition
and it was developed by an English guy 25 years ago so its now traditional! For
me this is nonsense firstly and foremost it should have been developed in China
pre 1900 not in the UK, USA or anywhere else in the world. If you do Traditional
Chinese Martial Arts you also have a linage that can be trace back though many
generations to the founder, a clear family tree which represents the history of
the style
