Wushu is a martial art that originated in China. It is a form of unarmed combat that includes both striking and grappling techniques. Wushu is different from other martial arts because it emphasizes speed, agility, and flexibility.

Wushu training requires the use of various pieces of equipment, including gloves, jians (swords), qiangs (spears), daggers, and staffs. Training also includes the practice of tui shou (pushing hands) and sanshou (free sparring).

The history of wushu can be traced back to the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, where it was developed by Buddhist monks. Wushu became popular in Hong Kong during the 1960s and 1970s, and has since gained popularity worldwide.

There are many competitions held annually for wushu athletes of all levels. The sport of wushu also offers numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility.

Wushu is also a great way to meet people and make friends. There are many clubs and lessons available throughout Hong Kong. Whether you want to compete or just learn self-defense, wushu is a great martial art to get involved in.
