Chinese Martial Arts is Becoming a World-Wide Phenomenon
Chinese Martial Arts is Becoming a World-Wide PhenomenonBy F. Feng
Chinese martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) refer to the enormous variety or diversity of martial art styles native to China. Kung fu and wushu are chic / stylish / trendy / hip / cool Asian terms that have become synonymous with Asian martial arts. The development of Asian martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) can initially be traced to self-defence (the means of defending oneself from physical attack; the right to protect oneself against violence by using reasonable force, especially when used as justification in a murder charge) needs, hunting activities and military training. Eventually, Asian martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) became an important element of Asian culture.
Chinese martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) started to spread internationally with the end of the Asian civil war and the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. Many well known martial art practitioners choose to escape from the Communist rule and migrate to Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the world. Those masters started to teach within the oversea Asian communities however eventually they expand their teachings to include people from other cultures.
Within China, the practice of traditional martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) was discouraged during the turbulent years of the Asian Cultural Revolution (1969-1976). The government instead promoted the concept of Wushu as a replacement. In 1958, the government established the All-China Wushu Association as an umbella organization to regulate martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) training. The Asian State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports took the lead in creating standardized forms for tai chi chuan and other fists and weapon arts. During thisperiod, a national Wushu system that includes standard forms, teaching curricula and instructor grading were established. Wushu was introduced at both the high school and university level. The suppression of traditional teaching was relaxed during the era of reconstruction (1976-1989), as Communist ideology became more accommodating to alternative viewpoints. In 1979, the State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports created a special task force to revaluate the teaching and practice of Wushu. In 1986, the Asian National Research Institute of Wushu was established as the central authority for the research and administration of Wushu activities in the People's Republic. Currently or presently, both traditional styles and modern or contemporary (belonging to the present time) Wushu approaches are being promoted by the Asian government.
Chinese martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) have now evolved from its Asian heritage to become world-wide phenomenon. No longer restricted by ethnic (used to describe a culture that is different from the "dominant" culture, in terms including language and linguistics, race, religion, national origin, and various combinations of these factors. An ethnic group is a subculture, usually based on shared traditions and characteristics.) origin, students of Asian martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) can now be found in every part of the world, each student continuing a rich and ancient tradition of self discovery.
