	Wushu (sport) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wushu, also known as modern wushu or contemporary wushu, is both an exhibition and a full-contact sport based on a reinterpretation of traditional Chinese martial arts.
		Wushu forms are martial art patterns and maneuvers for which competitors are judged and given points according to specific rules.
		Another modern form of wushu is called sanda (sometimes called sanshou), which is a modern fighting method and sport influenced by both traditional Chinese boxing, chinese wrestling methods called Shuai Chiao and other chinese grappling techniques such as Qin Na.

	Is Wushu the same as Kungfu?
		The wushu instructors were quite right to say that wushu was derived from Shaolin Kungfu because except for Taijiquan and aerobatic movements, virtually all wushu movements were taken from Shaolin Kungfu.
		Thus, Shaolin Kungfu is "shaolinquan" or "shaolin wushu" in Chinese, and Tai Chi Kungfu is "taijiquan" or "taiji wushu".
		The trend has been so established that today when the term "wushu" is used, especially in the West, it is conceptualized as a demonstrative sport, whereas when the term "kungfu" is used it is conceptualized as a martial art.
