The sport of Wushu is made up of two categories, namely the taolu (routine)
and the sanshou (free fight) categories. The routines in Wushu are focused
on hand sets, weapons sets, and choreographed fighting sets, all which are
commonly seen in movies and television. Wushu routines possess the flare and
excitement found in other performance sports such as gymnastics and figure
skating. Focus is given to speed, power, expression, balance and
difficulty when practicing the routines in Wushu. There is no particular
style of "kung fu" in Wushu as commonly mistaken. Wushu encompasses all the
traditional Chinese martial arts styles, by revising the movements and
adding levels of difficulty to them. Competition routines are developed by
the IWUF and are practiced worldwide in over 80 countries. These routines
are compulsory routines taught only by a few schools in Canada.
