What does WUSHU mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Chinese martial art and modern combat sport that combines set forms based on traditional styles with sparring competition.
Wushu was standardised in China in the twentieth century to bring many older regional fighting traditions, sometimes loosely called kung fu in the West, into one system suitable for schools and competitions. Modern wushu splits into taolu, which are scored routines of stances, kicks and weapon forms, and sanda, which is full-contact sparring. It is taught worldwide today both as a competitive sport and as a form of physical training rooted in Chinese cultural heritage.
