Wushu terms

 

Awareness of terminology is essential for every practitioner. But sometimes we go to great extremes, enriching our vocabulary with an unimaginable amount of oriental terms. As one of the authors of Shifu Zhao-Kun said, in China they do not attach special importance to terminology, because there it is common colloquial speech, except for some specific elements that have their ancient names.

Still, the need for such a section is appropriate, because without knowing the terms, you cannot teach classes, read the literature, and have an idea of competitive practice.

The glossary of terms will help you understand the complex "science of life" that we inherited from the great masters and thinkers of the past.
