Features: In recent years, wushu has flourished both domestically and internationally, with various forms of competition activities becoming increasingly frequent. There is a pressing need for standardized competition routines. To this end, the China Wushu Research Institute and the China Wushu Association organized renowned coaches, Tai Chi masters, and some outstanding athletes to develop competition routines for Changquan, Nanquan, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, Da Dao, Jian Shu, Gun Shu, Qiang Shu, Nan Dao, and Nan Gun, among others. These routines retain the stylistic features of the respective martial arts and weapons while reflecting the current technical standards of wushu. Not only are they rich in content, standardized in movements, well-structured, and logically arranged, but the number of movements, groups, and time limits also comply with competition rules. They have been approved by the China Wushu Research Institute and are now published as books, with teaching video tapes also produced for widespread distribution. We believe that with the promotion of these competition routines, it will play a positive role in promoting the standardization of wushu competitions and in the popularization and advancement of wushu.
