Wushu, a modern competitive sport with a long and rich history, is generally referred to as kung fu in the West and is the collective term referring to the various martial arts practised in China.
This sport has developed and evolved over a period of thousands of years from an art of war into a cultural, martial, philosophical and physical activity now embraced by people on every continent. Within the Nanjing 2014 Sports Lab, the emphasis will be on showcasing the excitement of wushu and its different formats.
