It is worth mentioning that the Wushu game is a sport of the Indian Olympic Association. Wushu is a competitive Chinese martial art. It integrates concepts and forms from various traditional and modern Chinese martial arts, including Shaolin kung fu, tai chi, and Wudangquan. "Wushu" is the Chinese term for "martial arts" ("Wu" = combat or martial, "Shu" = art), reflecting the art's goal as a compilation and standardization of various styles.

Wushu is practiced both through forms called tau and as a full-contact combat sport known as sanda. Wushu has become an international sport under the International Wushu Federation (IWUF), which holds the World Wushu Championships every two years. Wushu is an official event at the Asian Games, East Asian Youth Games, Southeast Asian Games, World Combat Games, and other multi-sport events.
