01Executive Overview
Formally established in 1949 by the People's Republic of China, Wushu synthesized traditional Chinese martial arts styles (Kung Fu / Quanfa) into a modern athletic sport. Managed internationally by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF), it split into two primary disciplines: Taolu (exhibition routines) and Sanda (full-contact kickboxing and wrestling).
