| Abstract | Background and Study Aim: Wushu Taolu (武術套路) means the routine performance in competitive Chinese martial arts. In 2003, the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) published the new version of Rules for Wushu Taolu Competition. The new rules approve difficulty and add music in performance, just like rhythmic gymnastics. Japanese Wushu Taijiquan Federation (JWTF), the second influential member in IWUF, insist the new rules raised the risk of injury and cannot be sufficiently represented the feature of wushu. Material and Methods: This study analyzed related material including the official journal published by JWTF, main changes of the new rule, and the details of the proposed amendment draft by JWTF. Results: JWTF disagree with the new rules in contents of difficulty. In back of this opposition lies that JWTF attaching importance to the combative aspect of martial arts. Conclusions: The conflict of modernization of Wushu Taolu exists in the relationship of combative aspect and aesthetic aspect of martial arts. Japanese association solves this conflict by dividing Taolu into two parts: the Olympic style of Taolu and the original style of Taolu. But this kind of solution needs further researches. |
