Kung fu has been as a candidate of the 2020 Olympic Games more than two months. Not only of the Wushu Center, State Sports General Administration but also the civil are not optimistic about that.
July 5,2011, the International Olympic Committee announced in Durban, South Africa, that martial arts, baseball, softball, roller skating and karate have become candidates for the 2020 Olympic Games project. At the end of 2013, they will select one of them to be Olympic Games. Wushu Administrative Center, Gao Xiaojun told reporters that he recently has no time on Wushu Olympic issue, and politely refused an interview on the matter related.
Kung fu being as a candidate for the Olympic Games project is called a historic step. But what surprises us is the wushu center¡¯s attitude. Martial Arts Research Association, Guangdong Province and History professor of Jinan University, Ma Mingda analysis, said: "I think this is just to honor the Chinese International Olympic Committee." Ma Mingda thought that martial arts are unlikely to become Olympic sport project.
Ma Mingda was born in a family of kung fu. He believes the impression of Chinese martial arts is reflected in three aspects, namely, dance-oriented, aging, fantasy-oriented. Attractiveness and martial arts for the general population continued to decline compared to other sports, which makes Ma Mingda deeply saddened. "In our universities, Tae Kwon Do classes a term and term of office, but basically no one to practice martial arts. Taiwan, Hong Kong and foreign students would ask me questions about wushu, but rarely do mainland students. The reason is that students have no opportunity to understand the true martial arts. " This phenomena has one reason that is wush¡¯s transformation into competitive arts. In the course of development in recent decades, the martial arts has experienced two the second largest division, the first is divided into traditional martial arts and sports martial arts, and the second is divided into a competitive martial arts of Wushu and Sanshou. After two major split, competitive wushu completely divorced from the man-made products.
Maming Da said, "competitive wushu has been very lonely overseas, because it's athletes to be professional athletes, must be professionally trained, very difficult to achieve non-competitive martial arts athlete now requires the difficulty of the action and now the evils of competitive martial arts athletes short of, a high rate of injuries and complete dance of the now competitive martial arts and martial arts profound cultural connotation completely separated, it is the very appearance of things with the martial arts to represent the entire martial arts , like a tiger with a tiger to represent the performance is very shallow, and even vulgar in some games, the players draped a cloak of self-reported playing arena name for itself looks very vulgar, which shows that the Chinese martial arts movement of high-level martial arts instructors do not understand the essence of traditional culture. "appears in Ma Mingda, martial arts can enter the Olympics is not important:" What worries me most is not that if wushu can be add to Olympics but how the Chinese kung fu would be made to add to Olympic. "
