(Department of Physical Education,Chongqing Nankai Middle School,Chongqing 400030,China) Abstract: By applying theories in culturology and logics, the author analyzed the new definition of Wushu, and put forward the following opinions: the new definition that bases the theoretical foundation of Wushu on Chinese cul-ture does not cover the actual circumstance of Wushu development, since nowadays Wushu also absorbs elements in western sport theories; on the one hand, Wushu is not the only product under the influence of Chinese culture; on the other hand, the theoretical foundation of Wushu itself is ambiguous; when Wushu development is seeking for a way out, the new definition highlights its cultural nature and comes with cultural mystery, which virtually intensifies the unreal atmosphere of Wushu, is inappropriate. The author also pointed out that the new definition has such logi-cal defects as definition looping, wrong “grafting”, narrow extension and inflexible thinking, hoping to provide a reference for further revising the definition of Wushu.
