The development of traditional Wushu in the future should still be based on “freeness” and reshaped in an active and conscious way; the “non-daily” development manner should rationally return to “daily” development; the intensity of support of “for-mal institution” of China for the development of the Wushu undertaking still needs to be strengthened.
