Says who? Wushu isn't TKD ya know. I always thought the chinese arts were supposed to promote health, which doesn't include ruined joints. |

There are actually a pletora of CMA with habits very bad for your health. One way of increacing your hitting ability was to break your knicles against a rock and then immoblize your hand while they healed, then break them again. Eventually your had was useless for anything but hitting things; but you ended up with basically a very strong club.

Actually not too much. It is still a fighting art - yes, we have a lot of flashy showy things, but we know that this is traditional and NOT GOOD FOR HAND TO HAND COMBAT. We still have your standard punches and kicks and animal strikes and grappling movements and Chi work. Good stuff.
HOWEVER, teh other Kung Fu style I study, Wing Chun, is quite a bit more effective than Wu Shu.

Most modern wushu schools focus more on the performance aspect then the combat aspect, I'm sorry to say |
