武术本质与概念研究——兼论现行武术发展形式之谬误

摘要

The essence of wushu is martial confrontational art. It helps people defend and make the body healthy and strong. And this is why wushu can be passed down to the present through all the historical changes. Since the essence of wushu is a martial confronta- tional art,whether wushu is a kind of sport depends on weather it is under the restrictions of sports rules. Without the restrictions, wushu is a Chinese traditional technique of martial defense and attack; while under the restrictions,wushu becomes a kind of traditional Chinese sports.%武术的本质是技击对抗性运动，能够防身自卫，强自健体，这是武术历经中华数千年历史文化能够流传至今的原因。决定武术是否体育运动，关键在于是否在体育规则的限制之下，没有规则限制下的武术是一种具有武力性质的防卫技术，而非体育运动；受规则限制下的武术则是一项体育活动，这是武术是否为体育的最大分野。
