Wushu is the practice of contemporary Chinese martial arts. Although many people do not recognize the word wushu, the vast majority have seen it popularized in movies through wushu athletes such as Jet Li (above).
In recent years, emphasis in wushu has shifted from combat to performance, stressing flexibility, form, and speed. Still, every movement must exhibit sensible combat applications. Wushu is practiced throughout the world for the benefit of health, self-defense skills, mental discipline, recreational pursuit, and competition.
If you are interested in doing wushu, please contact us or just drop in on a class. We hold practices every Tuesday (7:30pm to 9:00pm), Friday (7:15 to 9:00pm), and Sunday (2:00pm to 4:00pm) in the Malkin Athletic Center Mezzanine.
The Harvard Wushu club has performed at various events in the past, including at the Harvard Foundation's yearly Cultural Rhythms show, and we are always looking for new opportunities to take the stage. Please contact us if you are interested in having us perform at an event you are organizing.
