Fantastic athletes, many of the people at that level. I wish anyone competing the best of luck.

As far as I (nobody important) am concerned, what any contemporary wushu athlete is doing is not martial art, or at least not one that I would have interest in.

Then why make this post? You need to make a point that you feel modern wushu is not a martial art?

I suppose because this stuff has done so much to skew CMA away from the functional systems of old. I would like people to understand the distinction between functional martial arts, and dancing. I have met my share of wushu people that thought they can fight with it.

Canadian National Traditional Wushu (Kung Fu) Team (加拿大全國傳統武術隊) ...

What's "traditional Wushu"?

[WulinVancouver]

To address a few points here;
Traditional Wushu? As in Traditional Chinese Martial Arts or by it's slang term Kung Fu.

This event essentially contains two Team Trial selections one is for the qualifying of the BC Chapter of the Canadian National Traditional Wushu Team which will go to the 5th World Traditional Wushu Championships.

The other is specifically for the selection of the BC Provincial Junior Wushu Team. This Team is what some of the previous posters may note as Wushu as in Contemporary Wushu or Modern Wushu.

In the view of myself and the organizers this event is both for the Traditional & Modern interpretations of the Chinese Martial Arts. Whatever one's view, we hope all in the Vancouver area will feel welcome to come down and enjoy the event.
