Celebrate Lunar New Year with a Wushu performance
Join Blue Peter as we celebrate Lunar New Year with an exciting Wushu performance. Discover the skill, culture and tradition behind this dynamic Chinese martial art, and meet the talented performers bringing it to life.
What is Wushu?
Wushu is a modern style of Chinese martial arts. The word Wu means martial, and Shu means arts, so together it literally means “martial arts”.
Wushu is all about speed, strength and performance. In competitions, judges look at things like:
Flexibility – how smoothly and confidently you can move
Jumping height – especially in flips, leaps and spinning kicks
Style – the power, control and expression you show in every move
It’s a mix of sport and performance and it looks so cool!
