What was martial arts called during the Republic of China?

Martial arts was called national martial arts in the national period.

However, the meanings of Guoshu and Wushu are still different. Guoshu is a martial art that only kills enemies without performing. It is designed to strengthen the body and protect the country.

Guoshu pays equal attention to both skills and morals, and cultivates both internal and external aspects, with martial ethics, martial arts, skills, and entertainment as its core content. The competition events are mainly divided into two types: routines and arena competitions. The former is a skill performance competition; the latter is a contest between players.

The term "martial arts" was given this new title after the founding of New China. Before that, in different periods and dynasties, the names of "martial arts" were also different. "Martial arts", "fighting", "fighting", "wrestling", "national skills", "martial arts", "kung fu", etc. are all other names for "martial arts". In fact, these titles refer to the same content, but the titles are different in different eras.
