RSO - UMass Wushu

What is Wushu?

Wushu is a modern Chinese martial art that incorporates the traditional aspects of Kung Fu with acrobatics and jump kicks. Wushu is made up of forms that show off flexibility, strength, and speed. Famous Wushu practitioners include Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Ray Park. 

Our Mission:

We aim to spread awareness for and promote the teaching of the art of Wushu to the UMass Amherst community and beyond. Through practicing this art form, we seek to foster an environment of self-improvement, discipline, and respect for oneself and for others. By using Wushu as a means to increase exposure to Chinese culture, we hope to build a more diverse and inclusive campus community for which Wushu is a means of healthy physical activity, an outlet for stress, and the basis for forming new relationships.
