Abstract

The experiment teaching of Chinese martial art Sanda has started in three pilot units of Wuhan Sports University, Beijing Institute of Physical Education (now known as Beijing Sport University) and Zhejiang Provincial Sports Commission since 1979. Over the past 40 years, Sanda has gradually attracted worldwide attention, which cannot be separated from the scientific leadership of the government, the contributions of predecessors in the martial arts circle, and the efforts of martial arts lovers. But objectively speaking, Chinese martial art Sanda is currently in a rather awkward development situation. To review the past development process and analyze the existing problems to be solved urgently as well as how Sanda conforms to the characteristics of the times and moves forward in the future has become a topic that we need to think deeply about.
