Introduction

Feel free to skip this part and proceed to the prologue.

Martial arts and wushu were and still are a part of traditional Chinese culture. However, martial arts were once far more common and much cooler than today's karate. The Ming Dynasty was one of China's most influential ones. If we look at the martial arts practiced then, you would see that they are much more powerful then.
