In 1928 the Central Wushu Institute was established in Nanjing by the Republic Government. These wushu parties played an important role in spreading and developing wushu. The Jingwu Sports Society was set up in Shanghai in 1910, and the Chinese Martial ArtistsвЂ™ Society and Zhirou Pugilistic Society were successively set up. During the Republic of China, (1912-1949), many organizations appeared in forms of pugilistic societies such as the Martial ArtistsвЂ™ Society and Physical Culture Society. Wrestling systems came into being and bare-hand fighting was also developed. During the Qing dynasty, with the development of pugilism and weapon-play, various schools, such as Taijiquan, Xingyiquan (form and will pugilism), Baguazhan (8 diagram palm) formed gradually. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the flourishing era for wushu with various schools and different styles. As bare-hand fighting and sumo were popular, the kind of contest on Leitai (an open ring for challenge) appeared. There also appeared street performers called Luqi men, making a living by performing вЂњExercise of FistsвЂќ, вЂњKickingвЂќ, вЂњExercise of CudgelвЂќ, вЂњPlay of CudgelвЂќ, вЂњDance with Saber and SpearвЂќ, вЂњSword DanceвЂќ, вЂњSpear vs ShieldвЂќ and вЂњSword vs ShieldвЂќ in the streets. During the Tang and Sung dynasties many civil wushu organizations came into existence. Activities of bare-hand fighting, competitive wrestling and sword fighting were recorded in Annals of Arts/Han Book, Biography of Emperor Wu/Han Book and Preface: On Allusion. During the Qin and Han dynasties dancing sports similar to routine exercise such as broadsword-play, dagger-axe-play, swordplay, and double-halberdplay appeared successively. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the applications of fighting techniques in the battlefield were emphasized. These were the earliest embryos of wushu, which served as a menu to build up health, cure diseases, prolong life, temper the fighting will and train military skills for the members of these societies. At that time, there appeared the вЂњXiвЂќ (sport) of Jiaodi (wrestling) and the вЂњWuвЂќ (dance or exercise) of Ganqi (axe and shield).

Wushu, a time-honoured sport in China, traces back to as early as the time of the clan communes in primitive societies.
