Wushu originated in China long ago meaning, martial arts. Wushu consists of many different styles of fighting that developed over the years including fists fights, weapons, and fight routines. Wushu is considered a sport, but also a form of art.

Wushu forms contain so much detail to body movement from your toes to the tip of your fingers. The flow of your body, the intensity of your emotions, the way you execute your routine are all looked at. It takes years to master a form of wushu.

You may not think about it, but people that perform wushu are also designers. They are the type of designers that design with their bodies. The angles, lines, jumps, etc. they create with their body show their precision and awareness of how they use their bodies. Also the outfits they where, the silky clothing accentuates their movements. It adds on to the extra flare, giving them the smoothness. Even if the designer is going for the tough and sharp movements,  they illustrate shapes and excellent skills.

Design in society can be many aspects of the world, design is everything.
