The term Wushu consists of two Chinese characters: wu meaning
martial or military and shu meaning skill or method. Together,
it translates as martial art. Bruce Lee films brought the first
images of kung fu to Cuba. Since then, martial art fans in Cuba
started discovering the harmonic, philosophical and therapeutic
bases of what is known as Wushu today — a combination of Chinese
martial art. In 1990, Roberto Vargas Lee, a fifth Dan black belt
holder in Jyoshinmon karate went to China to learn the secrets
of Wushu and later developed it in Cuba. He later established
the Cuban school of Wushu.
