Wushu is one of the unique Chinese traditional sports items,which is treasured as the magnificent Chinese cultural heritage. Wushu routines are combinations of numerous offensive and defensive movements, among witch are transformational patterns and set patterns. The changes of the movements can be slow or fast; the power of them can be a combination of softness and hardness. the change of the movements'direction can be exterior or virtual, and the range of them can be modest or full. All these transformations predicate rhythm. The rhythm of Wushu is the regulated alternation of power and speed in this sport which is an organism of training skills and body developments which consists of power, speed, flexibility, quickness and endurance. Rhythm of Wushu is also known as the application of all kinds of physical ability and training skills.Chinese Wushu owns rich diversities, each of them are unique. Therefore seldom school routines practice the same training style. One action can appear in many different routines but experiencing different training principle and practicing rhythm.With the development of the cultural communication between the east and west, competitive Wushu emerged, which represented the future of Wushu. It is endowed the characteristics of advanced, challenging, beautiful and creative, which can be observed in the two basic form: Sanda and Wushu routine. The rules of Competitive Wushu are updating and the competitor is pursuing better improvement while the trainer and trainees tends to concern too much about the difficulty instead of the rhythm of the movement. This essay illustrates the skill of the rhythm change in Wushu drilling in the respect of competitive Wushu, which can not only improve the practicer's performance but also bring great visual and mental impact.Rhythm is the manifestation of Wuhu's law of nature, which can only be shown by the changes of movements. The main factors of rhythm are still or active, slow or fast, intentional or allocational, hard or soft, modest or full, which represent the different variability of rhythm.The rhythm of still and active focuses on the gesture of Wushu. There are stable movements and concessive ones, between which the alternations resemble the important consistence of Wushu's rhythm. The feature can be observed: movement should be conducted as concussively as waves, rhythmically and dash along.The changes of the movement's speed are considered as the rhythm of speed."Fast movement"should be performed as a gust of wind,"slow movement"should be performed as soaring eagle, which is not the lax one but attentively. The rhythm of speed should be with sudden stops and steady starts. The "fast'' and "low" are features of time, they are comparatively, correlated and in a sort of interdependence.Intention or allocation of rhythm started form the activation of inner world and end with the performance. The distinction of the intention and allocation can facilitate the conscious to direct the performance. "Intention" is the transformational process of the movement and "allocation" is the final point and result of the transformation. They are also interdependent.From the point of the movement's power, attacking means powerful and defense means soft. The variation of power shows the rhythm of strength. Tension proceeds relax and powerful proceeds softness. A powerful attack and swift slipping make wonderful rhythm.The extension of the movement shows another kind of rhythm which was observed from the range of the movement, the up and down of the posture and the relaxant of the body. There are fully stretching or curl and crouch of body, among which the transition is rich of variations.Although the rhythm of Wushu has a Varity of expressions it follow certain laws which can be called relativity and inversin. Relativity means the steady, speed, power, intention and tension are all dimidiate, none of them are isolated. While invversin means all of the elements are interpenetrated. The rhythm of Wushu can only be acquired in constantly practice and training. It can only be fully achieved as a unique style when the changes of rhythm are intake. Therefore the traits can be shown in one's performance and improvements can be boost. Great significance is attached to the evolution of competitive Wushu, consequently, it is crucial important to balance the counterparts of the rhythm and figure out the key points of specific routines.
