Taolu refers to a set of choreographed movements in traditional Chinese martial arts, often performed as a solo routine. These sequences showcase various techniques, stances, and forms, allowing practitioners to demonstrate their skills, strength, and fluidity. Taolu can be practiced for self-defense, physical fitness, or as a competitive sport. In addition to martial arts, taolu is also an essential component of Wushu, a modern sport that combines performance and competition. Competitors are judged on their precision, speed, and overall presentation, making taolu an important aspect of martial arts training and performance in both traditional and contemporary contexts.
