China has a long history of martial arts and Wushu Studies, and EducAsian offers a variety of programs that reflect this rich tradition. Since Beijing's selection as the host of the 2008 Summer Olympic games, wushu is set to become an Olympic sport, and Beijing has now become the most preeminent center for the study and practice of martial arts with people coming from around the world to train and prepare for the games.
