Abstract: The technical training system of traditional wushu quan styles constitutes the cornerstone of Chinese wushu’ revival of its cultural roots. This study combines documentary analysis, expert interviews, and practical immersion to propose a hierarchical and scientifically grounded reconstruction of the training system, with a focus on the conceptual framework and structural components of the “gongfa (foundational methods), zhaoshi (forms/postures/techniques), shiyong (combat applications), and taolu (standardized routines)” technical system. Key insights include: 1) Traditional technical systems of quan styles frequently suffer from ambiguously delineated structure and coherence, resulting in fragmented pedagogical practices that obscure the interplay between superficial techniques and their underlying principles. 2) Current fragmented training paradigm risks severing wushu from its technical essence, undermining its foundational integrity and limiting its capacity to address contemporary national identity imperatives and sociocultural demands. 3) The pursuit of “returning to tradition” must focus on essence-driven revitalization. This necessitates a dual emphasis on creative reinterpretation and systematic innovation. The proposed “gongfa, zhaoshi, shiyong, and taolu” technical training system of quan styles embodies a stratified and scientifically rigorous reconfiguration of traditional pedagogy. Its educational implications are twofold: 1) Integrating this technical traning system into professional wushu curricula safeguards the holistic preservation and transmission of traditional wushu techniques while nurturing versatile practitioners capable of sustaining its evolution. 2) Embedding the “combat applications” component into mainstream wushu education cultivates youth resilience and cultural identity through structured, ethics-driven sparring, thereby aligning traditional practices with modern societal needs.
