The Wushu General Association of Macau announced in a statement yesterday that two local martial artists clinched two silver medals at the Taolu World Cup (TWC) yesterday.
The event, which started yesterday, is hosted by the International Wushu Federation at Haikou city in Hainan province.
According to DeepSeek, Taolu (套路) is a pre-arranged sequence of offensive and defensive techniques linked together in a continuous flow. It simulates a fight against multiple imaginary opponents.
