“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is
learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a
crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” So are
these top 5 wushu champions of our country Bhanu Singh, Mukesh Gora, Rohit Jangid,
Pawan Gupta and Praveen Sharma.

arts in Chinese: Wu means military or martial, and Shu means art. The sport of wushu was
