Abstract: The development of Wushu has received much attention. However, current researches mainly focus on the structure and function of Wushu, while ignoring the influence of Wushu practitioners. Based on the theories of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, this study shows that the body of Wushu practitioners is the key to the development of Wushu and their orientation determines the direction of Wushu development. Since Wushu practitioners exist in a specific environment, their process of body-based innovation is manifested as following: The experience of Wushu practitioners provides the foundation of Wushu development; The rhizomatic thinking pattern of practitioners leads to the creation of various genres of Wushu; The pleat consciousness of Wushu practitioners influences the change of Wushu. In future research and policy-making, the body of Wushu practitioners and the genres they have created should receive more attention so as to promote its further development.
