The sport branch called Wu-shu includes a variety of martial arts developed in old China: body guards form, soldiers form, policemen form, convoy security guards form, monks self defense form (like Shaolin), aristocracy form (like fighting with a strait flexible sword), forms based on mysticism, the tai-chi form and many others, But many of the old forms were lost and many of the current forms are based on reconstructions. So, it depends if you count the modern forms or the old ones.
