Yes, I am using wushu to mean "martial art".

I don't think I can really do any justice to compare Wushu (both contemporary and traditional) with aikido in this forum.
As you have already compared wushu with aikido on this forum, can I press you again to say what 'profound differences' you were thinking of when you wrote? An easy thing to say, perhaps harder to justify?

Anyone else out there who's studied both aikido and tai-chi, ba-gua or similar for any length of time and has a view?

I can add my favourites to a reading list, if anyone's interested, but my belief in the essential congruence of aikido and chinese internal arts comes from direct experience rather than books.
