Abstract: This study analyzed the history,characteristics,and methods of unifying single practice and pair practice which is a Wushu routine competition by the methods of literature review,expert interview and sports practice. Techniques absence and power distortion in current Wushu routine competitions,serious uncoordination of single practice and pair practice,and misunderstanding of fighting and practice combination were discussed.Based on deep understanding of essence and characteristics of Wushu routine,we put forward the"unifying of single and pair practice"competition model. Single practice means specific routine performance,pair practice means two people fighting each other with routine,and unity refers to a same structure of technique and method. Real power will be used in practice. This model emphasizes Quan Shi. Unifying single practice and pair practice reflects a series of ideas that are civilizing of fighting,unifying of foundation and using,emphasizing process,and moderation. It will liberate from the higher,faster,stronger model,and will be a competition model full of oriental wisdom with harmonious( unity of single and pair),ingenious( complicated structure of Quan Shi),and cultivation( converting between offensive and defensive softly),and it will emphasize skill more than physical fitness,emphasize result more than process,and emphasize competition more than culture. Conclusions: 1) Quan Shi,with the characteristics of offensive and defensive tactics,is the basic unit of Wushu routine. Quan Shi cannot clap up randomly; it has to have tactical intention and actual effect under certain conditions the available in offence and defense and can be showed in the way of pair practice. Offense and defense ability of Quan Shi is the essence of routine. 2) The model follows the logic of routine structure,such as route structure in accordance with combat formation layout,movement connection follows the law of offense and defense conversion,and the whole routine fits the requirement of all types boxing. 3) Single practice routine of different type boxing must have its main Quan Shi and use it to finish round type or tandem type pair practice. 4) Routine competition is the unity of single practice and pair practice,both practices should be under the routine model,and the main judging criteria are reasonable,changeable,and artistic of Quan Shi and highly unification of single practice and pair practice. Suggestions: Unity of single practice and pair practice is the real reflection of both foundation and practice,organic combination between fight and practice,and future trend of routine development. We suggested using this model at first in some types boxing competition and improving it. There is some good effect in a small range experiment applied in 2010 Wushu specific training class of Beijing Sport University.
