The authors drew the following conclusions: from the perspective of organizational attribute, CMAM should be a folk association managed by folks and sponsored by the government; from the perspective of history, the success of a Wushu organization is not inevitably related to whether it has an official identity, but needs to be attributed in multiple aspects; the historical merits of ZHANG Zhi-jiang and CMAM deserve to be affirmed.
