In the wuxia genre, the prowess of the martial artist is greatly exaggerated to superhuman levels of skill and ability. This form of swordplay is rooted in tradition that has been romanticized in literature and on screen, and emphasizes chivalry and the pursuit of righteousness. The characters are more of idealized versions of what real martial artists could be, if they worked hard enough and were disciplined enough to master their Chi and perform at these amazing (but unrealistic) levels of fight performance.
