* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': In a fighting game where everyone uses weapons, the series has two prominent traditional Chinese weapon users. Monk Kilik (and later his son Xiba in ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV'') uses a simple staff, where he was raised learning a rare style in a remote mountain temple. Xianghua (and her daughter Leixia, also from ''V'') wields a jian in a classic and elegant wushu style; appropriate as Xianghua is the daughter of a noble.

# ''Qiang'' (spear) the "King of Weapons", the classical Chinese spear is adorned with a bright red tassel behind the blade and has a flexible shaft, which makes the entire weapon wave, apparently to catch the opponent offguard. Other variants include the shuo, a pike-like rigid spear sometimes depicted with spikes below the spearhead, and the tang, a ranseur with wavy, perpendicular side-blades.
# ''Polearms'': the huge amount of Chinese polearms, ranging from various glaives (sometimes called dadao, literally "large saber") to the fangtianji (halberd with crescent-shaped side blades) to tridents and similar weapons. Sometimes, chinese tridents are portrayed differently from the usual western shape, with a straight sword-like blade ending in a trident-like tip composed of a central spearhead and two outward-pointing blades, sometimes called sanjiandao, the three-pointed sword. Another rare but recognizable exponent is the famous yueyachang, the moon fang spade (sometimes called "Shaolin Spade")

# ''Shuang Go'' (dual hooks) or sometimes "hu tou gou" (tiger head hook) or "qian kun ri yue dao" (heaven and earth, sun and moon sword), the famous hook sword, a weapon typically dual-wielded for deadly results, able to slice and pierce not just with the blade, but even with the handguard or the pommel.
# ''Gozhao'' (hooked claws). The "older" version of WolverineClaws is sometimes seen in the hands of martial artists, though sometimes depicted as a claw-shaped mace on a shaft known as wo.
# ''Bian'' (whip). Usually depicted as some sort of flexible cudgel or a chain with several metal segments in it, ending with a sharp one. The former is similar to the jian [[note]] written differently from jian as sword [[/note]], a short wooden/bronze truncheon often used in pairs in a similar way to the bian.

* In ''Film/ViolentShit III: Infantry of Doom'' of all places, a group of inexplicable ''ninja'' shows up in broad daylight, out of a forest and using [[CriticalResearchFailure clearly chinese swords]] including a single dao, a pair of butterfly swords and dual hookswords. Aside from the ninja outfits, it could work.

* ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'': downplayed with the first openly chinese character Wan Fu, whose weapons across the series included a huge dadao and an oversized chui, but seems to be more TheBrute rather than the true blue martial artist one'd expect. Played straight by Yunfei in later titles, a mystic warrior with a more kung fu-like moveset using a dao as his weapon.

* [[TheDragon Hakuryuu]] from ''Anime/LupinIIIStolenLupin'' is a Chinese-looking martial artist who challenges Goemon's [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Zantetsuken]] with his jian (trying to take advantage of the Iaijutsu's weakness). Subverted when his real trump card is shown to be a rather unorthodox fighting style: lead bullets and/or pebbles shot from his clenched hands like actual pistol bullets.
* ''Anime/SwordOfTheStranger'': The Ming mercenaries who constantly opposes Nanashi and Kotaro are depicted using traditional wushu weapons, including hooks, halberds, twin scythes and the classic ''jian''.
* ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'': in ''Lethal Lunacy'', the AxCrazy villain Ukon used to be a normal samurai before his trip to China. There not only he learnt martial arts and seemingly KiAttacks but he also changed his uchigatana for a typical dao.

* Extremely common in Creator/ShawBrothers martial arts movies, especially if they're historical period pieces.
** ''Film/OneArmedSwordsman'': The second movie of the series have the titular protagonist battling against a legion of elite killers armed with various stock wushu weaponry, including whips, hammers, spears, and axes.
** ''Film/TheAvengingEagle'' revolves around a group of 13 assassins raised from birth to be killers, all who uses different wushu-themed weapons, including the ''jian'', ''qiang'', ''gozhao'', hammers and maces.
** ''Film/TheMagicBlade'' trilogy: The protagonist Fu Hung-hsueh uses dual tonfa swords, and throughout the series have to do battle with enemies using ''jian'', halberds, whips and axes.
** ''Film/LegendaryWeaponsOfChina'' is ''made'' of this trope. As it's title suggest, all eighteen examples on the page image does show up, being used by various expert martial artists.

* The updated logo for the Ten Rings in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' sports a pair of crossing ''shuang gou'', and [[ShockAndAwe electrified]] hook swords are standard armaments for its modern day troops. The inhabitants of Ta-Lo uses more mundane Wushu weapons such as staves, arrows and dadao forged with dragon scales.

* ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters The King of Fighters XI]]'': Shion is the only Wushu practitioner in the franchise and equips a Qiang in his default state. It will go away if he's hit or [[StanceSystem he switches to another stance]] but as long as he has it, it gives him [[SNKBoss incredible reach]].

* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'', being based on the ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' has plenty of warriors using both the expected, classical weapons in conjunction with athletic movesets calling martial arts to mind, such as Zhao Yun (whose flexible spear actually became its own weapon type as "Dragon Spear"), Xiahou Dun (dadao user, again his giant sword became a separate weapon type from the standard "sword") Dian Wei (massive Yue), Zhang Liao (goliandao and later dual yue) and many others, though there are subversions (such as Lu Bu using a fangtianji with a more brutal and barbaric fighting style, characters using long-ranged weapons or Zhou Tai using his katana-like dao with a fighting style more akin to battojutsu). From the seventh game onward, you're free to give your playable character the weapons you prefer, especially the 9th entry, which removed some of the [[ImprobableWeaponUser less plausible weapons]].
