The word WuShu can both be used as a term for chinese martial arts in general and the sport WuShu. Training traditional WuShu doesn't mean you can't train and compete in the sport WuShu and vice versa. The average WuShu athlete is alot more conditioned than the average traditional WuShu practitioner.
As Bruce Lee said "In Martial Arts you have to be true to your self, to fight you have to prepare every part of the body". And this for Wushu too, if some body thinks it is not a Martial Art they are lying to them self. I do Wushu too and i love it. Keep it real.
yup yup, no martial art is superior to any other. Every style has its weakness. Wushu is quick but most of its strike are not strong. Karate is a bit slower but each strike is worth its lower speed.
in my opinion, a lot of people dont look at wushu as an art form, nobody really fights like this in ancient china, sure it may be 'cool' to imagine they actually did, and many folk tales suggest they did, but they didnt it is an art, much like how dancing is to the latin cultures, wushu is the dance of the chinese (and most of east asian cultures). it requires coordination, stamina, elegance, and posture. giving it the eye catchy and spectator aspect much like performance dancing. :)
It is hard, " The good things come in a hard way" (Greek proverb), because it is extreme martial arts, and you need years of basic training this is meant to be practise for seniors kung fu players now every one dose it and they break their knees in the first jumps. I'm not afraid of doing some thing i love. Tips: Find a good teacher and he will tell you what you need to do.
Err, it was designed as a form of meditation. The art that is some what like dancing is the brazilian art, Capoeira, and when they practiced it, it was done in a circle while there were music playing. I think there was something to do about slaves to. As for Karate, it's just branched off of Kung Fu, like many many many other arts that are out there. *Shrugs*
The training in wushu is far superior than that of other non Chinese martial arts and for that reason, people can't handle the training and thus they speak against the art. Do the research. Knowledge is power - wisdom is the application.
Jackie Chan uses a style of stage fighting. He never practiced an actual martial art. Though I'm very sure, based on his moves, that the roots of his stage fighting are in Wushu. Bruce Lee originally practiced a form of Wushu known as Gung Fu. This he perfected along with the moves he learned from the other styles he studied briefly to create his own style, Jeet Kune Do. I can't tell you much about Jet Li since I'm not a fan of him.
Omg, gung fu is no style in itself. And Bruce Lee did some Wing Chun, and Jackie practiced some Choy Lee Fut. Though when Jackie trained at the Peking Opera it was not CLF, but Wushu something. And Jet Li was the champ in Wushu something at age 12,13,14, and 15. more or less, stage fighting.
yeah but everyone on fight science were different weights. so there fore it doesn't prove anything. the boxing guy was the most heavy thus he punched the strongest. was still interesting to watch though
how do u know that they are ussualy buddhists? they are not monks form shaolin, they are athletes and they performs modern wu shu what is not for fighting. For fighting is traditional wu shu (better known as kung fu, however kung fu means every thing what need hard work and long time), traditional kung fu is for example: watch?v=oXBLeSjBsnQ&feature=related
I am sick and tired of people bad talking wushu. As long as you have a teacher that can teach you application of the art you will be able to contend with any of the other weaker martial arts (non Chinese based martial arts). People just have the wrong idea of what Wushu is. Its just like learning Karate or Taekwondo, its not good enough unless your teacher teaches you how to use it - no matter what style you learn.
Wushu is not so much a single form of martial art as it is an amalgamation of different schools that have been highly stylized for performance and competition. The history of wushu really got its start when the early Chinese government banned the teaching of combative martial arts for fear of rebellion. As a result many practitioners found an outlet in a stylized form of traditional martial art styles designed for show performance rather than combat.
yea u can overcome it but then there r ppl that r tryin to overcome u if ur competing with urself thats great im pretty sure ne1 can accomplish that with the right mindset but if u competing against sum1 else sumtimes they r just better than u n that age factor can be that deciding factor
the contempory forms u c in competiton was designed for performances but how ever just cuz those forms r ment for performance doesnt mean wushu ppl dun train to fight it all depends on the skool really i know wushu skools taht dun teahc u how to fight n i knew wushu skool that foucses heavily on fighting
You don't even ned to look that far. Look at wushu from the 70's and 80's when the athletes trained in traditional styles alongside their competition forms. It was such a unique sport, completely unquantifiable and they have butchered it to the point that it has become a mixture of figure skating and gymnastics, but with lower quality movements! What's the point? Why lower the quality of something just to make it Olympic ready? It was so good without the need to be an Olympic sport.
but u cant just expect urself to be the 1 training the hardest thats just wishful thinking there r countless ppl training hard n even harder than u everyone will get surpassed eventually when age catches up with em if u want to do things u gota do it young dun waste 2 many years n start things when ur old im speaking from a perfectionist perspective even the masters ive talked to agreed if u want to gain extreme skills u need to start young starting old severely handicaps u
well lets say u start training at 30 n another guy started training when he was 5 well then u just wasted 25 years point is if u want ot be better than certain people u also u need to train longer than them if both fo u r training at the same level but the otehr guy trained way earlier than u ur disadvantaged
u dont have a clue. since my first post got obviously deleted. Just to give u some hints: Zhou Dynasty (and im not even sure wether i am correct and it asnt even before this period). its not only a martial art, its a way of life, which bu will never understand.
Further, the wushu is based off the five traditional northern fist - cha, hua, hong, pao, and shaolin quan. Get it traditional Chinese martial arts systems. Do your research and stop spreading false information. Its people who do not have a full knowledge of the art and who have never studied the art who speak of wushu in these manners.
@RadiantAce : Application of the art is one of the most important things in martial arts. It's the ''Martial'' in martial art. Otherwise you would be practicing a performance art. Like you say, then it looks like a dance, which is RIDICULOUS. Sparring is equally important. It leads to a better understanding of what ''fighting'' is. Forms are just forms. But forms are not the goal. Formlessness is the goal. Focus too much on forms and you are living a lie.
@Drake23thein ; I love Chinese people. I love Chinese history, art and philosophy. And I love Traditional Kung Fu. But what I don't love is the Chinese Government; They banned all the greatest martial artists and then try to cover it up by hiring GYMNASTS and creating this fake martial art called ''Wushu''. They used Wushu because they couldn't use kung fu, because this isn't kung fu. It's gymnastics! This whole video is propaganda. Can't you see that? You must be blind.
Wu Shu is all flashy theres not a lot of power in it compared to other martial arts.....western boxing has the strongest punch while korean tae kwon do and the proper style of muai tai kick boxing(not that shitty kickboxing everyone is doin where ye only punch and kick) have the strongest kicks...this HAS been scientifically proven check out the science of fighting where they test out a lot of different styles of fighting
People are in Wushu for the Martial Art, if there is not Martial Arts it is disappointing, useless and no spirit. Wushu mean Martial Arts if doesn't apply is better to do gymnastics or Pilate at list has more meaning then breaking knees by doing Wushu.
I dont want to talk about it further, since u wont get it anyway. Just keep in mind: the next time u want to comment sth. perhaps you should at least inform u about the basics first.

Well, it's never too late to try. The hope is what leaves first, not the opportunity. Dedication my man, dedication.
Wow...I love Chang Quan and Jian Shu...
WUSHU RULES! *_*
Loved the video. It's all about unity.
in my opinion, a lot of people dont look at wushu as an art form, nobody really fights like this in ancient china, sure it may be 'cool' to imagine they actually did, and many folk tales suggest they did, but they didnt

@Drake23thein : Go do some gymnastics like butterfly kick.
Omg, gung fu is no style in itself. And Bruce Lee did some Wing Chun, and Jackie practiced some Choy Lee Fut. Though when Jackie trained at the Peking Opera it was not CLF, but Wushu something.
And Jet Li was the champ in Wushu something at age 12,13,14, and 15. more or less, stage fighting.
the vid is very ccool .. but the dao is in modern wushu the same like the jian
well u can definetly do it 4 health but to gain extreme skils u need to do it as young as possible
yeah but everyone on fight science were different weights. so there fore it doesn't prove anything. the boxing guy was the most heavy thus he punched the strongest. was still interesting to watch though
i mean in modern wushu there is not many space between the jian and the dao, not like in trand wushu
how do u know that they are ussualy buddhists? they are not monks form shaolin, they are athletes and they performs modern wu shu what is not for fighting. For fighting is traditional wu shu (better known as kung fu, however kung fu means every thing what need hard work and long time), traditional kung fu is for example: watch?v=oXBLeSjBsnQ&feature=related
i think u can see jet lee's video, he learn wushu when he was yong:) ci ao.

aagag
the real question is wat if ur both 45 n he trained for 40 years while u only trianed for 15
but u cant just expect urself to be the 1 training the hardest thats just wishful thinking there r countless ppl training hard n even harder than u everyone will get surpassed eventually when age catches up with em if u want to do things u gota do it young dun waste 2 many years n start things when ur old im speaking from a perfectionist perspective even the masters ive talked to agreed if u want to gain extreme skills u need to start young starting old severely handicaps u
what?,
wushu isnt about flexibility or how high you can jump it is for killing people
they used to use tis to destroy enemies and it worked
el video es muy interesante por lo que mi amigo angel me trauma espero q no se dejen traumar
Yes, it is possible, just search for a Kung-Fu Academy wich teacthes Wushu,, and ever is too late =D
well lets say u start training at 30 n another guy started training when he was 5 well then u just wasted 25 years point is if u want ot be better than certain people u also u need to train longer than them if both fo u r training at the same level but the otehr guy trained way earlier than u ur disadvantaged
if you don't like wushu then why do you keep on watching wushu videos then, like the wushu vids of children in Beijing?
thats what im talking about yes
but this is the same just over accentuateded
u dont have a clue. since my first post got obviously deleted. Just to give u some hints: Zhou Dynasty (and im not even sure wether i am correct and it asnt even before this period). its not only a martial art, its a way of life, which bu will never understand.
