If gymnastics were really an effective fighting style someone would do it. MMA proves what works in a real fight, fighting within one style doesn't prove its superiority over other styles.
the music actually got throw off half a second late, watch it again and see. the initial bass suppose to come on when zhaochang jun lands the monster jump kick. the youtube upload threw it off. but anyways they taught us how to stunt. even tho nandu is so easy for me, i rather the old way cuz i love the power these poineers possess 1 family!
the sward girl in black and red is really amazing. these guys are really good. they are doing true Wushu. WuSHu today has become a jumping competetion.
My father was born around the creation of wushu. and he was train in wushu and understands it was ineffective in street fight. Afterall back in the past China was harsh and people had to fight for food to survive. He never wushu in street fight because it doesn't work.
In the last decade or so modern wushu has stopped being elite martial arts routines and become mediocre gymnastics. My generation has witnessed the death of an art form. The people who had the devotion and personality to becom elite martial artist have been diverted by some people's dreams of Olympic glory to become practitioners of an empty sport. I agree that Martial arts are not just about fighting, but they are also not just about meaningless flips and butterfly kicks with a 900º twist.
it's funny you say boxing cuz that first guy that does a jump kick and lands on the ground. his name is zhao chang jun, and he had a controlled fight with mohammad ali. yes the boxer. they gave each other mad respect and then became good friends. so that's why i love old school and it rules cuz you can fuck people up and have aestheticism for the ladies too. ;p DY

i thought the intergenre of chinese traditional martials arts and western gangsta rap would be a bold move. haha. sorry if i spoiled it for you. hope you still enjoyed it. the music is off from my original file. i think the upload into youtube screwed it somehow but owell :) dy
i know how to defeat the wushu kufu , is to take control of the person chi throught chi kung or the use of telekinetic skill. my device can train a person into that level. to defeat wushu with chi kung level 9 stage 9. with out movement just pure telekinetic. however chi kung and wushu is from the same branch of yoga sutras movement of chi .
Music is a matter of taste but I must say that I really don´t like to hear this kind of music to this, it really destroy the beauty in it and does not add any kind of beauty to it, but turn the sound of and just enjoy the amazing skills of humans, suddenly you have a video that blow your head away :D
this is the real thing, forget about the new fake forms ! :-) lets all train in this old school way and say no to modern gynastics forms emptied of real martial spirit !
@akrocuba martial arts were originally created for war purpose, there it means its effective in real fight, but nowdays its limited to being official sport and students are trained to avoid killing an opponent. I dont really know how its going on in training, but martial artists also must know about humans body and its vital spots to disable enemy fast, but by the looks of today's martial arts i can say it's only choreography that looks cool.
@MrNormalton you don't understand what he is saying! what he means is that 'kung fu' is the term commonly used for chinese martial arts in the western world, while 'wushu' is the term used by people in china. in america, when people say wushu, they usually mean the contemporary performance-oriented sport. in china, wushu just means 'martial art,' and can refer to either the sport or traditional chinese martial arts. 'kung fu' is a term than means 'work and time,' stuck in the american lexicon.
@zigzigerblat Traditional what? Kung Fu is a western term for martial arts. I train in "traditional" and Tai Chi, oh that's right, we call it Wushu. Wushu is not taolu it is all aspects; taolu, san da, tai chi, chin na, animal styles, weapons. I've just come back from training in Beijing at the sports university and it's all taught in one place as Wushu. Different teachers specialise but if you're at a club at home you need to find one who does it all. Or maybe i'm just lucky to have one. Peace
@ikterion alright, challenge an MMA/BJJ etc fighter and see what happens. He doesn't have to be a big name, there are MMA and BJJ gyms all over the place. Everyone on youtube jumps at the chance to "defend" their chosen art and degrade others in the process, but I'd like to see any of them say any of this directly to MMA/UFC fighters such as Georges St. Pierre, Karo Parisyan, or Anderson Silva. Wushu is beautiful, but if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
@PsychoKungFu Also, the "rules" you seem to be against are there to ensure the fight doesn't end in death or permanent injury, which in turn ensures the potential for many more years of activity for the defeated fighter. But, essentially, I would seriously doubt you really know anything about martial arts beyond what you've read on wikipedia and seen in Bruce Lee (RIP) movies, and any true appreciator of martial arts is open to all martial arts, despite the fact people are partial to their own
@PsychoKungFu The UFC has plenty of skilled fighters who train in styles from all over the world. By no means is Chinese Wushu or Kung Fu of any type completely ineffective, if that was the case how would the traditions last the many centuries they have? But the fact of the matter is if you're trained strictly in striking arts as are most modern Wushu practitioners, a simple take down leading to a choke or arm bar can end a fight.
@SpaceTrollMuthaFuka Wushu is a form of kunfu. It's not necessarily about combat. Wushu is literally a sport that focuses on the demonstration aspect of kung-fu. So yes, using most of the techniques demonstrated would be absolutely useless in actual combat, but this martial art still requires an immense amount of practice, choreography, and precision. The movements performed in this video are a lot harder than most people think.
This is very entertaining. The problem with the guys arguing below is they keep using the term kung fu, its not the 1970's! Kung-fu is a pointless term nowadays, in fact even the term "martial arts" is pointless as no single person can agree what it means, and the people who compile dictionaries and encyclopedias are not any better! ( appologies to people who's style has either of those phrases in its name, I am talking about the general usage of those terms not any specific style).
im well aware that the new shaolin kung fu isnt the same but tell me what styles on kung fu nowadays that is actually practical without any modifications? to be honest u have to trace back thousands of history to find 'true' kung fu and we can only moan about whats lost. even how experienced a modern hung gar or wing chun practitioner , he/she would not be using the same hung gar thousands of yrs ago as its all been modified. yes modern wushu is indeed controversial but thats the way it is
to come across to me as u havent seen these forms before. even the old northern kung fu has always been well known for flying kicks/high kicks. there are many variations of monkey style and in this video its shows monkey staff, which the guy is doing, is one of the correct forms of monkey kung fu. youtube it and even the shaolin monks have performed it. like i said many times these forms arent for beating someone up.
no, everyone laughs at these videos because they lack understanding of these competitions and think its'dancing.' ive done traditional styleslike hung gar before. like i said if u enteredthese competitions like some of friends did, its about physical skills, not fighting. besides alot of these wushu practioners aim to make it suceesful in the movie industry not beating each other up.
lol when you mention old school i hope you mean old school wushu techniques not old school kung fu. If you meant old school kung fu, then I consider that as an insult. To me, real kung fu does not consist of much fancy movements just moves that are actually applicaple in real life. I am very skeptic when it comes to wushu old or modern because it is considered "the new generation or style" of kung fu and I do not like that. Sure its nice to look at, but useless in actual combat.
i was replying to a comment made on here. sometimes it's hard to tell if a comment is in response to someone else. yes the root of all martial arts if fighting. but contemporary wushu is one of the MOST impractical when it comes to applications. it has evolved for the sake of routines and show. not for fighting. if you follow wushu (i'm assuming you don't since you don't know what the "new stuff" is) you would see how it has changed over the past decade.
Well I didn't really say all wushu is inaffective I mostly meant modern wushu. Real wushu like shaolin wushu is a very affective martial art but modern wushu is mostly for entertainment. It really depends on the style and especially the person. I know it's self defense but I'm talking about combat. The truth is just the training can't really help you be a good fighter. People need practice in real combat to be a good fight.
I know people who were in martial art training, mostly wushu for many years and they can't fight to save their lives but they can do flips.Modern wushu people don't train for combat their basic kicks are like tornado and butterfly which is flying in the air kicks which are weak because of gravity, it makes the impact softer. Wushu was originated from Gong Fu which was a real combat style but still gong fu stylist understand what technique to use in actual combat.
Dude. The perfect example of a wushu fighter is SERKAN YILMAZ. His from Wushu Europe Championship. Most wushu guys end up fighting like a common kickboxer but YILMAZ shows his ChangQuan shit!!! Fans like him even when he loses! I hope more fighters can show their martial art when they fight instead of geting desprate to win. Dont you agree? Anyway YILMAZ is impressive in a fight you wont be disapointed:)
All these are very famous and previous China National and International Wu Shu and Kung Fu Champions. Of course, there more. You can see their focus, flexibility, balance, speed, power. Do they have to fight with others to prove themselves? No! Just one punch, kick, turn, push, or any move can tell the difference and level.
its not the kind of martial arts or fighting styles or how u fight that matters its more about the amount of skill one has. if u can do anything perfectly it shoudl be affective but no one can do anything exactly perfect everytime so dont fight or take offense in what someone says about your prefered style or type of martial arts.
i agree with the last sentence... but still the word kungfu has nothing to do with martial arts...at all :D i mean in the chinese language. In chinese, it mean "skill". And that skill can be also in cooking, driving etc. I just want to point out, that many understand word Wushu as a name for competitive style of chinese martial arts. And thats simply wrong. Thank you! :)
@Blogdub hahah dude all ufc is MMA(mixed martial arts) if u put these guys in the octagan chuck lidel, rashad even, or all thoes other fighters will prolly knocked out or dead most of mma is kick bocking and judo or jujitsu wich is grappling, hooking,chokes,locks so you wouldnt want to see one of these guys in the octagan,trust me it would be all bad
Awesome video but I'm sorry to say that the hip hop music behind it is horrible it ruins the whole thing. You should've kept the music in the beginning or put some traditional asian drums and string music behind to really pay it tribute. Just an opinion not my intention to insult so please don't take it that way
nvm my comment about writing in response to someone. apparently it was your comment. your original comment suggested that you don't know much about wushu. like sport karate, it's all about show, doing crazy stuff that pple can say oooh and ahhh to. pple that train wushu don't do it so they can go fight or learn to kick someone's ass in the ufc.
Most modern wushu stylist doesn't understand the strength of and impact hit mostly because they aren't train to hit people. Fancy foot work doesn't mean you can fight but is can be intimidating if people are ignorant. But still wushu can be effective if the person using it understand the physical strength of the technique.
You can really kills someone with wushu if you know how to use it. but still in most training they don't want you to know how to train for combat because you really don't need to know in this modern times because it's not like you are going to war with hand to hand combat. Unlike back in the past when guns and bombs wasn't invented hand to hand combat was all there is for war.
@ONIGATO Wushu is a totally seperate sport. The self defense aspect is called chin-na. The fighting aspect is called san da / san shou. And the bit you're watching is called taolu. Kung fu is nothing like this, trust me (or go to a kung fu school and judge for yourself).
@PsychoKungFu why not just be happy about everything and learn from it? you can even learn from mma. try not to judge so much. a true master does these things, i hope you have matured over the past 8 months since you posted...well not matured, learned/changed, or not have fun.
but you are tlaking about sountern style like hung gar/wing chun etc which their stance are rooted from the ground. northern is pretty much this and no, backflips arent for evading anything. try not to view this as fighting and admire their physical skills as thats modern wushu.
i hearu andiknow alotof ppl tho thinks likeu but this is modern wushu, (not traditional even thos the title says so) the whole point of these competitions isnt for fighting whatsoever. in fact modern wushu is now seprate into forms like this video and full contact such as sanda/sanshou.
i think u missed the point. these are wushu competitions to display their physical aspects of martial arts and no they wouldnt use flips from the head eg to fight whatsoever as this isnt for contact. wushu sanda is for full contact. please do some research or learn some history
they are exactly the same thing, Kungfu is big words, in chinese it means the time and energy you will spent on something. the relationship between them is similar to the thing between father and Dad. Wushu is more formal word , it only means all those fightling skill
hm I did not like much the style of the one with whithe powder in his hands he has got an awesome battterfly kick but that cloth on his sword hmm don like it takes o lot of style from him makes him look more like drunken boxing and to hoyt goblin I say he has no likes
I'm 22 and I'm about to take my red belt tests for hapkido and wushu. The technique that these guys have are unreachable by all but the most devoted (probably professional), but there's a couple black belt guys at our dojang (26 and 33) that use weapons like this and whatnot. Short answer: no.
sure there was weapon like arrows but they can run out fast and afterward it's hand to hand combat with spears and sword. the style of training gong fu is build for these kind of combats. but modern wushu isn't. Do modern people need to learn how to fight. probably not.
Dude, most Wushu ChangQuan guy end up fighting like any other kickboxers when they fight(sad). You want to see who can actually fight using ChangQuan? Check out SERKAN YILMAZ your question will be answered. And dont listen to the BS about him a TKD guy. Go research and you'll see.
best martial arts video ive seen so far, good song also, id give anything to move to china and learn wushu and shaolin from the monks bet theres berly any now adays, but for all of us average joes we gatta learn from people just trying to make a dollar
:( damn that was a really cool movie. Martial arts changed during the years? Can someone plz tell me how? I never witnessed it, but I feel like this video about wushu looks more like martial arts than what martial arts are today...
ah, back when wushu could still be called martial arts. I'm sure if it was as beautiful as it used to be, it would have probably made it as an olympic sport. Now it looks like gymnastics. The rhythm is all wack and there's no martialness at all.
:D its so funny to read comment like this... you dont speak chinese... am i right? because, if you would speak chinese you would understand the difference between word "kungfu" and "wushu" and you would not write such nonsense.
while it is true the forms created 4 wushu is not ment for fighting but it depends on the wushu skool u go to i had a firned who went to a wushu skool b4 n they trained non stop in sanda along with their forms
really, you used to practise Wushu? it is great, i never got a chance to do it, despite becoming a kungfu master is my dream since i was a brat. (you know, because of those novels and movies;-)
dude this is old scghool this was the way samuri was that hard to beat ... all the people shown in the vid would you knock out in about five seconds gl hf trying to beat them xD "no use" lol
Amazing displays of pure Wu-Shu.. imagine a few if the top wu-shu performers stepped into the UFC ring, back when it first started with basicly no rules.. what ever happened it would be quick!!
folks... those Chinese martial artists are doing perfomance... just like the way in N America.. some Karate fighters may do the so-called "free style" for performance sometimes... lol
It may be artistical and all but man those people can really knock you unconcious... they've mastered these things, I don't think a thug or whatever would stand a chance! NOT ONE!!!
lol you're hilarious seriously, don't give up i'm sure you will develop skills. These performers are the absolute limit I guess you'd have to become animal to outdo them.
depends on your focus, some people doens't want to train just to fight thugs. i like the pratical kung fu better. it seems that modern wushu is more gymnastics competition
i loved the music with the videos, niggas know how to make a beat. I like diferent things put togheter..really it's a matter of taste, 5 stars the video is perfect for me
that is where martial arts begin... not xma... :D okay they can do amazing jumps.. but they cant do a f.ckin punch kyusho jitsu, kung fu, okinawan karate, pencak silat, chi-kung, capoeira, ryue ryu, kempo, todi jutsu etc... every martial arts has the same root... theres no difference between martial art and martial art.... only between people and their toughts... soo Martial Arts 4 life :P:D and sorry for my horible english :D
If you are talking about MMA or what not it is useful as far as spiritual/mind focus training andflexibility goes. Kung-fu and Jujitsu have good synergy together.
Y precisamente mañana asisto a un torneo estatal de WuShu... Mi sifu me recomendó no ver nada relacionado con ello, pero es lo primero que hago xD Dudo que algun dia llegue a tener el rendimiento de esas personas, pero siempre son una fuente de inspiración para avanzar ^^ Muuuy rara combinacion de musica-video, pero me agradó, fue innovador o.O
Stop complaining, the rap fits in perfect for this video. If the music "Killed the video" it wouldn't maintain 4 stars. just appreciate what been shown to you.
Maybe they like the song. If you don't like it, make a video and put the music you like, besides do you think classical Chinese music would sound good with this?
what is wrong with you... every video about matrial art i see "its not gonna help you vs Stree fight" Street fight cant even fight :| they just throwing hands and legs they cant even understand what they are doing! so why the guy who trained more then 10 years will lose ? what the hell?? sorry about my grammer ..
@PsychoKungFu i agree with u, but what i dont agree with is that its an american thing, MMA and sports fighting is all over the world, not just america
I agree with you Wushu or should I say modern Wushu is more like gymnastics than combat style. It's mostly for show not a very affective fighting style.
i was thinking the same thing.. wushu and then some nob rapper who prides himself of being straight out of prison and for having been shot x many times
nice video editin. I could care less for the song, I actually don't like 50 cent's music. But a good amount of the editing had the movements on beat & synced with the music. Dope video
After 4 years this is STILL the best wushu vid on UA-cam.
I’m here after 18 years and it’s STILL great. Some modern wushu compilations just don’t capture this kind of energy
What is the name of the song?
If gymnastics were really an effective fighting style someone would do it. MMA proves what works in a real fight, fighting within one style doesn't prove its superiority over other styles.
God. If only we could stay young forever!! 😔😏
the music actually got throw off half a second late, watch it again and see. the initial bass suppose to come on when zhaochang jun lands the monster jump kick. the youtube upload threw it off. but anyways they taught us how to stunt.
even tho nandu is so easy for me, i rather the old way cuz i love the power these poineers possess
1 family!
the sward girl in black and red is really amazing. these guys are really good. they are doing true Wushu. WuSHu today has become a jumping competetion.
Yo this video is older than me
ដំបូងស្មានថា សាសន៍គេតាមពិតកម្ពុជាសោះ🇰🇭❤️️🙏😻
My father was born around the creation of wushu. and he was train in wushu and understands it was ineffective in street fight. Afterall back in the past China was harsh and people had to fight for food to survive. He never wushu in street fight because it doesn't work.
unknown is the name of the artist from the first part. if you find out, please tell me too. that song is titled wushu mix.
It's a lil...okay a lot barbaric of me, but I'd love to watch people on this level actually fighting to the death.
In the last decade or so modern wushu has stopped being elite martial arts routines and become mediocre gymnastics. My generation has witnessed the death of an art form.
The people who had the devotion and personality to becom elite martial artist have been diverted by some people's dreams of Olympic glory to become practitioners of an empty sport. I agree that Martial arts are not just about fighting, but they are also not just about meaningless flips and butterfly kicks with a 900º twist.

like i said before zhao chang jun actually fought mohammad ali. so i heard. not sure. maybe someone can confirm?
no, this video was not sped up. they actually look better if you see the whole form of each of these people.
3:48 was that necessary? lol
Anyone has a link or name for the whole video of the gunshu form from 1:21?
Yep. Wushu is not what it used to be. I blame rap music.
i know how to defeat the wushu kufu , is to take control of the person chi throught chi kung or the use of telekinetic skill. my device can train a person into that level. to defeat wushu with chi kung level 9 stage 9. with out movement just pure telekinetic. however chi kung and wushu is from the same branch of yoga sutras movement of chi .

nvm my comment about writing in response to someone. apparently it was your comment. your original comment suggested that you don't know much about wushu. like sport karate, it's all about show, doing crazy stuff that pple can say oooh and ahhh to. pple that train wushu don't do it so they can go fight or learn to kick someone's ass in the ufc.
Most modern wushu stylist doesn't understand the strength of and impact hit mostly because they aren't train to hit people. Fancy foot work doesn't mean you can fight but is can be intimidating if people are ignorant. But still wushu can be effective if the person using it understand the physical strength of the technique.
You can really kills someone with wushu if you know how to use it. but still in most training they don't want you to know how to train for combat because you really don't need to know in this modern times because it's not like you are going to war with hand to hand combat. Unlike back in the past when guns and bombs wasn't invented hand to hand combat was all there is for war.
@ONIGATO Wushu is a totally seperate sport. The self defense aspect is called chin-na. The fighting aspect is called san da / san shou. And the bit you're watching is called taolu. Kung fu is nothing like this, trust me (or go to a kung fu school and judge for yourself).
@PsychoKungFu why not just be happy about everything and learn from it? you can even learn from mma. try not to judge so much. a true master does these things, i hope you have matured over the past 8 months since you posted...well not matured, learned/changed, or not have fun.
but you are tlaking about sountern style like hung gar/wing chun etc which their stance are rooted from the ground. northern is pretty much this and no, backflips arent for evading anything. try not to view this as fighting and admire their physical skills as thats modern wushu.
i hearu andiknow alotof ppl tho thinks likeu but this is modern wushu, (not traditional even thos the title says so) the whole point of these competitions isnt for fighting whatsoever. in fact modern wushu is now seprate into forms like this video and full contact such as sanda/sanshou.
i think u missed the point. these are wushu competitions to display their physical aspects of martial arts and no they wouldnt use flips from the head eg to fight whatsoever as this isnt for contact. wushu sanda is for full contact. please do some research or learn some history
they are exactly the same thing, Kungfu is big words, in chinese it means the time and energy you will spent on something. the relationship between them is similar to the thing between father and Dad. Wushu is more formal word , it only means all those fightling skill
hm I did not like much the style of the one with whithe powder in his hands he has got an awesome battterfly kick but that cloth on his sword hmm don like it takes o lot of style from him makes him look more like drunken boxing and to hoyt goblin I say he has no likes
I'm 22 and I'm about to take my red belt tests for hapkido and wushu. The technique that these guys have are unreachable by all but the most devoted (probably professional), but there's a couple black belt guys at our dojang (26 and 33) that use weapons like this and whatnot. Short answer: no.
sure there was weapon like arrows but they can run out fast and afterward it's hand to hand combat with spears and sword. the style of training gong fu is build for these kind of combats. but modern wushu isn't. Do modern people need to learn how to fight. probably not.
Dude, most Wushu ChangQuan guy end up fighting like any other kickboxers when they fight(sad). You want to see who can actually fight using ChangQuan? Check out SERKAN YILMAZ your question will be answered. And dont listen to the BS about him a TKD guy. Go research and you'll see.
best martial arts video ive seen so far, good song also, id give anything to move to china and learn wushu and shaolin from the monks bet theres berly any now adays, but for all of us average joes we gatta learn from people just trying to make a dollar
:( damn that was a really cool movie. Martial arts changed during the years? Can someone plz tell me how? I never witnessed it, but I feel like this video about wushu looks more like martial arts than what martial arts are today...
ah, back when wushu could still be called martial arts. I'm sure if it was as beautiful as it used to be, it would have probably made it as an olympic sport. Now it looks like gymnastics. The rhythm is all wack and there's no martialness at all.
:D its so funny to read comment like this... you dont speak chinese... am i right? because, if you would speak chinese you would understand the difference between word "kungfu" and "wushu" and you would not write such nonsense.
while it is true the forms created 4 wushu is not ment for fighting but it depends on the wushu skool u go to i had a firned who went to a wushu skool b4 n they trained non stop in sanda along with their forms
really, you used to practise Wushu? it is great, i never got a chance to do it, despite becoming a kungfu master is my dream since i was a brat. (you know, because of those novels and movies;-)
dude this is old scghool this was the way samuri was that hard to beat ... all the people shown in the vid would you knock out in about five seconds gl hf trying to beat them xD "no use" lol
Amazing displays of pure Wu-Shu.. imagine a few if the top wu-shu performers stepped into the UFC ring, back when it first started with basicly no rules.. what ever happened it would be quick!!
folks... those Chinese martial artists are doing perfomance...
just like the way in N America.. some Karate fighters may do the so-called "free style" for performance sometimes... lol
It may be artistical and all but man those people can really knock you unconcious... they've mastered these things, I don't think a thug or whatever would stand a chance! NOT ONE!!!
lol you're hilarious
seriously, don't give up i'm sure you will develop skills. These performers are the absolute limit I guess you'd have to become animal to outdo them.
depends on your focus, some people doens't want to train just to fight thugs. i like the pratical kung fu better. it seems that modern wushu is more gymnastics competition
i loved the music with the videos, niggas know how to make a beat. I like diferent things put togheter..really it's a matter of taste, 5 stars the video is perfect for me
that is where martial arts begin... not xma... :D okay they can do amazing jumps.. but they cant do a f.ckin punch
kyusho jitsu, kung fu, okinawan karate, pencak silat, chi-kung, capoeira, ryue ryu, kempo, todi jutsu etc... every martial arts has the same root... theres no difference between martial art and martial art.... only between people and their toughts... soo Martial Arts 4 life :P:D and sorry for my horible english :D
If you are talking about MMA or what not it is useful as far as spiritual/mind focus training andflexibility goes. Kung-fu and Jujitsu have good synergy together.
Y precisamente mañana asisto a un torneo estatal de WuShu... Mi sifu me recomendó no ver nada relacionado con ello, pero es lo primero que hago xD
Dudo que algun dia llegue a tener el rendimiento de esas personas, pero siempre son una fuente de inspiración para avanzar ^^
Muuuy rara combinacion de musica-video, pero me agradó, fue innovador o.O
Stop complaining, the rap fits in perfect for this video. If the music "Killed the video" it wouldn't maintain 4 stars. just appreciate what been shown to you.
Maybe they like the song. If you don't like it, make a video and put the music you like, besides do you think classical Chinese music would sound good with this?
what is wrong with you... every video about matrial art i see "its not gonna help you vs Stree fight" Street fight cant even fight :| they just throwing hands and legs they cant even understand what they are doing! so why the guy who trained more then 10 years will lose ? what the hell?? sorry about my grammer ..
@PsychoKungFu i agree with u, but what i dont agree with is that its an american thing, MMA and sports fighting is all over the world, not just america
I agree with you Wushu or should I say modern Wushu is more like gymnastics than combat style. It's mostly for show not a very affective fighting style.
i was thinking the same thing.. wushu and then some nob rapper who prides himself of being straight out of prison and for having been shot x many times
wushu isn't about fighting? old school wushu is much better than all of the new stuff now. it's starting to resemble port karate too much.
great video!
music sucks, music dosnt go with it at all, this is chinese not american
try some chinese kung fu music would suit much better
can anyone find the video featuring yuan wen qing's jianshu (straight sword)? It used to be up somewhere, but i cannot find it now....
i totally agree. nowadays they add a lot of tricking and stuff into wushu. i admit it is cool but the traditional style is way better.
music sucks, but the vid is cool
I wonder how they would end up in a real fight. I think this is just pure art... i don't think they would beat any MMA fighter...
Why the ghetto music?! WHY WHY WHY the ghetto music... I have taught Shaolin for over 10 years and Ghetto music just doesn't FIT!
what's the difference between old rules kung fu and new rule kung fu please ?
I practice wushu is this old or new rules kung fu ?
Very nice complilation, that guy doing the Gun Shu demo at 1.20 is damn good.
Do anybody knows the song playing during the video?
wow Twycross
OBVIOUSLY you know NOTHING about kung fu.
It is these styles that make Kung Fu and Wushu so special. Kung fu power!
What everyone has to realise is that it is a comp/demo of course its going to be flashy, how do you think they get new students
nice video editin. I could care less for the song, I actually don't like 50 cent's music. But a good amount of the editing had the movements on beat & synced with the music. Dope video
esto es artes marciales no lo creo es puro espertaculo joder que mala imagen dan a la artes marciales de verdad
we new gen. cant even compare to old skool -.-x all we do now is pretty much tricking wushu
WHO CAN SPIN MORE?!?!?!!? WOOT!
very simple. the person who posted it is named wushustuntsteam, or wushu stunts team, and the name of the song is "stunt".
palomopran...only one thing...he is a legend! the best! don't say he has no style, he is a model for today's wushu students
oh so wut shall we put on dis vid den?hmmm??since u think its an insult to kung fu....which really doesnt make fukin sense
I even recognize the stuff that I've been doing. Of course, it doesn't look this good, but you have to start somewhere.
the whole point of the song was there a "stunt team" and they'll "teach u how to stunt" hmmmmmm something to think about?
Does anyone know the name of the drunken guy in white or know where i can find a vid of him? thanks,
Awesome video btw!
isnt this back wen mao was takin over china? this is wen the chinese ppl were the strongest in everything they did...
