welcome to watchmojo.com
I’m your host Derek and today we’re
going to discover wushu basically wushu
is kungfu except with more of an
emphasis on the demonstrational aspect
so what you’ll see is more acrobatics
and more it’s a little more fast-paced
you know i’ve also read that it’s one of
the most more demanding martial arts is
that true well yes because it has heavy
emphasis on acrobatics and that’s never
easy and because of that it’s easy to
injure yourself and it takes longer to
adapt with your body to get used to
doing those movements can you tell me a
bit about how you guys compete and how
you guys are judged normally in a
typical competition you would compete
your empty hand to show up in your long
weapon and those are competed in the
form well what is called forms in
Chinese martial arts and that you are
judged on your speed your intensity the
accuracy of your movements and that has
a lot to do with how with your basic
self is wushu for everyone like can
anyone go out there and start to learn
this pretty much anyone because Russia
was not limited to one style we have
several different styles can you take us
through the moves that’s the fans about
to show us here well the first style
he’s going to show you is long fist
which is an empty hand style we’ll focus
on speed acrobatics and strength
and the second thing is going to show
you is broadsword which is the more
common short weapon which also shares
the same components as long piste
we also have Taichi which is an internal
style which is more slow and more more
internally focused so there’s really
something for everyone we notice that
you use a lot of different weapons how
far along in your training will you get
to use your first weapon somewhere
between three to six months basically
there’s no point learning a weapon until
you have your other basics down and
everyone’s always using different
weapons how do you choose what your
weapon is is it chosen for you or do you
choose it based on your preference it’s
chosen by what you think you would like
best what you think is most appealing
and was suitable for you and it’s
partially based on the opinion of the
future and what he thinks would suit you
best and look best on you solution was
the national sport of China but it’s
going to be introduced at the 2008
Beijing Games how important is this for
the sport I think it’s extremely
important and that it will help the
sport get a lot more exposure and bring
it out into the world one
