gamble759 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks everyone for the nice welcome! I have found Tae Kwon Do and Wushu to be extremely different in the techniques and delivery. Ive had quite a time trying to remember to keep my leg straight when bringing my leg down from a kick. I feel like Wushu suits me pretty well since when I am in Tae Kwon Do I am always being told to tone my movements down.. and Im not sure theres such a thing as being too big/dramatic in Wushu I went to a small tournament last weekend and got first place in taolu (forms) in a beginner division which was pretty cool. There is still so much to learn though.. and after watching the video of my form I can see that there is still a lot to improve on in the form. Does anyone weight train to help improve their martial art?? My sifu and I have been hitting the gym to try and prepare me for some of the difficulties in wushu that I will begin learning next year. Everyone enjoy your week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I never use free weights, I use resistance machines, treadmill, Cross trainer, Bike and Stepper. I go and do a circuit twice a week. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
