Welcome gamble759

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

I never use free weights, I use resistance machines, treadmill, Cross trainer, Bike and Stepper. I go and do a circuit twice a week.

Welcome to the forum! It's interesting to get Chinese martial arts input. I'm actually in Arizona, as well, so let me know if you are interested in stopping into our dojo!

What part of AZ are you in?? I would love to stop in if I am nearby!

Thanks

That's great! People are always asking what martial art is best for them. Never thought of that!

Oh, and welcome to KF!
