aznkarateboi Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I went to watch a modern wushu tournament today. It was amazing. There were like 5 year old kids doing aerials and 540s and stuff. Their hands were fast as lightning too.. who cares if they cant fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Monkey Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 but the really interesting bit is, how much training would it then take to teach them to fight? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Breakdancer Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 alot considering you would have to teach them not to use flips and 540s in a fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Monkey Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 um, anyone with half a brain would know what not to use in a fight. what i was talking about was that these guys, at five, already have flexible and strong bodies, good handspeed, good control of body movement etc etc... how much sparring/training would it take to hone their display skils into fighting skills? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Icetuete Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 it probably would have been better for fighting if they had put the effort (and the steroids?) needed for the 540s into punching and kicking.who cares if they cant fight?if they dont care probably noone does.

rb Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 you don't need steroids to do a 540 or greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBucket Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 >I went to watch a modern wushu tournament today. >It was amazing. Yup. Wushu is amazingly cool to watch. That's sort of the point. >There were like 5 year old kids doing aerials and 540s and stuff. If you'd like to try to learn some of that yourself, there are some attempts at tutorials at http://www.bilang.com. Getting someone to teach you, would of course be much better. >It probably would have been better for fighting if >they had put the effort Sure...but you don't take Wushu to learn to fight. You take it specifically so you can look cool, or as my instructor says 'to be beautiful.'

Treebranch Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Wushu is a beautiful art, I stress the word art.
