Wushu Fan Yao - Arm Fan Video

This video shows how to do a wushu arm fan. In Chinese (Mandarin) this is called "Fan Yao". The arm fan is a basic wushu warm-up exercise and should be done somewhen between the kicks and the wushu jumps. Also check out the animated wushu section or go back to wushu videos main.

Execution

What's important about this exercise is that you keep looking straight forward the whole time (also during the turn). Focus on a point in front of you and then swing your arms in a vertical layer.
Fully extend your arms and keep them aligned while you turn around.
