Trainer advice: Wushu

  • In china everybody starts with longfist ( chang quan ) . The basic jumps and kicks are the very first things to be learned.
    After that students either learn staff and broadsword or spear and straightsword.
    It usally takes years until students are allowed to learn traditional hand styles and weapons.
    Even if you are not young enough to start with the acrobatic jumps used in modern wushu,
    you should practice the basics and know how the jumps work.
  • Build up flexibility first. The stretchkicks have to be practiced at least 4 times per week.
  • Basic floor gymnastics is a must for everybody who is interested in modern wushu.
