Traditional Wushu Handforms
Traditional handforms are traditional Martial
Arts forms without waepons or equipment.
The more traditional a Style is, the less acrobatics it has usually.
Traditional styles are also more about applications, while modern stlyles
are more about acroabtics and good looking movements. Sometimes Traditional Styles also care about an internal
aspect or qi flow.
Technical description: Traditional Wushu Handforms
- Well know Traditional (hand) Styles are: Animal Styles, Xing Yi, Taiqi, Ba Gua, Tong Bei, Da Hong Quan etc.
- Traditional Styles are devided into 4 groups. The rares styles are in group 4.
These styles are not seen very often. For example the drunken monkey.
More spreaded styles like Taiji and nanquan are in group one.
I am not even sure if the chinese wushu comittee now took those twos styles into the modern wushu category.
However... There are modern wushu forms and difficult taiji jumps and leg hold like in rhytmic gymnastics now.
Trainer advice: Traditional Wushu Handforms
- Traditional Styles usually include less acrobatics then modern styles, but you shoulnd start with traditional styles when you are young. Everybody can learn traditional mertial arts, but learning the jumps and the difficulties is much more difficult when you are older. So dont spend too much time, trying to learn hundreds of different forms when you are in an athletic age. Take every minute you can for difficulties and work on traditional stuff only when you are too exhausted or injured.
