At the beginning of the video 0:05 is that first generation Beijing Wushu Team member Lu Jinming?

@NexusJunisBlue yes. lu jinming is the current men's coach.

hey, is there a male athlete who is really good with straightsword and spear?

@ShaolinKungFuUSA A lot of longtime fans will turn to Wu Di, who I believe is still training. There is also Xu Minghu from around the same time, one of the most explosive, perhaps on par with Yu Te of Zhejiang today. Athletes outside the Beijing Wushu Team include reigning champion Wei Jian from Shanghai, and my personal favorite Zhao Kun from Henan, not to mention Wang Fei from Shandong.

@NexusJunisBlue thanks, i actually know all those athletes that you mentioned. i just want to know who is the one in the beijing team now. i know that shi kun retired. i am not sure if wudi is still there and xu ming hu is now an actor, so i don't think that he's there anymore.

@ShaolinKungFuUSA Look up Luo Hong, one of the newer generation Beijing Wushu Team members. I believe I already have footage of his straightsword form uploaded onto YouTube from the past summer. I've been told that there is at least one other new athlete on the team, though I don't actually know who he is.
