Zhao Qing Jian Dao 9th World Wushu Championships - 9.85

[iDropkickedyourpuppy]

i just wen tto his seminar in cali O_O ahhaha it was great,

[exbladex99]

But I wonder how he would match up against a real medieval or ancient warrior that actually has been to numerous real sword battles.

[wushupants]

@exbladex99

Pff, he'd probably butterfly-twist over his head and stab him in the back of the neck. With all that agility, flexibility, and speed acquired through Wushu, why waste time trying to fight a fully armored tank of a warrior head on? If such a battle was ever set up, the wise thing to do would be use the advantages of Wushu to their full extent.

Zhao qing jian's basics are good but his routines doesnot instill the kind of thrill Yuan Xiao Chao or Yuan Wen Qing's routine have. All this hype about him....i wonder would he get if he was not in the Beijing team?

[CMAT17]

@gmamitkumar

you probably haven't seen his performances firsthand. He visited the studio I go to and he had a slightly different and longer broadsword form. It was epic!

[amitmayanglambam]

@CMAT17 I am of the old school. I grew up watching Zhao Chang Jun and Yuan Wen Qing. Their routines have a certain form of rhythm and flow building up to an explosive movement. Among todays players you find such with Yuan Xiao Chao. Zhao Qing Jian movements though are basically sound and clear, they are kind of heavy and there are to many breaks to include the jumps thereby killing the rhythm and flow. Check the 10th China games videos.

[CMAT17]

@amitmayanglambam Your right, nandu sort of does kill the forms rhythm

[amitmayanglambam]

@p4v1l0ndrumm3r Right, though the routine were simpler, the best I have seen is Yuan Wen Qing at the 1990 International Wushu Championships at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[clock02]

That was awesome, incredible speed.

[akarc24]

point deduction at 1:00

[windlightx]

there isn't any-.-

[Wushu360]

hes like 30 some years old 2

[aisukurimusandoichi]

don't get me wrong, I worship Zhao Qing Jian, but my opinion is now he's so hyped up (for good reason I'll admit) all he has to do is walk on the carpet and he gets the gold. That was awesome but 9.85...? No way.

[m0kut0u]

Hmm, but I disagree IMHO. He basically pwned the other athletes in terms of speed, power, 身形， 跳跃， and that btwist 720 (which in all of WWC history, has never been done before on the carpet) -- even though difficulty movements are not the essence of a 套路。 Still, I think he deserved that 9.85. Haha but I do agree that it's entirely possible for the judges to have a preconceived perspective though. Just a few thoughts about this. =)

[hellowjp]

One of the cheering crowd actually said "NIU BI"... = =;;

[ChenJiaXian]

what does niu bi mean? just curious

[Adamo0]

niu bi is slang for awesome.

I really dont see what the problem is...

[xibanyae]

no problem at all.... it only means "Cow's Vagina" that's all ;)

(actually adamo0 is right, it's a slang kids word, not to be taken literally, but in certain environments it should not be used i guess)

[wushuseb]

hohoho...

merry christmas to everybody!!!

[wushuseb]

他妈的!

zhao qingjian is something like my big brother, he's the best active wushu athlete... who of you can say that he spent his birthday with him!? first get to know him, then you can rate my comment negatively...

(nevertheless he looket a little tired)

[shinobikage11]

"you win" LOL...

[gotz2bk]

the absolute god of wushu. the very ground he walks on trembles in submission to his presence lol

[wushuseb]

ZQJ is getting old...

only have to look at his hand and u know how real modern wushu should look like.

one more year, 哥哥 (i cant write much more in chinese - lol ;-D

武汉体院!

[ChineseParadox]

Just imagine the look on the other competitors' faces when they realized they were going up against Zhao Qing Jian himself.

[ChineseParadox]

I'm not exactly sure why two of these came up. Uh... just delete one of them.

[Wuhan]

"he wins"

lol.

[ChenJiaXian]

it was over before it even started. lol

[chyn3z3t1g3r09]

i agree lol

[ShaoBo]

i don't agree

he decided to take his xuan zi zhuan ti 720 in, if he made mistake there, the 2nd could have had a chance :D

[ChenJiaXian]

haha, it was kind of a joke. i have seen him botch his 720 before. it was in 2004 i think.

[chyn3z3t1g3r09]

the 720 was kinda scary tho lol

if he messed up...

[loeaglelo]

yeaa....if he did mess up it would've been a bad day. Buuut he didn't. Awesome wushu.

[xcelr8]

Woohoo ZQJ =D

Its awesome how everyone in the stadium cheered for him.

Jiayo ZQJ!
