I like how Mark Salzman gives them so much time to answer. It's like quick question, (showing off his chinese), they utter two words, he cuts them off, then translates. Diminishes the great coaches to smiling Chinese guys. Anyway, the wushu is great at least.
Just so you understand how this press conference was set up. Mark Salzman and the Wu Shu coaches had prepared for the English speaking press. The coaches were uncomfortable since they didn't speak a single word of English and we had to share their limited time with a large number of local Chinese speaking press. There might have been just one other English language TV crew there.
Thanks for the footage; great to see this rare footage of enclosed space Wu Shu, and a very young Mark Salzman interpreting. I have read many of his books, including both memoirs, so seeing him is fascinating. I know he's been a teacher and he's quite self-possessed. Has been an accomplished music too. Renaissance man. Thanks again.
Salzman's film, Iron & Silk, was terrific. I taught English overseas (Saudi Arabia), and can appreciate the cultural transfer you experience. Salzman is also a great martial artist in that, unlike so many action heroes, he is unassuming, humble, and charming. He doesn't let his martial skill overpower his own character as a human being. Terrific guy!

The wushu changquan form looked like he either cut it short or made it for such a closed space... hrmmm.
I loved the chin na set! I've never seen chin na in a sparring set like that before haha!

That was a small space for Wu Shu even if the place wasn't packed with reporters.

I agree all the way.
I'm going to be competing in Berkeley's CMAT (Chinese Martial Arts Competition).
Will you be covering it at all?

Sorry, we are out of the martial art news business. Good luck with your competition.

@MartialArchiveTv truly a shame, someone should petition to bring your program back or one like it. *bows*
