    you know snowboarding and motorcross where the second most popular choice for people in ancient China. the first most popular was world of warcraft in real life 3d

  • lol, self defense from who? call the police, thats what taxpayers pay them for...

    forget it, let just say you got different mind set

  • it called self defense

    can motorcross or snowboarding do that?

  • its boring, no offence... u all should pick up a sport instead... like snowboarding or motorcross...

  • good point, and i see your logic, but you contradicted yourself a bit. Although i agree with you , you said yourself that tai chi starts out slow and then becomes more dynamic, true, but what if that is the same for this staff form? what if this is just his beginning and over time he will make it more dynamic.?

  • ah i never said i was a master (if i was i would not be on youtube for one :-)) secondly : taichi was a martial art in the beginning (now it has maney subbranches) look at the first kind of taichi : chen style : it mixed soft and slow with hard and fast (in application you have to to be fast) greetz g :-)

  • g888... Speed is not everything in Wushu. Take tai chi for example. If you were really a master in Wushu, you would have known that. Also, a long time ago, wushu was created not with the intention to hurt, but to help. Some forms of Wushu are supposed to relax you. Like tai chi.

  • A wushu staff is typically thicker at one end and tapers towards the other end, whereas a bo staff is either straight, or thicker in the center and tapered towards both ends, hence the more whip-like movements in wushu as you grab the thicker end and whip the thinner end around, doesn't work for a traditional bo staff which is not flexible and straight

  • at very slow speed !

  • It's a form. A wushu form.
