These are merely kids in action. Their adult masters are in a different category altogether. Not saying the kids are bad or anything. They are enjoyable to watch. Probably the best acrobatic martial arts video I have ever seen. Thumbs up.
I've trained wushu but stopped for a while and when I saw that video reminds me of the importance of having trained, and because of this video I came back to practice, thanks dude.
Wushu is wonderful, to say it's impossible is a terrible thing to say, once your passion is there it doesn't die, only if you let it, Your still young and your driven believe and just never give in to doubt...
WuShu is NOT just a sport. It is even not just a martial art. It's a way of living. For instance training or doing stuff which is hard to do for you more and more until you are able to do it and become skillful. But this you can do in all parts of your life; Learning, Cooking or Music(Thats also called Gongfu). WuShu also starts with learning manners, learning to understand WuShu, respect your teacher, your training, your mates and to understand yourself. It is a complete System.
I study southern kung fu but I must say this is quite impressive / entertaining to watch. Thumbs up for the performers, and the video creator. Well done.
People learn martial arts for two different reasons: for sport and for self-defense. I personally learn street-oriented martial arts, but I do understand and appreciate that many practice these styles for recreational purposes. Plus, in modern society, many people forget that the famous martial artists are usually in their 40's and 50's for a reason. It takes time to learn martial arts, you don't just get good by attending a few classes a week, it takes years of hard work and training.
This is a visually beautiful sport. Wish they would add this to the Olympics. I am here because I am a fan of EXO-M Tao, who is Chinese and and who in middle school won a national championship in this sport. His "teaser" videos is the first time I ever saw wushu. I am now a new fan of the sport/art form after watching this video.
Wushu is more for aesthetic purpose, just fluid movements and forms. Wing Chun can be applied to real self defense, and will work on your blocking and close quarter fighting. Wushu would be good for flexibility and acrobatic moves. Take your pick.
I used to do wushu at a old wushu school in my area. But shortly after I joined it discontined there wushu classes. And now I'm a college student who is in a current searhc for a job. So even if I did find another wushu school I dont have the time or money to start again. In the short time I studied wushu I felt that my dreams of become this awesome gravity defying martial artist would come true, but now its gone. Whenever I watch video like this, it makes me very sad.....
Chinese Kongfu is a combat role, that's why ancient Chinese army so powerful, it decline in the industrial revolution in the west. Now only be retained as an art.
agree, don't be restricted by doctrines and thousands of years of accepted development. be open minded. However it is good to keep tradition. it is not always about being invincible rather keeping the art.
Nice photography with track sound i must say its wonderful, despite other language but i herd it many times, hy must upload more i wish to click you again and again, keep it up my warm support is with you, press Like and waiting for another like this. Thanks
these guys are unbelievable i mean 1.there are very young 2.there body control is perfekt i respect them P.S. i really don`t like rock musik but this song in this video is very good :)
@AFroHenne Yeah, I wish there were Wu shu teachers near where I lived. These kids are just doing show off, Wu shu gets really tight around the battle field. I guess not many people study it seriously anymore. But yes, your instincts are the most important thing to train when learning martial arts.
All the asian kids at my school talk about their wushu classes. LOL. It's hilarious cause they bring it up at the most random times and make it funny :]
The practice of martial arts is a peaceful practice. It's for self discipline and personal goals. The objective of learning and acquiring these skills is not to pick or start fights. The end goal is to learn, appreciate the art, and ultimately make yourself a better person.
Im a bit to old and simply too large a build to ever consider Wushu. (35 yrs old, 6'10 and 250lbs) However, it works well to my advantage in Brazillion Jui Jitsu and Muy Thai which Ive been taking fo the last year. Its a beautifull martial art. I wish I could master something like that.
@zigzigerblat Thanks mate :) haha yeah I actually do train in Wushu, amongst a few other styles in my life so I guess I have a general understanding. And you are correct, Kung Fu means Earned skill and Wushu means the art of combat.
wushu are two words in chinese. Wu means "performing", Shu means "physical artform". So basically, it's a performance, incorporating cool stuff from many schools of kung fu into something that looks impressive. It's like taking running, jumping, and bouncing a ball: all three things are different and can be a sport in their own right, but when combined, you have basketball.
Apparently, Wikipedia is lying, because it says that Wushu "was developed in China after 1949, in an effort to standardize the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts".
@AssassinGhost I practice wushu, and brazillian jujitsu. I have a huge advantage over everyone else because of my cardio and flexibility. Wushu might not be practical as self defense, but it definitely conditions you to have a HUGE edge over everyone else.
I don't really know a lot about wushu, but it looks sweet. Do a lot of wushu people end up being fight choreographers for movies? Seems like they'd be good at it.
@Matamune87 you're kind of right, however, it is still martial arts but it is in the demonstration form, its very common in china, it may not teach self defense of course but most of the techniques have a strong root from several martial arts, because the movements are a little similar, think of it as "martial arts dancing" lol.
@georgepurezajr Your right Sanda is applicable for street fights. However, when you become older, it loses its effectiveness. Traditional chinese martial arts taught properly could better the chances of winning in a fight.
Fantastic! Amazing athletes... I did copious amounts of wushu - I used to get the critique "It doesn't work, it's just for show..." etc. If applied correctly wushu is as efficient as any other martial art. I have fought muay thai fighters, bjj-fighters (chinas work miracles on the floor) etc. and won. Wushu is as impressive as it looks!
Just like wushu, wrestling takes endurance, strength, skill, and years of training. Dont underestimate wrestling, its just putting yourself on the same level as people who underestimate wushu.
These things would only be helpful in combat situations if they were fighting with a style as well... but its not often your going to get into a random street wushu vs. other martial arts battle...
To become a wushu you need to be fast, flexible, strong, determined and a risk taker because the weapons they use are real and I bet at one point they've hurt themselves with it before.
@N1ck3lam its never to late to learn kung fu, i have a 70 year old man doing it in my school and his taichi is amazing, ofcourse in Wushu theres more than 300 styles of chinese martial arts, you should be good with atleast one of those.
@calwudude Sanshou or Sanda is a part of Wushu but is not the same. Wushu concentrates on performance, while Sanda is a hybrid type of fighting style devoloped in the hopes of formulating all different types of Kung Fu/ Traditional Wushu into one set of rules. Wushu in Mandarin means Martial Arts, but today it is something different. If one wants to talk about applicable Wushu for self defense, it would be called "Traditional Wushu".
@iHornyTroll You just didn't know what it was when you first got into it. Wushu are two words in chinese. Wu means "performing", Shu means "physical artform". So basically, it's a performance, incorporating cool stuff from many schools of kung fu into something that looks impressive. It's like taking running, jumping, and bouncing a ball: all three things are different and can be a sport in their own right, but when combined, you have basketball.
Finally, next year I'll be able to change to the chinese martial arts, as soon as my friend obtained his black belt! So, I got 1 year to learn a bit more about japanese martial arts and then....YEAH!
Refer to the movie "Fearless" starring Jet Li for some somewhat realistic Wushu fighting...I really wish I would have picked up on Wushu at a young age..well I wish I COULD pick up on it now. No schools in my area..but I'm somewhat happy with Krav Maga.
Just a note to every commenter here: It's not a fight! It doesn't mean to be a fight. The one here is a show, if you're looking for a real wushu fighting skill go somewhere else. This is the "art" part of wushu.
I have long been extremely interested in martial arts. Taking classes have not been an option for me in the past, but now with my own car and a paying job i can finally learn. First off, does anyone have suggestions of which arts i should look into? WuShu has always interested me, but would it be a thing that i would be able to pick up as a 16 year old without much current acrobatic ability? Just had a few questions and was hoping some of you would have some insight. Thanks
you guys gotta know that fighting and martial arts parted way a long time back. martial arts now includes not only combative purposes but movement, culture, philosophy, science etc. if you're only thinking along the narrow minded lines of using this for fighting, then you need to understand more.
@hanvo216 Just like Capoeira, Wushu was a way of practicing the real applications of martial arts through aerial acrobatics and gymnastics when it was outlawed by the government. In Capoeira, the slaves weren't allowed to practice combat arts for fear or revolting so they created a performance art or dance out of it. There are real practical applications to fighting in both arts but it's mainly for sport. Don't underestimate someone just because they don't practice mainstream glorified MMA.
also theres two kinds of wushu of what ive seen, there is competetive which is what you see in this video, and theirs traditional this are martial arts that the chinese that came to US to escape the cultural revolution, traditional wushu wont have acrobatics on their forms, but both work well if your look beyond of what you see
if anyone say it is a movie type of fighting should give it a try. These young people spend their whole life practising, the discipline is beyond your imagination, hope you did not spot any wires, haha!...you just jealous!!!!! They are amazing really. Very proud of them.
@calwudude im not sure about aikido or baqua, but taiji does have sparring. The Tai Chi that most people are familiar with are for health and longevity. However, Taichiquan I have heard was made for self defense (Chen Style I believe). I am unsure about Aikido having sparring, but its origin consists of disarming someone with a sword. The point being, martial arts were created as self defense at one point.
Take a look at their athleticism and flexibility and quickness. You think you can even touch them? Even without the wushu training, they 'd kick your ass. This is stylized Kung Fu for sure, but it is not fictionalized athleticism and skill. As I said, it won't be like in the movies, but they'll have no problem kicking your ass.
@calwudude ah, but push hands is a type of sparring. It may not be an all out sparring match, but it is a type of applicable practice that can be used in an actual fight if done properly
Normal people would say " oh it suck ! " but people like us who came here to see this vid' came because they respect all kind of martial art. People, respect All Martial Arts, even if you don't practice them. Black Belt of Karate Do Shotokan
This is freakin awesome, and for people who think that Wushu can't be used in fight; Wushu is NOT a fighting style ! Its a performance art , but if you wanna fight with Kungfu, then train Kung Fu Toa, Iran kungfu. As you know, there is difference Kung fu styles, and wushu is not for fighting but performance. Im training too and that doesn't mean i can fight
Awesome I love this video. I took wushu for about 8 years and I think I'm pretty good but not that good. Its very acrobatic and very good for conditioning, but if your looking for a practical martial arts I would consider mma, or if you want something closer to this stuff you should take sang da. They don't teach you how to fight in wushu, they teach you how to perform. But that doesn't mean you can't use any of it in a fight.
@calwudude I apologize if I did not make my statement clear. Seeing you knew alot about Wushu I thought you might have known, but apparently not. Wushu does condition the body, but in what way? Flexibility, timing, reflexes, yes, but not in blocking (hardening the limbs so that it would be effective), how can you fight if you can't even block?
0:40 to 0:45, and 0:56 to 1:00, these are the same. These two are amazing, does anyone know where this took place? Or their names? I'd like to see more of their work, fully. Thanks!
Actually every martial art was at least based in the idea that someone needed to hurt someone else... The appreciation of the art was added later by Shaolin and the ideas of Yin Yang, which all makes sense. But lets be honest, the reason Shaolin Buddhist monks who's lives are about peace and love first learned martial arts because they found that they needed to HURT other people. A temple full of gold and treasure in the middle of nowhere run by a bunch of pacifists sounds like an easy target...
While I don't agree with wrestling being removed from the 'lympics since its been included in all but 1 in modern times, I would still rather watch these guys do their thing.
Swag is the latest trend strictly based on graphic t-shirts, high top sneakers, and practically anything with the designer’s emblem in plain view. Swag is a lifestyle choice that is lived, breathed, and often - smoked.
@dyeun1 Every one of those hits has the power to break bone and the speed to connect cleanly. If you fight against someone so skilled, the basic punch is more than enough to take you out when performed at that level.
If we wouldn't have guns and all, then in a war you would be shitting your pants and your buddy's pants all at once when you see that rage of attacks coming into you.
Such a beautiful style. Can't wait to learn this.
Not as good without story of the year....
Mark Banks
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME, THIS VIDEO WAS MY CHILDHOOD. BRING THE SONG BACK!!!! D:

Tomas Kapr to all dudes not getting it.. it is in fact a joke.
No Japanese can do this.
In history, Frist ninjas are Chinese (lived in ancient Japan) come from ancient China.
i love how wushu is more of an entertainement rather than a fight. thats what makes it so fun to watch
Benjamin Tran's dream
I've trained wushu but stopped for a while and when I saw that video reminds me of the importance of having trained, and because of this video I came back to practice, thanks dude.
Wushu is wonderful, to say it's impossible is a terrible thing to say, once your passion is there it doesn't die, only if you let it, Your still young and your driven believe and just never give in to doubt...
Saw this 3 years ago and it still gives me goosebumps
what a coincidence. loved this song since i was little. loved wushu even before that.

Still watching this in 2013. Still an amazing video.
Until the Day I Die.... I will be a disciple of the world's ultimate art.... Wushu.
these guys are unbelievable i mean 1.there are very young 2.there body control is perfekt i respect them
P.S. i really don`t like rock musik but this song in this video is very good :)
I never thought I'd say that "Until the Day I Die" doesn't actually live up to the awesomeness that is the video.
Such a knowledge of the body and weapon represented, very well done.
@AFroHenne Yeah, I wish there were Wu shu teachers near where I lived.

and this is why asians own everyone when it comes to martial arts. pretty effing awesome stuff.
@zigzigerblat Thanks mate :) haha yeah I actually do train in Wushu, amongst a few other styles in my life so I guess I have a general understanding. And you are correct, Kung Fu means Earned skill and Wushu means the art of combat.
Kung fu is a life style, wushu is the art.We are warriors , fighters for the life!
wushu are two words in chinese. Wu means "performing", Shu means "physical artform". So basically, it's a performance, incorporating cool stuff from many schools of kung fu into something that looks impressive. It's like taking running, jumping, and bouncing a ball: all three things are different and can be a sport in their own right, but when combined, you have basketball.
@ThePointfighter I've seen a few american competitions and I totally agree. This is amazing!
@falconblackt
i think the music suits it rather well. which song would you have used?
Apparently, Wikipedia is lying, because it says that Wushu "was developed in China after 1949, in an effort to standardize the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts".
@AssassinGhost I practice wushu, and brazillian jujitsu. I have a huge advantage over everyone else because of my cardio and flexibility. Wushu might not be practical as self defense, but it definitely conditions you to have a HUGE edge over everyone else.
Incredible how graceful the human body can be.
These guys are the ones that can come out on top when bringing a knife to a gun fight
I don't really know a lot about wushu, but it looks sweet. Do a lot of wushu people end up being fight choreographers for movies? Seems like they'd be good at it.
Video good, music sux, amaaazing techniques ! thumb upfor u.
The art of War :)
I love oriental arts'
.....Woooww that was an overload of awesomeness, and why have I only found out about Wushu now? Awesome video. 5/5
omg those last two dudes blew me away, thats so intense how he was dodging spear!!!!
there's a kickboxing-esque part of wushu called sanda, the choreographed stuff is called taolu
@Matamune87 you're kind of right, however, it is still martial arts but it is in the demonstration form, its very common in china, it may not teach self defense of course but most of the techniques have a strong root from several martial arts, because the movements are a little similar, think of it as "martial arts dancing" lol.

Wushu is as impressive as it looks!
1:57 tumble was badass. I wanna combine this with parkour/freerunning.
as soon as i started watching this video, 'Eye of the Tiger' came on the radio. went pretty well with the video haha
Just like wushu, wrestling takes endurance, strength, skill, and years of training. Dont underestimate wrestling, its just putting yourself on the same level as people who underestimate wushu.
These things would only be helpful in combat situations if they were fighting with a style as well... but its not often your going to get into a random street wushu vs. other martial arts battle...

thats the best wushu music video ive ever see
Wrestling is the most intense training in the world, physically. There's a reason why navy seal recruit wrestlers, nuff said.
I played this with MGMT- electric feel playing during and it matched really well.
I have long been extremely interested in martial arts. Taking classes have not been an option for me in the past, but now with my own car and a paying job i can finally learn. First off, does anyone have suggestions of which arts i should look into? WuShu has always interested me, but would it be a thing that i would be able to pick up as a 16 year old without much current acrobatic ability? Just had a few questions and was hoping some of you would have some insight. Thanks
this art is absolutely beautiful... 0.0
you guys gotta know that fighting and martial arts parted way a long time back. martial arts now includes not only combative purposes but movement, culture, philosophy, science etc. if you're only thinking along the narrow minded lines of using this for fighting, then you need to understand more.

out of all the song choices.. a rock emo tune -.-
if anyone say it is a movie type of fighting should give it a try. These young people spend their whole life practising, the discipline is beyond your imagination, hope you did not spot any wires, haha!...you just jealous!!!!! They are amazing really. Very proud of them.
woah that guy in yellow/gold was totally awesome!
that spear fighting part in the end was BADASS
It's like rythmic gymnastics with a sword... really tough
@calwudude im not sure about aikido or baqua, but taiji does have sparring. The Tai Chi that most people are familiar with are for health and longevity.

That last fight...AMAZING!!
Beautiful art. Was interested in this, but started Taekwondo instead ^^
@calwudude ah, but push hands is a type of sparring. It may not be an all out sparring match, but it is a type of applicable practice that can be used in an actual fight if done properly
just turned 22 and about to start wushu
its never to old to learn new things kspotes :)
This is why Jet Li is so cool @ martial arts! Wushu!
You can do a high kick at fifty. Even with the hip poping, that's pretty awesome and I'd like to have as much resilience as you when I reach fifty.
:)
Normal people would say " oh it suck ! " but people like us who came here to see this vid' came because they respect all kind of martial art. People, respect All Martial Arts, even if you don't practice them.
