why do many people hate contemporary Wushu?
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Let me tell you why….I have lived in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan from 1991-2000 (with short visits to the USA). Contemporry Wushu is NOT Kung Fu. These froms were made in the 1950’s&1960’s. They do not exist in Hong Kong or Taiwan unless an outsider breings them in. It is flashy, useless, running, jumping, body slapping nonsense….Real Kung Fu teachers from Hong Kong and Taiwan (Republic of China) consider it trash. Many wushu people are talented and desrve respect but I hope they will reurn to real Kung Fu, if a form has fast running steps, then it is wushu, don’t practice that junk. I am a teacher of Praying Mantis the old forms not wushu, i know some wushu and don’t like it. Traditional kung fu helps in a real fight better than runny, slappy wushu…the only awesome “wushu” style is sanshou which was around before contemporary wushu….I hope more martial artists will embrace the real true forms…
