I guess that

1. if you do not do unnecessary moves or you land all of your moves.

2. if your punch and kick may KO the opponent.

3. if you may throw, as soon as you see the opening.

from the comments in the vid.

then people will know that you have training for your da ti shuai. punch kick and throw.

in short

if you have skill or not, people may know.

If i were to pick between modern wushu and yoga for a life style. i would choose yoga. since neither is exactly a fighting art, yet gives you some conditioning that may help with fighting, yoga seems to be much healthier.

wushu has and does often result in many life long injuries. tendon/ligaments, breaks, dislocations, etc. the acl comes to mind. I know a few wushu cats that have had their acl's messed up from the high dynamic aspect of wushu. they were pretty good too.not all people will result in serious injury, but the chances are far, far greater than yoga.

now if we are just talking martial art, and not modern contemporary wushu, martial arts all the way :D

who needs yoga then?

yoga is a superior practice to wushu.

you can practice yoga all your life.

wushu, not so much.

we are talking about the wushu that is known as contemporary wushu and passed off as martial arts right?

or are we talking about wushu in a broader sense that is inclusive of all chinese martial arts and not just the competitive gymnastics type?

otherwise, either/either is fine I suppose.

I concur.

Madonna has progressed from sex symbol in the early 90s to MILF in the late 90s to scary grandma who still thinks she's 20 in the 2000s.

Milla Jovovich may not be able to bring the real MA (I have heard that coreographers have to frequently deal with her disturbing tendency to bounce off of stunt doubles making her ass-kickery look less than realistic) but at least she isn't... scary.
