    You have so many hours a day to train, if you spend half of it on dance forms, how can you be as good as someone else who spends all his time on the real stuff?
    Real, what, are they just holograms doing wushu...



    Athletisism... pure and simple.

    Aren't there any traditional stylists in the entire US of A that don't do Wushu that are better than these people?
    Well at taolu, probably a couple... but not many.


    Is it so easy to switch muscle memory on and off, doesn't modern Wushu practice effect one's traditional gongfu at all?

    Sure, it makes your stances stronger..lol

    I heard a few members of American Ballet Theater were available, why weren't they recruited?

    We have actually had a number of ballet people come in and train with us. They have typically been the fastest to pick up the choreography of forms and the flavor.

    doesnt surprise me at all. they have to remember dance routines which are usually 3-5 minutes long, so they should pick it up well. i had 5 years dance experience before i went into kung fu, it helped me with forms. i love forms compared to fighting.

    Mr. Gene Ching?!

    Nice pics - and thanks for not publishing a photo of me pikcing my nose or something. You know, it's alright to pick you nose in public in China, especially if you're a waitress.

    the mall

    Given all the places we were and had to be, factor in the size of Zhengzhou, imagine the odds. That was no coincidence. That was Shaolin karma.

    Did you go to the closing ceremony and awards banquet the last night? We had to miss that because of another obligation. Did you get one of those gift bags? What was in those gift bags?

    book?

    What book? Did you go to the closing ceremonies? What else did you get? Pins? Plaques? We know about the medals...

    At our hotel, it was a feeding frenzy. People came back with all kinds of goodies, including the mystery bag. At breakfast the morning after, they were handing out posters and those huge round stickers that were on all of the taxicabs. We got a bunch, but they didn't make it back (lost at the airport, I'm told). There were also these little white gift bags - that's what I'm curious about.
