Here for your viewing pleasure, or displeasure, is the wookie. Vids from my performances at the Battle of Atlanta.
Bai Yuan Tou Tao-White Monkey Steals the Peach
I start around the minute mark. I asked the first dude what he did, he said "Pai Long" which I figured was some kind of generic Chinese Kempo thing---at least that's what it looked like.
I took 2nd place with this form, even though I kept running out of floor space, which slowed the pace of the form down to a slow shuffle at the ends of the lines...LOL. As you can see in my comments on the vid, I took out one of the roundhouses in the third line. I practice the form with the two kicks, but it did look better with one, in my opinion, and this was a forms competition. Bad angle on the vid, I know.....
I thought my hands were pretty crisp for the most part, but I got nervous and ended up rushing through the form.....same with the daggers. I should have posed more for the judges.
The dude who beat me out did a mismash of Eagle Claw, Longfist, and just some generic acrobatics, which he somehow managed to push through the "traditional soft style" division, even though he told me he made it up. Can't hate on him--it was really cool, but he should have been in the "Creative Forms" Division. But he only threw one punch.
One judge and two spectators afterwards told me I should have won as it was. Would have been cool. Never been to a tournament before, and the other guys were seasoned tournament dudes--most modern wushu. Seemed to hold my own pretty well.
Shaolin Suang Pi Sou Ti Ie Lu
I tied for 3rd with this form with a dude who had a pudao form. The guy who won had a double chain whip form, which was just friggin' sweet, and the 2nd place guy had a kickass wushu broadsword form. When I saw the dude walk out with two chain whips, I turned to the broadsword guy and said: "You do realize we just lost this one, don't you?" LOL.....
Despite the fact I practiced with more posing, though I ended up rushing through the form, I did like my pace. Should have jumped higher, though, on my kicks/jumps.
20 X 20 floorspaces for competitions suck for ST forms. Hell, as I'm sure you guys know, sometimes it's hard to practice solo in schools with ample floorspace...LOL.
