choggie says...

he says about 3 mins in "The first thing I thought of when I heard about 9/11, is that the Bush admin. will use this event, like the Nazi's used the Reichstag fire.....

uhhhhh, the Nazi's burned that down themselves, we later find out, innit???

Sherlocks' everywhere, at least unite on the possibility of foul play, Jesus Christ, we all know the USA is full of gullible prawns anyhow.....

Business as ususal for the USA, means that in 2 more generations, the population will have been effectively rendered incapable, of discerning fact from fiction....just look at how many folks still believe in lone gunmen???

Extremely Fast Choreographed Wushu Fight

Ghostly....uhhhhh....wow. Wow.

No personal offense to you, but you've never trained wushu, san da, or san shou, have you? Because uhhh....Wikipedia isn't the source of all knowledge, contrary to popular belief.

To be TRULY pedantic, your interpretation of the word (via Wikipedia) is completely wrong. Although "wu shu" may translate figuratively as "martial arts" (it more accurately translates as "martial skill", similiar in many aspects to the comparison of "do" versus "jutsu" in Japanese martial arts), it is not generally used in the martial arts world as a blanket term for martial arts or even Chinese martial arts (CMA). This is similiar to Tae Kwon Do, which means "the art of kicking and punching", but which trains most practitioners much more on kicking techniques than punching techniques. The "meaning" of a word isn't always the definition of the thing it represents, dontcha know.

Wushu nowadays is generally used in China and in CMA communities around the world to describe this gymnastic/acrobatic activity, while the blanket term used for CMA is "kung fu" or "gong fu" if you really want to be anal about it. Also, san shou/san da is a style in and of itself (originally the ruleset under which the style developed), not a subset of wushu. In fact, if you look into the history of CMA and its transformation over the years, wushu developed into what you see in this video due to influences by the Beijing/Peking Opera House, which mimicked or incorporated CMA movements into choreographed theater fight scenes, rather than any Western influence. As a result of the change of wushu, along with the rising popularity of kung fu flicks in the U.S, "kung fu" was slowly adopted as the new blanket term for CMA.

Wushu practitioners nowadays practice forms and choreographed sequences like this one, while san shou/san da practitioners generally practice by sparring. There is very, very little overlap between the two.

The misconception of what wushu and kung fu are, I think, is largely due to the fact that people like to share their own beliefs on topics that they actually have little to no experience in.

But what do I know? Good, bad? I'm the guy with the 4 oz. gloves.
