AFTER 10 years, Malaysia will once again host the 10th World Chin Woo Wushu and Cultural Carnival that will see some of the best international exponents competing in Ipoh.
Ipoh Chinese Chin Woo Athletic Association deputy president Datuk Ooi Foh Sing said some 250 participants were expected for the carnival from Nov 22 to Nov 24.
They include 130 exponents from China, Australia (29), Singapore (19), New Zealand (11), Japan (10) and the United States (eight).
Ooi said they were the best from Chin Woo associations all over the world.
“Malaysia too will have 35 exponents in two teams,” he said in Ipoh on Thursday.
Ooi said the carnival would include wushu contests covering unarmed and armed categories, wushu demonstrations, calligraphy and Chinese painting competitions.
He invited the public to the carnival which starts at 7.30pm at Stadium Indera Mulia on Nov 22. The wushu competitions will be held on Nov 23 and Nov 24 at the stadium from 9am on both days.
Calligraphy and art contests (10am on Nov 23) and a night of wushu performances (8pm on Nov 24) will be held at the Ipoh Chinese Chin Woo Athletic Association hall in Jalan Hussein. Entry is free for spectators for all the above events.
I will try to follow this up with a video tutorial, but for now I will give you a few quick tips and pointers on how to do a nice big clean wushu outside crescent kick.
For those of you who arent sure what this move is.. it is when you kick outward in circular motion starting from the opposite side of your body moving away from yourself. The kick forms a crescent shape- thus the name outside crescent kick.
TOP THREE MOVES TO IMPROVE YOUR KICK ARE:
1) Stretch, stretch, and stretch. – You should be able to kick up to your head otherwise this kick will never look good by a wushu outside kick standard.
2) Pull your toe back when you kick up. Your kicking foot should not be dangling or purposeless. It should be going up and pulling back with a clear direction and then moving quickly outward and then downward getting ready to reach the ground.. so in other words you have to have some form of coordination because this happens all separately and simultaneously while you are kicking your leg up and out.
3) Keep your freakin knee straight. Do not try to cheat and bend your knee. No good! Knee locked, back up. Can’t repeat enough (and tired of repeating it).
Alright! So there you have it. 3 top tips to improve your outside kick. More advanced tips on refining your kick once you have mastered these 3 points.
Hey Guys! I want to give you some exclusive tips on getting and landing that butterfly twist. People have always liked the butterfly twist, sometimes referred to as btwist or 360 twist, so I am going to pass on some knowledge so you can begin to attempt this move.
Obviously exercise caution when you attempt any difficult martial arts moves and use safety and judgment over all else!
So let me begin with a YouTube clip you may have seen if you searched “How to Butterfly Twist” or “Butterfly Twist Tutorial” -
I made this quick tutorial at UCLA Wooden Gym a while back and then posted it on youtube. I had no idea that such a quick clip that I shot would reach over 100,000 people. I think because I was rushing to go home (shot this on the way out after a long workout) I made it very short and to the point which people like.
Anyways, here is a SECOND how to butterfly twist that is also on youtube, but it was shot by the folks at Expert Village. ExpertVillage liked my YouTube How To Twist clip so much that they actually wanted me to be an “Expert” at expertvillage.. so in the interest of getting a more complete tutorial I accepted to make the clips.
There’s actually a whole bunch of clips that overlap and are drawn out, but it is because they wanted it to be VERY comprehensive. In any case, today I will post the money clip that I think they shot so you wont have to sift through all these searches to find it.
This clip has the butterfly twist in all different angles and is a bit more comprehensive so I think it will help if you watch this in addition to the other clip.
So now that you have seen both those clips. The additional tip I want to give you is something that I just figured out recently. Sometimes I do it unconsciously and sometimes I don’t but when you tighten your back muscles in the air during the twist it helps for a higher, cleaner, faster, and smoother looking twist. I have a few more tips on how to get extra height without using extra leg strength that I will write up when I have more time. Check back for those updates!
