Change comes slowly for the age-old Chinese martial art of wushu. But this year, it’s joining forces with the swoosh.
In an unlikely move for a U.S. footwear company, Nike is joining the small Chinese market of wushu shoemakers. The modern version of the sport, a close cousin of kung fu, emphasizes aesthetic and athletic performance over basic fighting. While it isn’t an official Olympic sport, an Olympic-sanctioned tournament will take place this summer.
That was enough for Nike to jump in. The shoes would have to survive a host of punishing moves: rapid accelerations and braking; 720-degree gymnastic-like spins; and the use of weapons including broadswords, staffs and double-edged swords.
In a Beijing park, a four-person Nike team sought out septuagenarian Master Wu Bin, who was teaching hundreds of students, for his help. He agreed, and work eventually shifted to Nike’s Beaverton, Ore., campus, where researchers slapped scores of reflective markers onto U.S. wushu athletes and their weapons while 16 high-speed video cameras recorded data. “Reflective markers were flying,” said Jeff Pisciotta, who studies athlete biomechanics in the Nike lab. Researchers from the University of Beijing and the University of Shanghai eventually pitched in.
The final shoe, to be sold for $80 at Nike.com, uses sturdy kangaroo leather instead of the typical canvas and a lightweight gum rubber for more-precise pivoting during moves. An unexpected problem: painful shoelaces, because wushu athletes traditionally hit their shoes with their palms as part of their performance. Nike created pockets to hide shoelace tips for easier slapping.

Nike Shaolinquan (Mandarin for “Martial Arts”)
Wushu
Wushu is an exhibition and full contact sport with roots in traditional Chinese martial arts and a 3,000 year history. In Chinese, “Wu” means military while “Shu” means art.
Nike respects the past and represents the future with its new innovative spin on footwear for Wushu. Nike gained important insight from several world-class athletes and coaches. The result is the very light and supportive Shaolinquan, Mandarin for Martial Arts. It has been embraced by top athletes in the world, as well as by fashion icons, for its traditional yet innovative styling. It is premium crafted footwear, designed to blend functional excellence with simple, stylistic beauty. Weighing a mere 4.75 oz, the Shaolinquan shoe is constructed from a rich, premium kangaroo leather and includes a modified herringbone pattern, which optimizes traction between the athletes’ feet and Wushu mats. A soft, flexible, lightweight gum rubber outsole was created to allow for better pivoting on the forefoot. The shoes have a pocket on them to tuck laces into and extra short aglets for safety.
On one side of the shoe is the character “Wu,” which means military in Chinese. On the back of the shoe is lettering that, when translated, says “Hero inside. Release it.”
Key Features
• Weighs 4.75 oz
• Constructed from kangaroo leather and a modified Herringbone pattern
• Gum rubber outsole allows for better pivoting
• Back of the shoe is inscribed with Chinese letters that read: “Hero inside. Release it.”
Pant and Jacket
Like taekwondo, wushu has centuries of tradition and strict uniform requirements, important considerations when it came to updating the classic silhouette. When Nike designers started talking to the wushu team, the athletes were hesitant to change. However, when the designers brought the team samples of a new uniform that was more breathable but preserved the traditional look and feel of silk, the athletes were thrilled. Designers worked to find a material that had both the look and feel of silk, but that was a Dri-FIT fabric to help sweat evaporate. Stretch paneling in the pant makes it easier to move, and mesh venting in the jacket sides helps keep athletes cool. The jacket’s traditional mandarin collar and cuffs have a mesh facing to draw moisture away from the skin surface. The wushu uniform has all the characteristics and tradition of the original but with Nike’s unique performance technology enhancements.

In a summer when all eyes were on China for the 2008 summer Olympics, 13-year-old Danielle Snell was practicing a sport based on traditional Chinese martial arts.
The Churchill Junior High School eighth-grader has been practicing wushu since she was 9 years old and has traveled to China for summer training three times. She trains with Wulin World of Martial Arts in Bartonville and competes several times a year.
“I saw a performance at a tournament and I wanted to get into that,” she said of Wushu. “The forms that I’ve learned with them are really neat. Wushu is smoother at some points (than other martial arts), but it can get stronger.”
She received the 2007 Wushu Student of the Year Award from the Illinois Combat Karate Organization and is a junior black belt in tae kwon do.
During the summer, Danielle trains about two hours weekly in wushu. Once school starts, she commutes to and from Bartonville twice weekly to train for two hours on Friday evenings and between six and eight hours on Saturdays.
When there’s a tournament on the horizon, it’s three-hour practices five days per week.
“Usually, if I know I have practice that night, I try to get most of it (her homework) done in study hall,” Danielle said of balancing her demanding schedule and keeping up her grades. She also totes schoolwork along with her in the car and, if she doesn’t finish everything, she’ll stay up late to get it done.
But martial arts isn’t the only thing on her plate. Danielle also participates in the Churchill choir, takes tumbling and is a member of the Hispanic-Latino Resource Group.
She also participates in the 30-minute children’s segment of “La Hora Latina,” a weekly two-hour bilingual radio program broadcast on WVKC 90.7 FM.
Danielle became involved with the program after being interviewed on “La Hora Latina” for a martial arts tournament. Her mother, Erin, who hails from Mexico, also volunteered with the program and would take Danielle with her.
“Most of it’s in Spanish, but there’s little things in English that I read,” Danielle said of the program. “I enjoy doing it.”
Her Hispanic heritage is important to Danielle. In addition to the radio program, she also is a member of Mexico Lindo, a Mexican folk dancing troupe. The dancers perform at schools and events throughout the year.
“Some of the little girls who are 4 years old won’t go out there (on stage) if Danielle’s not with them,” her father, William, said. “They look up to her.”
Regular trips to Mexico also help Danielle keep in touch with her Hispanic heritage, as the majority of her mother’s relatives live there. She says she enjoys visiting her relatives so “I don’t lose touch with the Mexican part of me.”
Danielle was recently recognized by the Galesburg City Council for all of her hard work. She received the Youth Extra Effort Award from Mayor Gary Smith at the Aug. 18 City Council meeting.
Rhonda Brady, director of the Knox County Area Project, nominated her for the award.
“I didn’t expect it at all,” Danielle said of the award. She thinks Brady nominated her “because I was helping out on the radio, giving my time on the radio when I could be hanging out or watching TV. I felt really honored.”

MANILA, Philippines—Upon seeing the tiny athlete with a gold medal around his neck, passengers on the immigration queue broke into applause. Tourists posed with him for photos and a passenger pointed a kid to the medalist passing by.
In a country deprived of Olympic joy when athletes from the regular sports failed in their courageous bid to land a medal, 24-year-old Willy Wang arrived Monday giving people who saw him at the airport reason to celebrate.
“I am happy because we got a gold in the Olympics,” said Wang, who prepared just as hard—and as long—as the athletes who were counted on to deliver the country’s first Olympic gold medal.
Wang, who prepared for the event for eight months, won the gold in wushu, a demonstration event whose results do not count on the official medal standings.
“Even if it’s a special event, I am happy that we won a gold,” said the Filipino-Chinese world champion in heavily accented Filipino.
Wang, who started training in the martial art when he was 12, snagged the gold in the demonstration event held on the side of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where most of the country’s overmatched delegation failed to make it even past the preliminary stages of their events.
Wang’s victory marked the only time the Philippine national anthem was played in Olympic City.
Wang shared that other Filipino athletes in Beijing were happy about his win despite missing their own medal goals in the quadrennial.
“Their training was really hard, they did all the preparation and they did not get any medals, but at least I got one for the country. My friends [from other events] are happy about it,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer while waiting at the baggage carousel at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2.
He believes wushu has a strong chance to become an Olympic event soon, but not within the slowly expiring shelf life of his career.
“By the next Olympics, I might already have retired, because that’s still a long time away, four years,” Wang said. “Maybe [I’m retiring] next year, because I’m old [for the sport], I’m already 24.
“I’d like to do business instead, maybe [with] computers,” he said with a grin.
Wang arrived on a Philippine Airlines flight around 5:40 p.m. Monday along with officials of the Philippine delegation, among them Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose “Peping” Cojuangco and the team’s chief of mission, Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella.
Said Cojuangco of Wang’s sport: “I think it has a good prospect because the Chinese are really working hard to get it in, there’s a big effort to get it in.”
Asked about the Philippine team’s performance, he said: “They performed as best as they can. They broke their own Philippine records. They did the way we expected them to do, only the competition was really tough.”
THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM – 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD REVIEWEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JACKIE CHAN.

Interview and review by Emilio Alpanseque
Courtesy of LIONSGATE
In theaters, the Forbidden Kingdom was a funhouse of a movie with non-stop action and lots of special effects. The teaming up of Jackie Chan and Jet Li had everyone in the martial arts community full of eagerness. The addition of Yuen Woo-Ping as the fight coordinator raised the expectations bar even more. And the result lives up to the promise of what you would anticipate from these exceptional martial artists.
This September, LIONSGATE releases The Forbidden Kingdom 2-Disc Special Edition on DVD and Blu-ray in North America, and along with the film come a good number of thrilling bonus features including multiple behind-the-scenes, a blooper reel, deleted scenes, audio commentary and more. A Digital Copy of the feature film is also included on a separate disk. This comes handy for those that want to bring the movie with them on a hard drive, or play it on their Ipod.
If you end up buying this DVD, you’ll be pleased with the quality of the transfers as they are all top notch. The 2.40:1 widescreen format is superb with vibrant colors and sparkling details. The definition is so good that you can zoom several times and still get a clear image. With the audio, two options are at your disposal: English 5.1 Dolby Digital EX and English 2.0 Dolby Digital. Both are crystal clear without any distortion. The box says the movie runs for 104 minutes; however you have my word that the full 113 minutes of the theatrical release are in it, divided in 24 chapters which will allow easy navigation to your favorite scenes.
The DVD & Blu-ray special features include:
Audio commentary with director Rob Minkoff and writer John Fusco. This offers a lot of interesting information about the movie. At times serious and others time humorous, Minkoff seems more technical while Fusco reveals his love and respect for martial arts.
“The Kung Fu Dream Team”. A remarkable view at the team that makes this movie what it is, including interviews and a behind-the-scenes look at some of the action and stunts in the film.
“Dangerous Beauty”. Interviews and behind-the-scenes introducing Liu Yifei and Li Binbing.
“Discovering China”. A revealing exploration of spectacular the natural locations used for the film.
“Filming in Chinawood”. A look at the Hengdian World Studios, the largest film studio in Asia located in the Zhejiang Province. Both, Modern Boston and Ancient China scenes where filmed there.
“Monkey King and The Eight Immortals”. John Fusco’s own journey into world of Chinese culture and Kung Fu philosophy. There is a break down of one of the synopsis of the film. An introduction to the Monkey King, the Eight Immortals, Drunken Kung Fu and more.
Pre-Visualization Featurette. This takes the viewer from the storyboards through pre-production animation footage to the final finished look for selected scenes throughout the film, accompanied by commentary from Rob Minkoff.
Blooper reel. A few accidents, missed dialogue and a lot fun.
Deleted scenes with audio commentary by Rob Minkoff and John Fusco. Six scenes that did not make the final reel, but maybe should have?
In summary, the long awaited “J&J Project”, which became a reality and was a box-office smash, is now available on this bursting 2-Disc Special Edition. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Jackie and Jet perform together in the comfort of your own home!
Now, let’s get the obvious out of the way: Yes, we all have watched the movie. We’ve seen Jackie and Jet in action. We’ve seen the homage and allusions to the characters from Chinese legends and Kung Fu movies. We’ve learned about the real meaning of “Kung Fu”. But for those who wanted to hear about it from the “Drunken Master” himself, this is your opportunity. Enjoy this exclusive interview! Emilio Alpanseque: Jackie, we were looking forward to seeing the first collaboration between you and Jet Li. how was it working with him?
Jackie Chan: We really enjoyed it, as if we were two kids playing. Lots of people said that he became more active when I was around him. He usually was very quiet. Not like me. I liked to joke around, sweep the stage, kill flies, etc. I did lots of things. He just sat there by himself (mimic his Buddhist Chanting) – “A Mi Tuo Fo”. He told me some Buddhism stories during the movie shooting. I was only interested in 3 of them, not the other 7 (laughs). I learned a lot from the three stories. Buddhism teaching has its own philosophy. After all it teaches the basics of being a good person. It is very useful.
EA: The fighting scene between you two was very impressive. How do you feel about it?
JC: I had not had that great feeling for a long time. It was great. I had that experience when I worked with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. When I worked with other people, either I had to compromise a little bit, or they had to compromise if I had to fight with lots of people. If I fight with those not knowing how to fight, I have to compromise in the fighting. If I fight with those knowing how to fight well, they may have to slow down for me. But Jet Li and I did not have to do anything like that for each other. I still remember the first day I saw him on the set, it did not feel like it was the first collaboration between us, it was more like we just finished a movie together.
EA: How would you compare Jet Li’s fighting style with yours and how was it to finally shoot a fight scene together?
JC: Our fighting style, we are basically the same. We know “Bei Pai” – northern style Chinese martial arts. I first learned northern style, then learned southern styles like Tiger and Crane, Wing Chun, Pak Mei, but also practice Karate, Hapkido, Boxing; during those years those other kinds of martial arts were not practiced in China yet, China was closed, but we did have them in Hong Kong. So, my style has become more of a “Chop Suey” style. I can do everything. For our fight scene together, Yuen Woo-Ping had choreographed the first action sequences and Jet and I went to take a look at them. Two stuntmen did the demonstration, once they finished I asked him to show me the sequence one more. Then I said, “OK, let’s shoot it. We do not need a rehearsal”. Jet Li said “sure, let’s do it.” So, we did not do any rehearsal. Hey, that was a long fighting scene, no rehearsal. Once we are doing the moves, I looked at Jet Li and said, “you go faster, let’s see who is faster”. We were competing, showing off. It was fun at that moment. I told him to slow down. He said to me “you slow down”.
EA: As you said, Yuen Woo-Ping is the Wushu instructor for this movie. But since you usually design your own fight scenes, was it weird for you?
JC: It felt weird. It was. Why? I usually design the choreography of my fight scenes with the Jackie Chan Team and teach others how to fight. From the stunt team of this movie, Yuen Woo-Ping and his younger brother, we know each other. The others used to be just kids, we used to call them “little ghosts”. But now they teach me how to fight. Actually they were not teaching me how to fight. They did not dare to teach me. They just showed me the moves. Some of them are left handed, but I am right handed, it’s different. It’s like my experience of teaching Chris Tucker. He never got it easy, since he was left handed and I was right handed. So I had to adjust to his left-hand habit to show him the moves, it was not comfortable. Some of the moves they showed me, if I do it, I would do 1, 2, then lower down my head, done. Those are basics. I did not change the sequence they put together. I did whatever they showed me. Because I knew if I changed, they would be messed up. I also needed to give Yuen Woo-Ping my respect. Also, if I did not say anything, Jet Li would not say anything either. If Jet Li had no comments, I would not have comments either. So we both kept quiet. It was just like that.
EA: So the sequences were choreographed as you were going on?
JC: They had their beginning and ending points, some ideas. Yuen Woo-Ping would say “we respectively ask the two big brothers out for a break” so Jet and I would go out to chat until they finished choreographing the new fight scene. Then, they would ask us to come in again. We would go in and stand there so they could slowly show us the sequence of moves. Right after that, we would say “OK, let’s shoot”. Then we shoot. It was just like that, very fast. Those moves were so easy for us.
EA: This movie has many characters such as the Monkey King, the Eight Immortals, the Bride with White Hair all combined in the same story. What is your opinion about it and what do you think the reaction of the western audience will be?
JC: About this movie, we knew that the story was ridiculous when we were making it. But the story was about a young kid, who was just like any kid from France, German, Russia, or USA and loved Chinese Kung Fu. It is about a young kid who loves Chinese Kung Fu and culture. What he wanted everybody was to practice Kung Fu, Kung Fu, Kung Fu. He fell into a hole, a deep hole; he was falling deeper and deeper. With that in mind, I can accept the story. But nobody would make such a movie in China. Also nobody would write up such a story in China. We could have a story about Monkey King. But how come Monkey King dreamed about Drunken Fist, then the Eight Immortals, then the Jade Emperor. It’s totally a mess. But for foreign audience, they do not know who is Monkey King, what is Drunken Fist. They don’t know them. Anyway it’s fine to have them all together. I think as long as the movie can make Chinese culture look interesting, it works. Wow, what is it? What is Monkey King?
EA: Lastly, how did it feel to do “Drunken Boxing” after all these years?
JC: Sometimes, I feel very embarrassed! I refused to do it in a couple of movies already. Rush Hour director Bret Ratner asked me “just drink a little bit and then do some Drunken Boxing”, I said no, no more of that. But in the Forbidden Kingdom is a good opportunity to showcase different styles like mantis, tiger, etc. So it was a good idea. Show the spirit of martial arts, Chinese culture, respect, and those kinds of things. Combine comedy, excitement and education.
