Crisp movements are essential to score well in a wushu competition

As what we have been hearing, Wushu comprises 精"、"气"、"神。Basically, 精" is about the way you execute a stance (i.e. sharp, sloppy..), while 气 = vital, suggesting your stamina and 神 (spirited), the way you present yourself (first impression). Aren't both 精 and 神 similar? Erm, not really...for example...a pale-looking wushu practitioner who have been mugging up for several weeks 20 hours per day executes his movement with full of power quickly. In this case, although he has the 精, he has a poor/no 神 in him; this may cause him to lose some marks as compared to one who has both. So, what you can take away from here is that these 3 factors are correlated, hence for those who are competing, please rest well :)
As suggested by our Coach to watch the adidas commercial by Jet li regarding the way he executed his crisp movement...yup, it was easy to find those videos having "adidas AND Jet li"
Here they are:


erm, I was actually anticipating more, but it seemed differently to what I had thought.

Next, and I found this (only relevant video left)


There were a few such demonstrations, but we curious people love to find more..ok..:)
Alrighty, there you go...notice the way he executed each stance. OMG! Crisp and Powerful! This made him to earn his first wushu Changquan Champion!

*Disclaimer: That person in this video was Jet Li when he was young. For those who mistakenly thought that it was Zhang Tian :X please take note, although he looks like him..

Ok, that all I could find:( Please do not be disheartened, as what the adidas video has stated: "Nothing is impossible" Yesh! Besides using Expert Wushu Practitioner as example, I thought that it is a great idea to show you another example of crisp movements from non wushu source...
There you go...Enjoy!


Yup! Did you notice his sharp dance movements! Yes! If he were to dance sloppily, I presume you would have closed the window before finish watching the video.
Hence, crisp movements are essential to score well.
There is also another reason for why I chose this song. The name of this song is "BEAT IT!" As, some of our members are competing in IVP soon. I, on behalf of our NUSWushu President, "Pursuant to section N, paragraph U, section S of the NUSWushu competitors' act, I hereby wish you ALL THE BEST and Beat not just your honorary competitors but your usual best!" Thank you!

Alright that's all folks
GOOD LUCK!
