| I went to watch a modern wushu tournament today. It was amazing. There were like 5 year old kids doing aerials and 540s and stuff. Their hands were fast as lightning too.. who cares if they cant fight? |

but the really interesting bit is, how much training would it then take to teach them to fight?

um, anyone with half a brain would know what not to use in a fight.
what i was talking about was that these guys, at five, already have flexible and strong bodies, good handspeed, good control of body movement etc etc...
how much sparring/training would it take to hone their display skils into fighting skills?

it probably would have been better for fighting if they had put the effort (and the steroids?) needed for the 540s into punching and kicking.

Yup. Wushu is amazingly cool to watch. That's sort of the point.
>There were like 5 year old kids doing aerials and 540s and stuff.
If you'd like to try to learn some of that yourself, there are some attempts at tutorials at http://www.bilang.com. Getting someone to teach you, would of course be much better.

Sure...but you don't take Wushu to learn to fight. You take it specifically so you can look cool, or as my instructor says 'to be beautiful.'

Wushu is a beautiful art, I stress the word art.
