well this dosn't have much to do with breakdancing but....
I had a kung fu grading yesterday. Man was that sweet! We took part in a chinese parade where there was the phatest breakers. One dude did a cool x-out. After we did our grading in a chinese retaraunt with hardly any room and I almost kicked a little kid! Man it was so cool. Anyone here do wushu? |

"GRAFFITI IS AN ART, AND IF ART IS A CRIME, HOW COME PICASSO NEVER DONE TIME"
Cavemen did it, so did Romans and Egyptians. The Incas did it, so did Greeks and Native Americans. There was graffiti on the New York subway a year after it was built. There`s graffiti on the moon. If graffiti is vandalism, and vandalism is graffiti, then man has left his mark with garbage at the farthest reaches of the universe. So you with your pathetic desire to be remembered are in good company. I could spend a ream of paper telling you about the development of modern graffiti, but we`ve got other ground to cover. It`s important that you know it, so ask your local expert (or DJ Deadly Budda in Pittsburg if you don`t have one) and he`ll tell you his version. |

Well children let's not call out now. hands up if you want to ask a question.
Theb -"Mr Rewi, what's an x-out?" well it's a backflip with legs split. Talib Kweli- "What on earth is wushu" Well that's an interesting question. A more specific name for kung fu. All matrix, Jackie Chan, Jet Li movies are made with Wushu. class-"Gee mr Rewi you sure are smart" |

wushu is one style of martial arts...jackie chan uses more then wushu as does jet li, he uses two categories of something...if i can be bothered to get my dad to answer a question, ill ask him which to styles he does. like when u watch the one...hes using two of them, n he often does in his movies

Well it looks like it's time for a history lesson.
I'm not too sure the year but at some stage the emperor of china felt threatened by the monks who spent thier lifes souly training in martial arts in the temple of shaolin. He sent an army to destroy them and the temple of shaolin was completely irradiated except five children. These children started teaching shaolin kung fu to the actors in the chinese opera in hope that the kung fu would not die out. That is why Jackie Chan knows kung fu, it's because he is in the peking opera and he got tought it by his masters. That is also why the movies today mainly consist of wushu. When I watch movies I just see the moves that I do but modified for the cameras. Oh there goes the bell. Class dissmissed! |

point taken
I mean it would be stupid to say that the ONLY martial art in movies is wushu. I mean is ROCKY wushu? Just a little lesson. |

jet li was wushu campion for 5 years running or something like that. I've downloaded all his videos and he is so awesome. has anyone seen his old movies like shaolin temple? way better than his new films.
