What do you think of Wushu?

Sure, it can be useful in the same way that dancing or rhythmic gymnastics could be useful. It won't teach you how to fight though.

I know it won't teach me how to fight, but I'm wondering if body flexibility and acrobatic movements do help with retreating or dodging.
Does it make a difference to combine this movements within a fight? (maybe not in contact/judo)

>>844581
It teaches you how to swing a sword and thrust a spear. That gets you a lot further in fighting ability than gymnastics or the tango.

we call is 新派武術(mean new martial art)
ur video not traditional wushu
essentially just a dance and perform
the wushu fight like this only in movie or performing

>>844802
What I want to know is if acrobatics performing can help me progress in real martial arts.

>>845012
Is a tornado kick considered acrobatic?

>>845012
The strength, flexibility, and basic coordination required in acrobatics generally transfers to martial arts.

>>845012
sure have little bit help but after this u still fight like other normal people

You'll get those attributes from actual martial arts training too. If you want to learn to fight just do it directly. Don't waste time on a tangential activity hoping it is going to have some spinoff benefit.

Learning to manually masturbate rodents would probably improve your penmanship, but it isn't really the best way to go about it, is it?

>It teaches you how to swing a sword and thrust a spear.
not it doesnt, it teaches you how to dance with a spear and sword, but the movements are completely distanced from actual sword cuts and spear thrusts
