waaaaa... it is really powerdeful sia... this is my first time watching a live wushu performance.. Some of the members and i went to watch it at the Indoor Stadium today.. not really fully occupied but thank goodness, i went.. i just reach home and wanna share before my memory card cock up.. hehe
here goes... maybe i go straight to the exciting parts lar hor.. so first is the Lion Dance.. its call Free-Style Lion Dance.. meaning the lion dance on the metal poles.. and its so dangerous.. but these 2 fellows did it and so cute.. the lion.. cos when they wan to show that the lion is thinking, they will wag its tail.. and its look so cute sia.. haha... but u will feel scare for them when they are jumping around... like the saying goes.. one minute on the stage, but ten years off the stage...
actually today is the opening ceremony of the 3rd Asian Junior Championships 2005 and the launch of the new logo... so there is no real fighting.. but since its call the Wushu display and wow.. its still makes me cry for more...
the list goes, there are Tao Nam Fist, Weapon/Bare-hand Sparring, Competition Wushu Routine, Indian Martial Arts, Wu Style Taijiquan, Broadsword Display, Bajiquan, Silat, Cudget Display, Military Pick, Shaolin Fan, Single-arm Broadsword, Taiji Sword, Basic Fist, Weapons Sparring, Chen Style Taijiquan, Zhou Jia Spear, Special Weapons, 9-Ring Broadsword/Broadsword,Traditional Wushu Routine and Luminous Dragon Performance.
The performancers came from India, China, Malaysia and other countries and including Singapore. The Taijiquan and other related Taiji display didnt really interest me, in fact i kinda feel like sleeping.. no offence to them.. i guess its the music ba... some of the wushu display also didnt interest me.. its either not much force or too repetitive ba.. The Indian Martial Arts keep hiting the ground... I also notice a lot of things... i somehow knew when they are going to end the display... which we call SHOU QUAN... the Drunken Sword are big moves... the Shaolin Fan ma.. a bit wu liao.. and so are the Special Weapons and Military Pick... although the book i bought explains their origin.. but i still find those styles redundant... my own opinion lar...
The best are the display from China... all youngster... the moves they delivered.. wow.. quick.. swift.. accurate... precise... i really watch with my mouth open.. and a lot of claps was given to them.. if only they have autograph session... hehe... the way they jump, turn, flip, execute their moves etc.. all so fantastic... then the association.. DEWU Pugilistic Assoication.. although they were given one minute.. but its also fantastic.. YI CHI BANG SIA... watching halfway, i suddenly remembered i wanted to take a photo.. but by the time i pressed the camera function.. the display is over.. sigh...
lastly, the whole event ends with the luminous dragon dance.. the stadium lights was off and florescent light was brought in.. then the dragon was kinda luminated by it.. so pretty... hehe..
