Wushu encompasses all of the traditional Chinese martial arts styles, from the flowing movements of Tai Ji Quan to the sharp, explosive power needed to wield a broadsword (Dao).
In this course, we will cover some of the basic stances, kicks, and forms of Chang Quan, or "Long Fist" (we will also introduce performance-oriented aspects of wushu such as cartwheels and rolls). This bare-handed style emphasizes the extension of the body and requires flexibility, balance, and speed.
