This is a rare video fo the Beijing Wushu Team’s jibengong training from 1995 at the Shichahai Sports School. Practicing wushu is not just about forms. It is built on a foundation of basics training to continually refine and reenforce the skills, strength, flexibility and coordination to perform high level wushu. Calling these exercises “basics” doesn’t mean that they are easy nor simple. It means that they are at the very core of wushu training. Practice your basics as if they are advanced.
