Wushu washy
Wushu is an age old martial art of China. The term Wushu in Chinese means martial art. It's a synchronised movement of body for self defence and fitness. It's also considered the national sport of China. Wushu is not just about the movement of hands and legs, but is more encompassing the slow, soft and smooth movement of the body has a healing effect to your routine tissue and muscle injuries. One feels very fresh after a session of Wushu.
No pain, no gain
I needed to learn kickboxing for Lahore. But when you start learning an absolutely new exercise at the age of 21, you end up with a lot of injuries. Mine got worse because working out towards attaining an unbelievable body and trying to look the part of a convincing kickboxer was like pulling my body in two separate directions.u00a0
Kickboxing requires a catlike flexibility whereas gymming makes your body stiff ufffd and I was doing both. That is when I was shown the way to Wushu by coach Ho, national coach of China during my training stint in China.
Mad over martial arts
I was definitely not attracted to martial art when I saw kids learning acrobatics in the park. I was pushed to doing and practicing martial arts because of my film. But gradually I realised that it's a very peaceful medium to attain whatever you wish to. Martial art gives you mental stability and relaxes you. It is definitely much deeper than what appears on the surface. Now I am a complete martial art buff, without a doubt.
