Round 2 — Talent Show

Contestant: Maki Umemoto

Division: Suginami

"My... I would have thought it more ideal to have the real deal, but I suppose a training guandao is needed for what I'm going to perform. I'm just doing some wushu in the taolu routine. I wanted to perform this in Guan Yu's outfit, since he is known to wield one dubbed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Since this is performative, do not expect much practicality out of what I am about to do. It's all for show after all... As a part of the talent show."

[khizuo]

as someone who's recently fallen down the wushu rabbit hole, can i just say it is so incredibly annoying whenever some person feels the need to comment "what's the real world application of this" on a taolu performance. like, nobody who is doing a taolu performance is trying to pretend that it's not a performance. is it Not Enough to you to watch an athlete perform something beautiful. anyways

Podría pedir el como serían Kureha, Kosho y Retsu con un s/o que entrena wushu?

Es un arte marcial que me gusta y admiro mucho

Hace tiempo que no pedían juntos al trío de oro del perfil (Kosho, Kureha y Retsu), espero disfrutes y disculpa si hay algo incorrecto, leí un poco y vi varios videos, pero puede que confunda conceptos importantes 👀

Situación: Con un S/O practicante del wushu.

Personajes: Kosho Shinogi, Kureha Shinogi y Retsu Kaioh.

Kosho Shinogi.

Probablemente lo atrajo el Taolu, pero lo engancho completamente la Sanda. Cree que es formidable, ambas formas, y quiere participar aunque sea una vez.

Querría probar su habilidad en la Sanda, está dispuesto a participar en un pequeño entrenamiento o dos, está muy entusiasmado de probar una nueva forma de pelea.

Va con todo, ha visto lo que su S/O puede hacer y sabe que serán capaces de igualar su ritmo. Está orgulloso.

Está impresionado por las piruetas y saltos complejos que se pueden realizar para las demostraciones, todo esa precisión y meticulosidad metida en cada movimiento no permite que voltee la mirada.

Kureha Shinogi.

Muy interesado, espera que su pareja le habla más sobre esta arte marcial y como puede aprender de ella para perfeccionar su propio estilo. Siempre está abierto a información y experiencias nuevas.

Se presta para entrenar con su S/O, va con todo y espera que su pareja también lo haga. Confía en las habilidades de su S/O, sabe que podrán sobrellevar el entrenamiento.

Elogia la rápida reacción que se debe poseer para sincronizarte con un oponente como para saber exactamente que hacer para frenar de tres a cuatro movimientos de forma continua.

Insistirá en que esta su S/O use uno de esos garrotes largos, gun, para atacarlo, quiere probar la fuerza del golpe y fortalecerse ante ello.

Retsu Kaioh.

Creo que le interesa mucho, no hay que decirlo porque ya todos lo saben. Está muy interesado principalmente por las habilidades que se necesitan para practicar esta arte marcial.

Lo respeta mucho, escuchará a su S/O cuando hable sobre ella porque igual quiere conocer más, y escuchar a su S/O hablar de algo que le apasiona siempre es algo que disfruta.

Disfrutará particularmente las demostraciones de Taolu, admira los movimientos calculados y los giros en el aire que realiza su S/O, no despega la mirada ni un segundo. No quiere perderse nada.

También quiere probar la fuerza del gun, ¿Qué tanto castigo podría resistir de un arma como esa? Ya sabes, cosas de artistas marciales. Entrenamiento en pareja, definitivamente, lo harán juntos al menos una vez a la semana.

What is Wushu Sanda???

Wushu sanda is the official Chinese boxing full-contact combat sport.[2] Sanda is a fighting system which was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Chinese martial arts and modern combat fighting techniques; it combines boxing and full-contact kickboxing, which includes close range and rapid successive punches and kicks, with wrestling, takedowns, throws, sweeps, kick catches, and in some competitions, even elbow and knee strikes.[3][4]

]Wushu is practiced both through forms, called taolu, and as a full-contact combat sport, known as sanda.[2][3] It has a long history of Chinese martial arts and was developed in 1949 to standardize the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts,[4] though attempts to structure the various decentralized martial arts traditions date back earlier when the Central Guoshu Institute was established at Nanjing in 1928.

History of Wushu Sanda

https://boec.com/history-of-wushu/

In 1958, the government established the All-China Wushu Association as an umbrella organization to regulate martial arts training. The Chinese State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports took the lead in creating standardized forms for most of the major arts. During this period, a national Wushu system that included standard forms, teaching curriculum, and instructor grading was established. Wushu was introduced at both the high school and university level. This new system seeks to incorporate common elements from all styles and forms as well as the general ideas associated with Chinese martial arts. Stylistic concepts such as hard, soft, internal, external, as well as classifications based on schools such as Shaolin, Taiji, Wudang and others were all integrated into one system. Wushu became the government sponsored standard for the training in martial arts in China. The push for standardization continued leading to widespread adaptation. In 1979, the State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports created a special task force to teaching and practice of Wushu. In 1986, the Chinese National Research Institute of Wushu was established as the central authority for the research and administration of Wushu activities in China.

Changing government policies and attitudes towards sports in general lead to the closing of the State Sports Commission (the central sports authority) in 1998. This closure is viewed as an attempt to partially de-politicize organized sports and move Chinese sport policies towards a more market-driven approach. As a result of these changing sociological factors within China, both traditional styles and modern Wushu approaches are being promoted by the International Wushu Federation.

Did you know tai chi (taijiquan) is being contested as a sport at the South-East Asian Games (SEA Games) 2023 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia?

Specifically, it is one of the events under the umbrella sport of wushu, a collection of Chinese martial arts. Wushu is also sometimes called kung fu, and both are names generally referring to the Chinese martial arts

Shaolin tradition and culuture

The Shaolin tradition encompasses a rich tapestry of culture, history, philosophy, and martial arts that has evolved over centuries within and around the Shaolin Temple in China. Here's an exploration of the key elements of Shaolin tradition and culture:

1. Buddhism:

Central to the Shaolin tradition is Buddhism, particularly Chan Buddhism (Zen Buddhism). The Shaolin Temple was originally established as a center for Buddhist practice, meditation, and study.

Buddhist principles such as compassion, mindfulness, and detachment are integral to Shaolin philosophy and martial arts training.

Shaolin monks engage in daily rituals, meditation practices, and Buddhist teachings to cultivate spiritual enlightenment and self-awareness.

2. Martial Arts (Shaolin Kung Fu):

Shaolin Kung Fu is renowned worldwide for its dynamic movements, acrobatics, and striking techniques. It encompasses a wide range of styles, forms, and techniques, each with its own emphasis and specialty.

Shaolin martial arts training emphasizes physical conditioning, flexibility, agility, and mental focus. Practitioners undergo rigorous training regimes that include strength training, flexibility exercises, forms practice (known as "taolu"), sparring, and weapons training.

The Shaolin Temple is considered the birthplace of Chinese martial arts, and its legacy has influenced martial arts practices globally.

3. Philosophy and Ethics:

Shaolin philosophy is deeply rooted in Buddhist principles and emphasizes moral integrity, discipline, and humility.

The concept of Wu De (武德), or martial virtue, is central to Shaolin culture, promoting virtues such as courage, honor, loyalty, and compassion.

Shaolin practitioners strive to embody the principles of martial virtue both in their martial arts practice and in their daily lives, seeking to cultivate a harmonious balance between physical prowess and spiritual development.

4. Cultural Heritage:

The Shaolin Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is recognized as an important cultural and historical landmark in China.

Shaolin culture encompasses various traditional arts and practices, including calligraphy, tea ceremony, Chinese medicine, and Buddhist rituals.

Shaolin cultural performances, such as martial arts demonstrations, lion dances, and drum performances, showcase the temple's rich heritage and attract visitors from around the world.

5. Community and Lineage:

Shaolin culture places a strong emphasis on community, camaraderie, and respect for lineage and tradition.

Shaolin monks and practitioners form tight-knit communities bound by shared values, experiences, and martial arts lineage.

Lineage is highly regarded in Shaolin culture, with practitioners often tracing their martial arts heritage back through generations of masters and disciples.

6. Global Influence:

Shaolin culture has had a profound impact on global martial arts practices and popular culture. Shaolin Kung Fu has inspired countless martial artists, films, literature, and media around the world.

The Shaolin Temple has become a symbol of Chinese martial arts tradition and spiritual cultivation, attracting visitors, students, and enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds.

Overall, the Shaolin tradition encompasses a multifaceted blend of Buddhism, martial arts, philosophy, and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate people worldwide. Its enduring legacy reflects the timeless pursuit of physical, mental, and spiritual excellence.

This post is getting long… anyway, more ideas. Feel free to use!

—

The boys play strip poker. Too bad Yagami’s a poker champ

Yagami gets a headache on the way to the final showdown with Soma. Higashi is concerned (migraines because of previous tbi, induced and exacerbated by rainy weather)

Higashi has only ever seen calm, cool, collected Yagami. Aggressive, sure, but never enraged. For all the years he’s known him, the slightly goofy, completely even tempered older man has never once lost his cool. And then one day he does, and Higashi gets to see Yagami’s buried anger issues up close and personal

Higashi isn’t sure which is scarier: Yagami’s slow but explosive temper, or the eerie calm when things get really bad

Yagami is fast, adaptable, graceful, shrewd, athletic, powerful, and also a fucking show off. Higashi hates that he’s impressed, but he can’t deny that it’s true. Watching Yagami fight is like watching some divine creature dance

Higashi comes to the agency to talk to Kaito. He finds Yagami instead, all the furniture inside the small office pushed aside, allowing him the space to practice complicated-looking taolu (forms) in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. There’s so much to look at, so much to take in, but his hands are what draws Higashi’s eyes the most as they gracefully shape the air. He thinks Yagami hasn’t noticed him, but the older man always knows when he has an audience

Kaigami and Ichizhao double date. Yagami and Zhao have been talking since they met about playing a drinking game where every time the other’s partner does something that reminds them of their own partner, they take a shot. They both get absolutely hammered, and they entertain the bright idea to show off with some Drunken Fist. Ichiban and Kaito, who are still sober, try to talk them out of it. They fail. This might not end well

Some story ideas. Maybe I’ll actually get around to writing one or two. If you’d like to use them, please feel free! Just be sure to tag me so I can see!

———

Saori had met Higashi a thousand times before, had always thought him handsome, but it’s not until she witnesses his kindness that she wonders if she wouldn’t mind getting to know him a little better

Higashi is impressed by Yagami’s parkour skills, and a little frightened at how easily he can choke a man out

Higashi and Yagami share a drink in the arcade. But with Higashi, it always feels like Yagami’s taking one step forward, only to immediately take two back

Tesso offers Yagami and co. a place to spend the night. He figures now’s as good a time as any to finally bond with his kyodai

Sugiura doesn’t visit Kaito in the hospital. Kaito wants to know why. Turns out Kaito getting stabbed had scared Sugiura more than anyone thinks, and Sugiura’s first goal is always to protect himself

Higashi drives to Yokohama with Hoshino-kun. Teasing ensues, and maybe leads to something more

Zhao and Yagami bond over their mutual taste in outerwear

Yagami nearly gets blown up. Sugiura can’t believe his eyes when the detective finally drags himself back to Yokohama 99. Maybe Kaito is there

Yagami and Sugiura skate around town. Sugiura gets a little distracted and eats shit, and Yagami is not about to let him live it down
