  • UMBC Wushu Club Coach Matt Lee teaches the wheel arms technique in modern Wushu.
    The wheel arms are a common technique in the style of modern Wushu Changquan (Long Fist). The large, theatrical movements of the arms have a very dramatic appearance and lend themselves to the obvious performance value of modern Wushu Taolu. Many people see these movements and only believe that Wushu movement, techniques and practice are only trained for performance, with no actual martial content or application. However, many basic movements and techniques in modern Wushu come from actual traditional, Chinese martial arts styles; this particular movement comes from the wulongpanda technique of Piguaquan/Piguazhang, and clearly has martial content/application in the loose, fluid and elastic quality of the movement.

    Love this move!
    The translation I've had is "5 Dragons.." can't remember the rest.
    Good video.

      +Bajiquan London Hi! Thanks for your comment!
      To be precise, the original Chinese name is 五龙盘打 (wǔlóngpándǎ), which indeed translates into “five dragons coiling/twisting hit”, but is also written as 乌龙盘打 (wūlóngpándǎ), which I have also read translated as “black dragon twining, writhing hit.” Again, thanks for your comment! Appreciate the support! :)

      Hi! Thanks for your comment! There are many video tutorials on Wushu basics, however the one that I refer to the most, is this one on Changquan (长拳; chángquán, Long Fist, the “main” and most influential style of modern Wushu) basics featuring my personal Wushu idol, Wushu legend and champion Zhao Changjun: th-cam.com/video/GAXXxrAmEtI/w-d-xo.html
      Another good one is this one by the first generation Beijing Wushu Team (the same team that Jet Li came from), which also features the basic shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/jAxTeKs8VBM/w-d-xo.html
      I actually used both of these as references for standardizing the UMBC Wushu Club's curriculum of basics, which we now teach and practice, because they have a good overview of most, if not all the basic Wushu Changquan basics you should know when practicing. Hope that helps! Also, thanks for subscribing! :)

      Hi! Thank you for your comment! To answer your question, in modern Wushu, this technique has multiple names; it has been called 仆步抡拍掌 (pūbùlūnpāizhǎng; drop stance swinging slap palm), 抡臂仆步拍掌 (lūnbìpūbùpāizhǎng; swinging arms drop stance slap palm), but it is also called by its traditional name as it was taken from the traditional Wushu style of Piguazhang, 乌龙盘打 (wūlóngpándǎ; “black dragon twining, writhing hit”), also written as 五龙盘打 (wǔlóngpándǎ; “five dragons coiling/twisting hit”), as I replied in another comment. Hope that answers your question! :)
