The traditional Chinese Martial Arts (Wu Shu), after going through continuous development, has become a sport that is liked by the public. At present, the number of people who participate in the Wu Shu sport is increasing nationwide everyday. Their technical skills have also been rapidly developed and improved. In order to meet the demand of readers who study Wu Shu, we have transcribed this set or form “Spear Form Basic Training Study Book,” for general learners to use as a reference.

While compiling this set or form, the authors of the set have adopted traditional techniques of a variety of Wh Shu styles, as well as innovative techniques. Although all Wu Shu routines are based on jumps, balance, foot position, leg movement, rolling, turns, hand position, eye position, body movement, footwork, and strength, different routines have different technical requirements, and each routine has its own style and characteristic in terms of its movement, therefore posing different requirements for different exercises. For example, sword play changes rapidly, precise, light and quick; while spear play involves expansive movements, a lot of changes, a high level of difficulty and detailed requirements, etc. Correctly practicing various routines concurrently makes Wu Shu more valuable in terms of body-building, because it impels the body to thoroughly develop.

The entire basic practice routines are divided into Group A and Group B. Group A is more difficult and requires more vigorous movement. It is suitable to practice for athletes that have reached a certain level of techniques. Group B’s level of difficulty and strength is comparable to traditional technical routines used to improve overall technical skills. Due to lack of experience and our limited knowledge in all aspects, mistakes are unavoidable. Reader’ are welcome to provide us with comments to allow us to improve ourselves in the future.
