2002 China Nationals Wushu Championships VCDs
The 2002 China Nationals were held in September 2002 in Fujian Provinvce. Due to the success of the 2001 All China Games VCDs I decided to release another set of VCDs for this competition. Many of the famous names that competed in the All China Games have retired, so there are a lot of new talent on these discs, as well as many returning favorites.
This year's event is the annual championship to name the top ranking male and female athletes from top level teams throughout China. Unlike the All-China Games, that means not just provincial teams, but also from top sports institutes (eg Beijing University of Physical Education, Shanghai Tiyu Xueyan, etc). There also are no compulsory routines, only individual, and most importantly, the events for competition include things like other emptyhand (animal styles, other internal styles, etc) and other weapons (other single, double and flexible weapons).
There have been many changes instituted in the competition format for 2002. Many of the rules we recognize from international competition are gone, also the required movements for each division have changed since 2001. The changes in Nanquan are particularly controversal.
Due to the many different events, the 2002 China Nationals will be presented on seven discs:
Volume 1: Changquan - Nanquan
Volume 2: Broadsword - Straightsword
Volume 3: Staff - Spear
Volume 4: Other Emptyhand (Classes 1,2,3) - Sold Out!
Volume 5: Other Weapons (Single, Double, Flexible)
Volume 6: Taiji (Taijiquan, Taiji Sword)
Volume 7: Sparring Sets

Is this a professional production? No, meaning you get a little unsteady camera work, voices in the background, etc. But as you can see from the clips and stills above, the quality is pretty good and the editing and titles are better than you'll find on many 'professional' videos on sale.
How much does it cost and how much to ship and how long will it take to get it? For orders to the US and Canada, the cost is $15 per disc. Shipping for up to 6 discs is just $3.95. It will be shipped US Postal Service priority. Domestic customers should get it within a week to ten days.
For International orders, the cost is $16.00 per disc and $3.95 for shipping of up to 6 discs (since paypal.com only lets sellers use one set of shipping charges, the increased cost of shipping is reflected in the disc price). Discs will be mailed US Postal Service global priority. Shipping time depends on the distance and the foriegn postal service, so I can't make any promises about how long it will take to recieve it.
What is the return policy? Due to the difficulty in shipping and crediting orders once they're sent, there are absolutely no returns. All discs are tested before being shipped, but if you have problems playing your discs, email me at raffi at beijingwushuteam.com .
Is this product related to the Beijing Wushu Team? No, although I am a big fan, to the point where I have created the 'beijingwushuteam.com' website, this product is not related to the team. As I am a fan, I tended to get more footage of the Beijing Wushu Team athletes as they competed, so the videos do in some cases feature them during scoring and when on deck for competing.
So what makes this competition worth seeing?
There are a couple good reasons to check these discs out:
1) It is the latest wushu sets and movements among top athletes in China. Stuff you simply can't see anywhere else.
2) These VCDs actually have titles and results in English, so unlike most wushu tapes, you actually know who the athletes are, what team they're on and how well they did.
3) Rather then spending hours to download low resolution video clips off the internet you can get an entire CD-ROM worth of great wushu that you can watch on your television for a reasonable price.
