2004 China National Men's Competition VCDs

The 2004 China National Men's Competition was held June 12-14 in Hubei Province. This competition serves as the men's qualifier for the National Championships held in September. The top twelve finishers from this event are allowed to move on to the next competition to compete for individual championships. Therefore unlike the nationals, there are many more competitors per division at this event, from a wide variety of provincial, city and institutional teams throughout China. Many are experienced pro-level athletes, and there are also many rising stars just up from the junior leagues.

These events at this competition include Changquan, Nanquan, Taiji, Broadsword, Straightsword, Taiji sword, Staff, Spear, Nangun (Southern Staff) and Sparring Sets. There are new difficulty moves this year and its interesting to see how athletes are incorporating these into their new individual forms, especially in the taiji divisions. Nanquan and Nangun divisions should also be of particular interest to Southern fans, as the changes we saw in Nanquan in 2002 have continued to change (many people feel in the right direction this time), also perhaps most importantly, the nangun sets are individual forms, not the international compulsory, as it had been in the past.

The 2004 China National Men's Competition is presented on 5 seperate discs:

Volume 1: Changquan
Volume 2: Nanquan / Nandao
Volume 3: Broadsword / Straightsword
Volume 4: Staff - Spear
Volume 5: Sparring Sets / Taiji

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 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 in most cases, 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 worth of great wushu that you can watch on your television for a reasonable price. p>
