Congrats!

Making the team is a great accomplishment!

It's also cool that you get to visit the villiage that your parents are from. Sounds like it will be an awesome experience.

Good luck!!!!

guess the name of the tournament didnt exactly jump out for some people.

world TRADITIONAL wushu championships.

doesn't matter if the form is traditional or not, the only form I've found useful in all my time studying TCMA are "foundational" forms a la Gung Gee Fook Fu, Iron Wire, Sam Bo Jin, some Baji stuff, Xing Yi stuff, etc. The type of stressful, strenuous building blocks to strength and a "gung fu body."

From my experience most CLF forms are just technical repetitions done in a different order with no real emphasis on the actual combat applications...

Doesn't matter either if a form is traditional or modern wushu, they really have no place in fighting and are only a tiny aspect of training.

To emphasize so much importance as to have a multi-national forms COMPETITION is really sad, IMHO.

I know some people will get offended by this but it is my honest opinion and it's not gonna change.

i used to wonder why kung fu ppls like to have kung fu tournaments and form competitions. then one day i saw a gay parade and it all made sense now.
wite ppls like to embaras themselves in pubic

Is Ram Muay and Wai Kru used for fighting?

No.

Even though in Thailand, a fighter can get AWARD for having the best/most extravagant Ram Muay!!!

But do you see "Ram Muay competition?" The answer is NO.

I hope I have made my point now.
