Qiangshu (Qiāng Shù) (Spear)
Qiang (Qiāng) is one of the long-weapons of wushu, considered the “king” of all weapons. Qiangshu is characterized by its agile footwork and flexible body work, smooth transitions, fast and precise techniques, with both short and long range techniques, and its core technique is thrusting. Its performance requires unity between the body and the weapon, and relies on force generated from the entire body. This creates a breathtaking and mesmerizing display. Qiangshu is likened a soaring dragon. #wushu #taolu
