Fundamentals of High Performance Wushu: Taolu Jumps and Spins

You can find advice all over the internet on how to do certain moves, but nothing online has compared to the wealth of detail contained in this book. The author breaks the moves down into such minute detail, then explains the common mistakes people make, and drills that can be done to get the move.I was a little put off at first by the stick figure drawings, but they're well done and I've come to realize that they demonstrate the moves and concepts far more easily than static pictures of people.In addition, the author runs a website where he posts updates (things like wushu competition rules changing and how that affects the move) and responds to questions in the book's forum. I suppose you could skip buying the book and post a million questions to the forum, but don't be a jerk/cheapskate. Buy the book, you won't regret it. And if anything doesn't make sense or you feel it's missing something, go ask.

I would call this book the Tao Of Wushu Fundamentals because it shows you so much on all the movement I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning Wushu if I could I would give this book a 10+ : )

I just got this book last month, and it's great! Every move is analyzed in incredible detail and it really helps you understand how to do the jumps better. I'm still working on my moves but I've already increased my rotations!! I've just about got my 540 and I'm on my way to 720! The tips in there are so on the money, and even though the book is a little wordy, it's soooo easy to read. Way more helpful than some other martial arts books I've looked at. Oh yeah, and there's a companion guide to the book you can download too.The book goes over:Jump Front KickJump Inside Kick (XFJ)Running Jump Outside KickStanding Jump Outside KickButterfly KickButterfly TwistAerialAerial TwistFront SweepBack SweepHighly recommended!!

This books goes into great detail on technique, erros, and drills for NANDU (jumps) in WUSHU. As a national wushu team member (mexico) this book has helped me to learn and control my jumps, this book is a must for every wushu athlete and serious coach.
