A Week of Training: Wushu + Strength Vlog

[@heerocolin]

I really like this style of vlog, seeing the detail of each day is so helpful if you're on a similar journey.

[@BrandonSugiyama]

I think this might be the first time I've ever seen you do consecutive basic marching kicks. Good self analysis and interesting to see the exercises you're doing to kind of deprogram yourself. I used to watch the referenced video every day and sometimes right before going to wushu practice to try and prime myself for kicks. It's a very hard skill to develop (super elastic fast kicks with very relaxed and stable upper body)

[@gengispolanco5114]

Much love & respect for you always bosslady, very proud of you. Thank you for everything you do & your contributions to the martial arts, God bless 🐼❤🙏

How long do you work on your strength and conditioning, flexibility and wushu each day? I'm still figuring out how much of each thing my body can recover from to keep training during the same and the next day. I will take this morning/afternoon division of trainings during the days trainings overlap, it makes more sense than the way I was doing it. I practice flexibility 3 times a week, half an hour to get to the middle split and half an hour to get to the frontal split, I wouldn't change that. I learn something important from your video, I have been doing 5 days a week of strength training, dividing all the muscle groups in those 5 days to make it possible. Then I also practice wushu 4 times a week, 2 days on group classes, 2 days on my own. I have been able to do it with the proper nutrition. But I think I will modify my strength and conditioning training approach by limiting it to specific objectives, and not just targeting the entire muscles. Instead of having 3 "legs" days and 2 upper body days, I will focus exclusively in the strength I need to build for specific postures, another day in the muscular/cardiovascular endurance, and the third one on explosiveness. I will reduce strenght/conditioning training to three days, and make it shorter but precise, establishing clear objectives. This will make more sense than my actual rutine. How do you manage to train strength and conditioning without getting your muscles too sore for wushu training? Are your strength/conditioning sessions shorter but with a few precise objectives each time? Thanks for sharing.

So cool and inspirational. Thumbs up!!

[@RebeccaChinn]

Thank you, love you!

[@Itsolaskancke]

This was lovely! It took me right back to training camp memories 🥲

[@RebeccaChinn]

Aw I'm so happy to hear that! Sounds like you're a former athlete?? Where did you train?? :D

[@Itsolaskancke]

@@RebeccaChinn Norway :-) I never competed, but I performed a lot 😅I worked at a circus, and wushu was a big part of my act

[@RebeccaChinn]

@@Itsolaskancke that's awesome!!! Are there videos of this??? Jiayou!

[@RebeccaChinn]

Ah just found your stunt reel :D 🔥🔥🔥

[@Itsolaskancke]

@@RebeccaChinn that’s most of what I have 😅 I’m notoriously bad at filming

[@chohib]

Great workouts thank you 🙏 👏💪👍😊

[@ArkeshwarMedatwal]

Hey, can you suggest some Explosive exercises or sessions for jumps

[@TheOnlyDonaldLoveJr]

This is Gold.

[@prestongamer1270]

Im a wushu learner as well, i would like to ask about how to deal with negative thoughts in middle of training?

[@monkesince1995]

Please upload more wushu vlogs if possible. Iam an ex wushuka who is planning for a comeback after 5 years. 👍👍

[@RebeccaChinn]

Absolutely! Will do, jiayou with your comeback!!!

[@GenivalSiqueira]

She is fantastic

[@Chadi]

Hello, does your Wushu training involve only striking? Or do you grappler/wrestle as well?

[@RebeccaChinn]

Hi Chadi! Great question. I practice a type of wushu that only includes the taolu, or forms. We include striking moves in our forms, but don't do any actual striking work, nor do we grapple. Your channel looks awesome, btw, adding some vids to my watch later playlist!!

[@Chadi]

@@RebeccaChinn Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@sousalarson6858]

I dont even do spear but that wheel arm with the spear was so cool o.o May i ask who your strength coach is? Are they taking on new clients? What December tournament? o.o We are alsooooo preparing for a December tourney

[@RebeccaChinn]

Lolllll just seeing this - Im figuring out how to use the KZbin studio tools and finding all the comments I've missed 😅 My coaches name is Colin Cook and he trained wushu for many years at Shichahai in Beijing! He's not taking clients at the moment - are you looking for a strength coach? Also lol. Yes. It was the same comp 😅😅😅 next time this happens I will say hi to you!!!

[@sousalarson6858]

@@RebeccaChinn No problem :) Im sure youve got a lot to do and figure out. KZbin is hard. I am looking...ish. Ive done some work on my own but am not great at pitting together my own program. But i also dont have a lot of budget so its more an...ideal to have a strength coach. Whelp...next time xD And next time i wont get distracted and will actually watch your set and get pictures!

[@wawawho18_adventures]

damn watching this video makes me miss training...good luck in phx! Btw. You dont want to add running long distance to ur training to help with endurance? I feel like it helped me back then. Along with endless frog jumps.

[@RebeccaChinn]

Haha yesss frog jumps 😂 currently for endurance training I do a lot of mabu gongu sets (a couple carpet lengths at a time) because it trains the anaerobic system and is wushu specific. my legs die haha 😆 Thank you so much!! Haha do I know you? 😀

[@wawawho18_adventures]

no...found you thru phx wushu nationals ig i will be there this weekend too!

[@RebeccaChinn]

@@wawawho18_adventures oh awesome! Do say hi if you feel so inclined :D

[@wawawho18_adventures]

Haha if i can recognize you....i suck at recognizing people rofllll But feel free to say hi to me too if u want hahaha

[@PiggyBlackWhite]

This is Tiffany! Thank you so much for sharing this! I was going to, but got shy asking your training schedule and this is helpful and I love your focus, commitment to wushu, it helps me stay committed and focused. I think you embody the Six Harmonies well of 六合八法拳: 體合於心 (Pinyin: tǐ hé yū xīn) Body and Mind Combine 心合於意 (xīn hé yū yì) Mind and Intent Combine 意合於氣 (yì hé yū qì) Intent and Chi Combine 氣合於神 (qì hé yū shén) Chi and Spirit Combine 神合於動 (shén hé yū dòng) Spirit and Movement Combine 動合於空 (dòng hé yū kōng) Movement and Emptiness Combine I get so distracted or unfocused, I try to recite these to get me back to practicing @@. They also are poetic as well. :)

[@RebeccaChinn]

So poetic indeed!!! I love how deep concepts can be expressed so simply in Chinese 💕💕💕

[@TheOnlyDonaldLoveJr]

I'm so jealous that I see everyone with wushu competition shoes. I can't find ANY in my size. 😔😥

[@RebeccaChinn]

The struggle is real! I have friends who also have trouble finding weapons that suit their height - everything is designed for Chinese people 😭😂.

[@aleicon7896]

Wushu... Goo JiayoO

[@SecretsOfMartialArts]

Good girl😊

[@ArkeshwarMedatwal]

Which app you used for splits and flexibility

[@RebeccaChinn]

I don't use an app, I use Tom Merricks KZbin videos! He's amazing! And free!

[@ArkeshwarMedatwal]

@@RebeccaChinn thanks for sharing and on what basis you design your training programme or schedule

[@RebeccaChinn]

@@ArkeshwarMedatwal I have two really experienced coaches - a strength coach and a wushu coach. Between the two of them they, they direct my training regiment.

[@ArkeshwarMedatwal]

@@RebeccaChinn 👍 thanks that's helpful

[@RebeccaChinn]

@@ArkeshwarMedatwal good luck!! Let me know if I can help. Honestly having a good coach is the best thing anyone can do for their wushu, but it's not a privilege available to everyone. What is your situation like? I hope you find a structure that works for you.

[@rockerdrake]

first time here, my impressions: lovely girl and training
