A few months ago we set out to create a series of original wushu forms appropriate for the Elementary School set, and we’d like to offer a quick film as a bit of proof of concept. This is the second in a series intended for publication in the near future.
As usual, our students completely blew our minds with their incredible spirit and willingness to try something new. When we shot this film, I sat them down and told them they were going to be working on a movie set, warming themselves up to prepare their bodies for the best performance possible (we normally warm up as a group). They chose their own placement in the formation.
So, after many weeks of jumping around like animals, here is:
THE STRAIGHT OUTTA BROOKLYN FORM!!
Here’s the script:
RAT – Snatches the cheese
PIGEON – On a hot sidewalk
SQUIRREL – Hops the fence
DOG – Smells a hotdog
CAT – Scratches the post
Next: From the Farm Form (say it 10 times at killa kung fu speed!)
