Contrary to popular belief,Wushu isn't a 50 turn frames judo,where everything depends on an opener.Wushu is all about improvisation and comebacks.
What is improvisation?In short,it's simply randomly clicking on the start or at least semi-random(with attention not to dq).But this is not an opener,for sure.Comebacks is when you are coming back to your opponent...captain obvious approved...
I learned how to play Wushu on my own,I'm still not the best though,pretty average I'd say...nevermind.
The only way of earning good skills in Wushu is by starting with random clicks.
Why?Because after you mashed up all your joints,you have to start fighting somehow,and the only way is by yourself up to attack your opponent.It also teaches you how to avoid dqs.Now,why do we need set-ups?They might be used for attacks or comebacks,both important aspects of wushu.Tripoding,and running away is lame stuff that you would want to avoid to earn real skills,and have a fair,enjoyable fight.Good form means making comebacks whatever the score is,even if you're winning.It's good for your skills,and your reputation.
So to perform a comeback you need to set it up.There are lots of ways to comeback.Therefore,there are lots of variants for comebacks,but I want to show you this way of setting up and coming back:
It doesn't mean this one is better than any other one,I picked it just as an example,and it shares something in common with most comeback set-ups.Captain obvious says:If you extend knee and/or wrist,you will be to move forward,or whatever the side is.Anyway,most likely you will end up like this:
And as any comeback set-ups,it doesn't mean you can move only to one side.You can use it to move to any direction of your desire.Like this:
As you can see,there are lots of variants.Double arrows show you the direction your tori will move,if you use the joints marked with arrows color.You also can attack right from this set up,getting something like this:
Anyway back to comebacks,that's how comebacks using wrists goes:
It doesn't mean that this is the best way to comeback with wrists.You will have to adjust the comeback according to the situation,captain obvious again.
Using wrists and or elbow/elbows will most probably give you something like this:
