Cal Arts Lion Dance Performance 2015

On behalf of the California Institute of the Arts (known as CalArts), Wushu Shaolin Entertainment was invited to produce a traditional Chinese Lion Dance Presentation in commemoration of the auspicious Chinese Lunar New Year of 2015. Cal Arts is a private university located in Valencia, in Los Angeles County, California. It was incorporated in 1961 as the first degree-granting institution of higher learning in the United States created specifically for students of both the visual and the performing arts.  The school was founded and created by Walt Disney in the early 1960s and staffed by a diverse array of professionals.

The Lion Dance presentation was a unique surprise for all of the students who converged at the Cal Arts Common Space to promote creative connectivity during the International Education Week festival. In addition to Lion Dancing, the International festival also included Japanese Origami, Candy Tasting, and Brazilian Capoeira at the main Gallery Hall.

 The event was a sensational surprise, as the Chinese Lion Costumes greeted many of the students bringing good luck and prosperity to all.  Ranked as America’s top college for students in the arts by Newsweek, the campus serves as a continual center for art, culture, and education. The Institute first envisioned by Walt Disney encompasses a vibrant, electric community, inviting experimentation, independent inquiry, and active collaboration among artists, and cultural traditions.

Wushu Warrior Series - Staff

What is Wushu? Well, that depends on your vantage. Some might call it a martial sport in the modern world. However, a literal translation of the Chinese word indicates that "wu" means military and "shu" means art. In that sense, wushu is a term that describes the Chinese martial arts, similar to kung fu. In fact, both kung fu and wushu were once considered to be the same thing. However, these days wushu is more considered to be more of an exhibition and full contact sport.  Here's why.

If one goes with the more literal translation of wushu as a term describing the Chinese martial arts, then the history is vast and somewhat clouded in mystery. Generally, the martial arts in China go back thousands of years and were formulated for the same reasons they were nearly everywhere- to aid in hunting and protect against enemies. One of the early formalizations of the arts seems to have occurred under Emperor Huangdi, who took the throne in 2698 B.C. Specifically, a type of wrestling was taught to troops at that time involving the use of horned helmets. This was called Horn Butting or Jiao Di.

These days, the term wushu is mostly used to describe an exhibition and combat sport, which is how it will be viewed for the rest of this article.

As was indicated earlier, the history of the Chinese martial arts are somewhat clouded in mystery. This is in part due to the length of time we're talking here- no history is very specific after thousands of years have gone by.

However, it is also in part due to efforts made under Mao Zedong and Communist rule to destroy almost everything traditional in China. Literature at the Shaolin Temple was destroyed at this time, and kung fu masters fled the country, all of which left the native arts somewhat fractured.

Given this and more, in the mid 1900's the Chinese government attempted to nationalize and standardize the practice of martial arts in China. In essence, this turned aspects of it into a sport. In 1958, the All-China Wushu Association came to be via an appointment from the government. Along with this, the sport became known as wushu.

Along the way, the Chinese State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports compelled and moved forward the creation of standardized forms for most of the major Chinese arts, which led to a national wushu system with standards for forms, teaching, and instructor grading. Around the same time, wushu teachings were blended into curriculums at the high school and university level.

In 1986, the Chinese National Research Institute of Wushu was established as the central authority for the research and administration of Wushu activities in the People's Republic of China.

Wushu competitions are generally divided into two disciplines- taolu (forms) and sanda (sparring). Taolu or forms are preordained movements designed to defend against imaginary attackers. The forms part of wushu competitions are of course judged according to specific criteria. However, in essence the forms that are used are derived in many ways from the traditional Chinese martial arts. More recently, wushu competitions have become known for highly flying acrobatics (high level spinning and jumping kicks, etc), than perhaps previously.

The sparring side of competitions- sanda, which is sometimes called sanshou- is all about standing or striking combat. That said, there is a level of grappling used in these competitions, derived from Shuai Jiao and/or Chin Na.
