Thanks so much for such interesting and very good thoughts you've shared with us! I think I'm totally according to what you0ve written. As many of the struggles and the situations you described and not described I lived in my old and actually Wushu Guan. I think...that everybody and everything in my city (Florence) tried with all its weapons to make me and some friend stop playing Wushu (not using practicing c'ause I wont to underline the feeing of enjoy during making Wushu...like I love to paint my watercolors!!!) many foult and actually do other things, but there's a little core of Wushu lover which still train, and go to China, and watch video, and allways think about something new or different in our beloved Wushu. I think... My life had a total change since I started playing Wushu. And this kind of f*cking amazing Wushu, gived me the opportunity to see myself trough any moment of my training. I could write a lot more,,,but in few words I just would like to express my gratitude to you (as I told you by facebook) and I hope we can meet sooner or later, may in Xi'an! Best regards and greetings from Florence from my girlfriend Claudia and me! 你 意大 离武术朋有羞龍 Dear Narom, ni hao!

I suppose if one's interest generally wanes over the years (it happens to us all) and you lose interest in wushu, that is one thing. But why stop doing it all together when you stop competing? You didn't start doing wushu to compete, so why is a lack of competition a factor for stopping? (Unless it is related to a lack of time or resources, which is a whole different issue, of course.)

Was there really nothing about wushu that made them want to continue practicing even if it meant not winning anything? =( - Derek This might be a little off topic but I always thought it was sad how top-level athletes (excluding China, I can understand how they can get sick of training, haha) would just stop wushu all together once their competition prime was over and “retire”.

It has to be a personal choice. No one can force another person to have a passion for wushu -- it has to come from their own personal convictions and introspection. I'm glad you were able to re-discover your love for wushu! - mark Absolutely. It has to be a personal choice.

I started last year at 17 and have struggled with the same issues along the way. I live in Singapore and we have these Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) that everyone has to sign up for in Junior College. My batch and I trained hard but after the Inter-School Competition concluded this year most of them stopped. I tried to incite passion in my juniors but most of them really can't be bothered to train. Right when I was feeling depressed that no one had the same passion in Wushu as I did, I remembered why I even did Wushu in the first place, and just like that, I regained my motivation. I'll continue doing Wushu until I die (if I can't do Nanquan I'll just go to Taiji), just like Jiang Bang Jun and Zhao Chang Jun do. It is an inspiration to see them in their 40s still putting their best into the sport. And I also realised that everyone has to find their own passion for Wushu. I tried to make my teammates feel it but ultimately it is their choice. Anyway, your email was very philosophical. Thumbs up to you. So true.
