Master Su Zifang Presents “Gentle and Safe Warmups”
Master Su leads you through a series of gentle movements that thoroughly and safely warm up your joints, from the small joints of each finger through the major joints at the hips and shoulders. She has selected movements that assure safety of every joint and muscle. As head coach of the Singapore Wushu Team for eight years, she researched and designed a series of warmups for training high-level Wushu athletes, who need to remain injury-free by getting adequate preparation for their demanding routines. In this adapted version, appropriate for all types of athletic endeavors, the warmups are suitable for all ages and physical conditions. You’ll enjoy learning these movements, and you’ll be excited about taking them back to your students and patients. A delightfully engaging teacher, Master Su brings you clearly through every moment of the session.
