Note: Just watch the video, if you aren’t impressed by thirty seconds you’re unimpressible.

This is a video of the first place sparring routine at the 13th World Wushu Championships in 2015 as choreographed and performed by Xiao Wu and Long Long Shi with an insane empty hand versus spear presentation. The performance received a very respectable score of 9.73. For reference, I would have accidentally stabbed my partner on the very first spear poke and had to perform the remainder of the set with a dead or dying teammate. It would be both easier and harder at the same time.
