@@aurelijusvijunas529 You miss the point. People wear what they feel comfortable wearing for a particular activity. There is both aesthetics and psychology in this. Out in the real world of applied martial arts you are wearing whatever you have on. When demonstrating you wear what is aesthetically pleasing if that is what you want to do. I doubt any serious MA person who does demonstrations seriously believes that the clothes are the key thing, dude.
Qing Tian Xia I thought you would write something like this - and will probably continue so, which makes me regret having gotten into this stupid conversation. Are you, perhaps, one of the people in this video? If so, no more things need to be said, other than "enjoy wearing the fancy clothes" - even though they won't make your baguazhang better. If you are not one of these "practicioners", but just happen to enjoy these flashy, but internally quite empty videos, it's your full right, of course. But I will repeat it once again: no clothes will improve one's performance of martial arts. I see that people always sport flashy costumes in Wudang videos. But this is typical of China, where "wu-shu" is primarily a form of entertainment. Beautiful clothes indeed help in this case - that much is true.
@@aurelijusvijunas529 you are projecting your prejudice without knowing the facts of why they are wearing these clothes. In form competition the emphasis is on precision movement and visual beauty, hence the clothes. They do not wear this stuff during sanda (full contact fighting). And before you go off on another projection, I haven't said the clothes make anyone a better practitioner, and neither have these people. Only you are making that supposed connection in order to criticise it.
