• 3rd World Traditional Wushu Championships

  Well... I got a Gold medal 
  Whatever I say here cannot do justice to the events that transpired during my time in China. It was without a doubt one of the most wonderful experiences in my life.
  Prior to the competition I trained in Beijing (Shi Cha Hai) with the Beijing wushu team for a week. I was so happy to be able to spend time and train with my brothers, whom i love so much . Wu Di was there by my seid the entire time, coaching me, kicking my ass and trying to make love to me all at the same time. Coach Lu Jin Ming and the rest of the team helped and encouraged me so much, and as always I am indebted to them.
  My time in Shi Yan and Wudang Shan was absolutely incredible. There were over 2000 competitors from around the world competing, and The competition ceremonies themselves were breathtaking. It was like a second olympics just for us hahaha. After I competed and I received the medal, I was literaly in heaven for the remainder of the time. I got to spend quality time with my friends on the USA national wushu team, Collin and the Hong Kong team , as well as my Spartan brother, Byron Jacobs from south Africa (dude in the picture). Needless to say I had a great time kicking it with all my friends and flirting with the eastern european and south american girls
  After the Competition I hiked to the top of Wudang Shan (wudang mountain) with a fellow US team member before taking the train to Xi'an to watch the China National Wushu Competition. The team congratulated me for my success at the competition, and I got to tease Wu Di a lot because his brother became the world champion before he did! ahahahahaha!
  Needless to say the competition was awe insipring and I got to enjoy every moment of the day with my Best friend / Mountain of manly awesomeness Mark Moran, his awesome woman xiang xiang and my brother from another mother Zane Thomas.
  The Beijing guys perfomed very well, and my ugly lil brother Wu Di became the national spear champion.
  To keep a long story short (which I havent realy done so far) I ate, partyd, laughed, and had the best time ever with all my wonderful friends. When I gotg back to Beijing I was able to go clubbing with my good friends Chase and William. I got to dance with lots of beautiful girls, especialy one girl who... ill keep that story for another time
  Now Im back in the USA, working out hard, finishing my movies and getting ready for graduate school and spending qualityu time with my family.
  Life doesnt get much better than this. Love you all.
  Cheers,

  Greetings Shahaub enthusiasts :P
  Sorry its been a while since my last entry. Ive had lots of big things going on in my life, but be assured I am alive, not dead... ahahahahah *slaps self in the head*
  I am in China right now, preparing for the 3rd world traditional wushu championships. I am representing the US team this time around. Ill be competing in the next few days, so wish me luck.
  A solid piece of good news is that I have been accepted into graduate school for film and I will be beginning the masters program at San Francisco (Academy of Art University) in January, so I have begun running down the road towards stardom :D
  Me and John Nguyen's most recent project has been in the works for the past few months and is very near completion. We began an official independent movie production team called "Shahuyen" (a combination of Shahaub and Nguyen). The trailer for our short movie is available on Youtube, Vimeo and Facebook. Scheduled final release is the end of November.
  Here is a little taste for yall. Hope you enjoy.

  Much love,
  Shahaub

  Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoawQzguDY
  

  
  I have just completed production on a Wushu Music Video that Im using in my portfolio for grad school in film. This project could not have been done if not for the help and experience of Jon Nguyen, as well as the incredible talent and dedication of my fellow athletes Kenny Leu, Collin Lee and Cao Yue.
  I have dedicated this project to everyone out there that does wushu, so i hope yall enjoy it. I appreciate and welcome any questions, comments and/or criticism.
  This is the low quality YouTube version, so bare with me. Soon I will post a link to the high res version.
  ps: If partial male nudity offends you, you may not want to watch this video.
