Kris Dayanti & Wushu: Routine Training Since PPKM, Now Competing in China Representing Indonesia

KD started her regular wushu training in 2021. She admitted to practicing wushu during the restrictions on outdoor activities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"I have indeed been studying for the last three months. So during the PPKM, I exercised for two hours a day. Until my skin burned," said Krisdayanti.

KD can perform every movement for two hours in each training session. The training is also done five times a week regularly and disciplined. KD admitted to being interested in Wushu because of its combination of movements, including incorporating music as accompaniment.

"First, I have been interested in this hobby for over a decade, some artist friends also train. And when I see wushu, the movements are indeed, as it is a martial art, it still has its art," said Krisdayanti via the YouTube channel VDVC Talk.

As a singer, Krisdayanti admits that she usually feels tired after performing five songs. However, after practicing wushu, she feels more secure and fluent because her breathing is more regulated.

"Health yes, burn calories yes, and our endurance is much better, our spontaneity is better, flexibility," said Krisdayanti.

Not only is KD actively training, but she also decided to dive into becoming a wushu athlete. No joke, she immediately competed in the international wushu championship in China representing Indonesia.

This wife of Raul Lemos is indeed no longer busy with political activities. She is no longer serving as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives and did not succeed in running for mayor of Batu.

Wushu is a martial arts sport that uses fans, staffs, or swords as its tools. Wushu features complete movements that involve the entire body, including running, jumping, punching, kicking, and even somersaults.
