Gui Ding Quan is probably "THE" most important free hand wushu form. Everybody in China who learns wushu, first learns the stances and the basic kicks, then "wu bu quan" ( 5 stances form ) and the first real-long-form us Gui Ding Quan ( basic form ). Some people say it's a kids form, others say it's just for modern wushu, but if you train in China, you have to learn this form, no matter what. It's like the only standard form every wushu person has to know. After that, most wushu people start learning weapons and practice freestyle forms and difficulties. Guiding means basic, and of coure there are other basics forms, like chang quan gui ding quan, but as I said, this one is the most important one.

This video shows how to do a wushu arm circle ( luan bi ) and an arm circle with floor slap ( luan bi pai di ). When you do an armcircle, keep your arms in one line and extend both elbows. Turn your upper body and your head, but keep your trunk in a vertical line ( don't bend or shift from the right to the left ). When you do the floor slap ( pai di ), stretch your flat stance first. Watch ( video ) how one hand slaps tha floor and the other one is extended backwards. Performed by Lu Peng Cheng from the Sang Jiang Wushu School. Coach: Wang Guang Ming ( wushu competition team ).

Mix some Double Whip Chain Basics

This video shows how you could mix some double whip chain basics before you start learning your first form. Whenever an intersection is too difficult, do a couple of disparate circles or move the whips as slow as possible. This is just an example, so you don't have to copy all the moves form this video. Learn the basics before you try to combine them.
