Caterpillar or inch worm style sound like they would fit you best.

Perhaps you meant meters not centimeters? But hey I'm just an American this ain't my measuring stick.

The smaller you are the more ease you will enjoy. You will be fast and very dynamic!

So you're 1.86 m? That is 6 foot 1, so you are quite tall. Wushu is generally harder for tall people but there are good tall people as well, like Anis.

Thank you all!
Anis is not tall, he is 5.10in and its 177cm. Maybe is more good tall people who is good in martial arts?

Oh really, Anis is only 5 foot 10? I'm sorry! I have a friend who does tricking/freerunning, which has similar movements in wushu, and he can do lots of difficult moves. However, it did take him way longer to learn than my shorter friends who do tricking/freerunning...

actually height has advantages and disadvantages.
it's easy to cross a distance while an ordinary person is a little hard. but it's hard for you to build body structure,for your long hands and long legs.
and so on...
it depends on your hard working at all
