Wushu isn't a 50 turn frames judo,where everything depends on an opener. Wushu is all about improvisation and comebacks.
Tripoding, and running away is lame stuff that you would want to avoid to earn real skills, and have a fair, enjoyable fight. Good form/sportsmanship means making comebacks whatever the score is, even if you're winning. It's good for your skills, and your reputation.
