People often don't realize that the dao is a close-range weapon: most of the techniques are designed to redirect the opponent's weapon past the swordsman, who then is verymuch inside the other's reach. The gim is a longer-range sword.
An excellent vid for application of these sword techniques is the sword vs spear fight from the beginning of Drunken Master 2. It's online -- look it up.
Yes,...when the sword passes over the shoulder & behind the back it is used as a rolling-block or re-direction of the opponent's weapon. If you watch some two-person weapon routines you might be able to see it in action. It's pretty efficient.
It was great, I thiking is not important, if his dao hit the ground, each moven was perfect, sifu Lee is a big represent of the tradicional long fist.
