Thank you very much!

I hope to pubblish a new video soon!

You have very good kung fu. Nimble and precise footwork, and total control over such a massive weapon.

[Delroxorz]

I've never understood why the Chinese weapon forms prefer such a shaky, wobbly blade. I mean we've seen how brilliantly successful the katana and naginata are in their makeup with being stable and folded and all that other stuff...Why settle for floppy, brittle blades? Not saying I don't like wuxia.

@Delroxorz The blades of a practice weapon or demonstration weapon are usually aluminum or of weaker, cheaper material. One explanation is that in competitions, judges can hear whether the correct amount of force is used as well as good form. Another is cost, its just plain cheaper. Look up some more videos and you'll notice a significant difference between a blade that is made of aluminum compared to steel. Take a look at this video: watch?v=3t2DahSZyVg&feature=re­lated

@Delroxorz From what I understand, if made from hard steel, it will be considered as an weapon. And carrying a weapon the size of GuanDao is obviously illegal. Thus the flimsy wobbly thin metal.

[ApprenticeOfAnubis]

@Delroxorz real chinese blades are like any other, these are for show / art forms. also judges can tell the way it shakes on how well your controlling it aswell and the amount of power somone puts into it. alot easier than a hard steel blade wich could be hard to tell from a distance.

[Delroxorz]

@ApprenticeOfAnubis A bit late, but yes, I understand this now.

Très belle performance !

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Skillz.

[nazokungfu]

The first tenant you should learn when dealing with weapons is control. His "strikes"(when he stops and makes a "hard" motion with his dao) his timing is off and it seems almost if he is hesitating slightly before preforming the moves.

Josejin is a fag ass wu shu boy, that talk shit to every body. He has no clue what kung fu is, until one day,someone who does, kick the living shit out of this big mouth mexican bean eating puto.

[Sanningsministeriet]

learning to stop and use weapons like that is great training. Kwan daos have a tendency to weild you in the beginning. Lighter ones dont do as much, make that thing heavy.

[WildAnimalRule]

It is not kung fu. It's tai chi.

[gwailomex]

josejin go f.....k yourself , you little wu shu puto.

[uploador]

He is good, but his halabard is a toy.

[riopieboy]

Lil kids are not interested...

Few smacks would wake em up

[papageorgio123123]

hahah love how the music matches ur movements bud

[JCHendee]

Most people without solid experience in any neijiaquan don't understand speed and the greater purpose of Lu (framework, routine). Speed is the last of five attributes of focus, whether looking at Lu or Shi (shapes, forms, such as compose a Lu). Misorder of foci - Control, Precision, Power, Flow, Speed - leads one away from true internal develop. And the routines of neijiaquan about alterning body mechanic as much as or more than fighting. Without change, no success. The demo is excellent.

[taijifox]

WOW! I like it very much!

The music is perfect!

I hope that can inspire all those children!

[ninpomasta111]

Just thinking about the weight of the weapon, part of how you spin it around (especially at faster speeds) would have to be the weapon's own weight and momentum. Which means letting it swing and spin would generate lots of power, and if you sent it at full cutting speed, it would be very hard to stop. But if it were used, say, against a person on the battlefield, well then it would stop by running into the person and you wouldn't have to worry about stopping it on your own, as you do in training

[Saphfire2798]

even when done at cutting speed a proper form can look alot like a dance. You'd be amazed at the power behind whathe's doing.

[BalorCM2]

It is very difficult to do a pole arm form at full cutting speed. The momentum of the spinning cuts can throw you off on a sudden stop. it takes many, many hours of practice.

[SpiritsVisceral]

Wow! I wish I had that kind of focus and control of the blade. The cutting edge is always cutting, not an easy thing to achieve at all times! Thanks for posting this.

[taijihua]

Beautifull!!! Great!!!
