Nice! If you only need 1 hand two use a sword, why not use two? Great demonstration of Dao techniques. Judging by the music, I guess this demonstration took place in Japan.
darkjoepie FIRST if we have to be honest Kung fu was started by an Indian Prince. SECOND it takes a true master to use the Chinese marshal arts in real life. Cuz most ppl like this sap here just do flashy stuff without a gram of focus and then get slaped across the face by a guy who has actually fought and has experience in fighting.
you cannot be sure that he does not train in a traditional style as well as this. like myself he may do more than one style so you should not just asume and insult others.
Perhaps but ive always considered chinese marshal arts inferior except for the long sword. That cuts ur wrists bad. Anyway a good strong Katana blade can cut though both broad swords and this dude's head when wielded by the right person.
yes but the straight sword is lighter and reaches the opponent faster than with a katana. I train in various styles so i have come to the realization that it is not the weapon but the wielder who wins the match. Not all people of a specific style are at the same skill level, so you cannot judge based on style or weapon.
show me proof that a real katana can cut through a real dao, or even a machete. Seriously, I've looked for proof and can not find it anywhere. I am told it is nearly impossible.
I watched the videos and none of them show a katana splitting another sword. Folded metal will not easily cut through other folded metal, it just don't work that way. My father is a metal worker and I am a swordplay practitioner. I have not seen in my research a case of a sword being split by another. I have seen a skilled Chinese jian user completely dominate skilled katana users though. I like both weapons myself but I find the jian to be better for swordplay, the katana better against armour.
Well said Aetherus7. In fact, this question of on one sword splitting another was put to test on the TV show "Myth Busters" and proven untrue. The only "sword" the katana could split under super human strength was a cheap stainless steel replica.
to break another sword is EXTREMELY difficult in reality.
the thing is, it's all about the guy using the weapon, not the weapon itself. Sure, different weapons have different attributes and must be used differently to be fully effective. But at the core, it's not about the weapon style, it's about the guy behind the weapon.
@elliott20 It's also about how crappily the sword was made to start with. I mean, if it's a really crappy sword, it'll break. If it's not crappy (which it shouldn't be unless either the sword is supposed to break or the swordmaker sucks) it won't break for a very long time. Other than that, I agree with you entirely.
Funny how the majority of the other arts can not move as fluid or quick as the Chinese stylists either. Movement and technique is a big part of a real fight, that 1-2 hi-yaa karate stuff don't cut it... Modern wushu on it's own is not based on combat either of course.
Although these swords are fake, chinese broadswords (daos) come in various forms. Most daos are made very, very light and flexible. These swords aren't meant for fighting other weapons, they are designed to cut and slash as quickly as possible. They are designed more for fighting an unarmed opponent.
good video... but why the opening song of Kiddy Grade? O.O

Not bad choreography, questionable song though. Even if it IS an anime convention.

Chinese martial artists think they're so good and clever, until they fight someone who actually knows martial arts themselves.
Then they look all funny lying face first in the dirt

its funny how all other asian based martial arts borrowed and copied from Chinese Martial Arts, paticularly those from Japan, Korea, etc.
Now thats funny.

They don't use actual swords for these performances.
Especially if it's an anime convention.

That's what I thought. The ribbon on the end probably weighs more than the sword, hehe.

Anime convention. They'd need a fake sword to do the unrealistic anime speed.
