Full Demo: 單刀法選 Chinese Longsword / Saber / Miao Dao

[kludge11]

Have you ever accidently farted while practicing? Did it smell like eggs or did it smell like ammonia?

[Madmanslitany]

Great video, always nice to see another fan of the miao dao. I've heard that modern practitioners of it are relatively rare outside of kung fu schools that didn't have a military man in their past at some point. Very interesting weapon, particularly with all the arguing about whether it was adopted from the wokou's katana/nodachi, or an evolution of the changdao, or both...

Ah. "Sword of the Stranger" music theme. An anime about a group Ming Dynasty warriors in Japan looking for the secret of immortality for the Ming Emperor. Very fitting indeed.

I was looking for some information on google about Ninja's/Shinobi's that was stuck in Korea after Japan retreated in 1598. After the death of Hideyoshi, Tokugawa didn't want Ninjas that was loyal to Hideyoshi back. He stranded them in Korea. Koreans incorporated their Ninjutsu.

Stumbled upon this, very cool.

Thank you =)

@EntranceDenied

The Ninja in Korea story was made up by Greg Park AKA Chosonninja the Korean who wants to be Ninja but hate Japanese. Tokugawa hired a lot of Ninjas from Iga and Koka before and after Sekigahara. The Koreans are trying to Koreanize Ninja because of popularity of Ninja. Just like they are Koreanizing Wushu outside of East Asia.

@BuffonSarutobi You can keep your word Ninja. Every country have their own shadow warrior. China and Korea as well. They just have different names. And last time I check, Japan still uses Kanji, which belongs to China. And guess what? Japanese learned Kanji from the Koreans. The writing system is one of many thing that your Koreans brothers shared with you. Still you go around spreading hate and separation. Your claim of others stealing Japanese culture is rather comical.

[TheMrsmooncakeno1]

@EntranceDenied What a ridiculous leap of logic you're arguing. And did ChosonNinja change Ninja's history again? Where's Sayaka's theory now? Did the word 'Ninja' exist in China and Korea? What's the definition of Ninja? According to your logic, Ninja existed in almost every countries.

@TheMrsmooncakeno1 I would like to take my time talking with you on a private message because the comment section is too limited.

@EntranceDenied

Greg!

[DragonOfQin]

@BuffonSarutobi Buffon you know there are Koreans that want to be related to Japanese? Look up Altaic race. LOL!

[seosaidh]

Hello? Jack? Bueller? Anyone?



[jackchn]

@seosaidh

Hi, yes? :)

[seosaidh]

@jackchn- I had asked the question about the plate at 3:00... basically, I don't understand why the sword is in the air at that point. I don't _think_ you demonstrated such a technique, but maybe I missed something.

There was some weirdness with the post originally, so I thought I'd best see if you were seeing anything I was posting.

[jackchn]

@seosaidh

Oh, that stance is when you throw the sword up, and catch it again.

It's included inside the form, but I think it's more of a flowery demonstration than for practical usage, thus I didn't bother to demo it. =)

[seosaidh]

@jackchn Kinda what I thought. But hey, in the German system we have a picture where the guy unscrews the pommel and throws it at his opponent- who am I to judge?

Rockin' soundtrack, BTW.

[jackchn]

@seosaidh

Thank you! =)

Is there a demo somewhere, showing how the pommel is unscrewed and thrown? :)

[TinkerWorkshop]

Good form.

Is the stepping supposed to be so heavy? Understand the heavy step when you are doing the cut, but movement seems a little stiff. I can understand if its a part of the form, though. =)

Sorry for bashing, mate. I speak from Kung Fu, where I was taught to step lightly.

[jackchn]

@TinkerWorkshop

Hello!

I'm not sure what you're referring to about stepping lightly or heavily.

In my training, I learn to move from the hips, and then the legs follow. =)

[ahighart]

I so admire and respect your work and vids and effort. Really good.

I applaud you and look forward to seeing more. Thank you very much!

[jackchn]

Thank you everyone =)
