Wudang Sword basic drills | applications and free sparring | Frank Miller

[Xinsama]

I really liked the applicability of the techniques and their use in the sparring rather than resorting to wild slashes and sneaky stabs. Great to see from both practitioners.

The flickering video, however, hurt my eyes, and although stylish, the music was a little detracting. I did, however, like the costumes.

Very interesting. Nice to see arts kung fu motions put to practical application. Not a fan of the film grain affect, though. highly distracting.

@MicahCTheory

looks more "vintage" though. ;-)

[tengokunoshi]

Though you might interested in knowing the First European Full Contact Chinese Swordplay Tournament will be held May 28, '11 in Oldambt, Netherlands under the Traditional Chinese Sword League rules. They have been putting on National Tournaments in the US for 3 years. The event is being organized by the Dutch Jianfa Foundation, jianfa - nl.

@Baihu108

thank you for the very interessting information.

we probable intent to go there but as part of the audience.

[aporlarepublica]

Aren't those training swords too short?

[wudangjian]

@aporlarepublica

to put it in anotherway - of course there are better ones as these ones...

the advantages of these are, that they are cheap and you dont need extra special safty-equippement...

this is a lot better than those freaks from the Jianshu league. You guys at least are using the applications from the form. This is what i would consider "Chinese Swordsmanship"..although in a real bout its a different story. You need to beat those sword forms and applications into your bone marrow to be able to use it in a bout..just like in saber fencing lol. Beat 4-Cut the wrist!! lol

[wudangjian]

@ShuyuKoukin

yes you are right. the hardest goal is to internalize these applications from the forms.

during the trainings i always mention to try out these various techniques instead of

using "the safe ones", the "used to ones" , .. so they "won´t get hit".... but won´t go further ... ;-)

thanks for your comment

[taichicheng1]

they don't know how the technique of using sword as a weapon. It is totally a misinterpretation of the application.

[wudangjian]

hi hi hi. yes, of course the apps and the sparring would look like different with real chinese jians, no question! but that´s the only only point. the apps it self work pretty fine. we are looking forward to see from you some fine swordplay! ;-)

[KlausBeckEwerhardy]

Mmmh, das macht beim Zuschauen Spaß.

[wudangjian]

das macht super spass und powert echt gut aus. wenn du mal in köln sein solltest ... du bist herzlich eingeladen! ;-)

[KlausBeckEwerhardy]

Ich werde es im Hinterkopf behalten.
