Yes, you are correct. These are lighter and shorter in comparison to what we use to practice.
To practice using light spears is doing a disfavor to yourself. One needs to train to use the right muscles of the back, and not the arms. And any training that involves weapons, muscle memory is easier to achieve if utilizing heavier weapons.
But my comment on big spear will stay...cos lot of people dunno why they practice big spear.
when you visit the rural area in china you dun see ppls sparring big spear, practice yes, not in the past...now i dunno ..wushu has become to commercialise.
Oh...we refer to martial art practicioner.
I was taught the big spear for other purposes....but definitely not for sparring with such a big spear.
You keep mentioning how a lot of people do not know why they practice giant spears. I would like to know your side of the explanation
In all fairness, I do not care what one person's recount of what people of China do or do not do. China is a huge place. There are MANY Chinese. To say that Chinese do or do not do whatever is a demonstration of ignorance. Not ALL Chinese practice the same
If you read the description of this video, you will know where this video is taken
Chinese starter with the Ge (戈)...and every weapon starts to evolves from there and the way they were fought detemines the design of the weapon. that's why 18 weapon there is no 定数。
Sorry to make this comment ..becos everytime i saw ppls sparring with big spears I cannot see the true application being applied by the practioner.I am not challenging you, just like to know ...how good is your 栏 枪？
Weapon evolution is usually determined by the evolution of armor that it has to penetrate to do damage. Afterall, a weapon that cannot pass a defense is useless. Therefore, to think that weapons evolve in a linear or branch fashion with a common origin is not correct.
Sorry, I do not know what 欄槍 is. If you are talking about 分 合, then you can see in 3rd video that I have, at 0:05, I did a 分. It sent the attacker's spear off to the side while I maintained center.
If you mean by small or big, there is only small. The smaller the better. That's basic universal martial arts concept.
Big circle is only achievable with arm or hip/waist movements. When we train spear, we attempt to use only the back and not the arm or body. It is to train OPEN and CLOSE of the body, not the circular motion of the arms and waist/hip.
First, the spear never hit my shin. My armor fell out of place. Watch again.
Second, I don't know who you are refering when you suggest "we." Since I do not know who you are.
Third, you are right, I don't see anyone fighting or walking around with such big spear. In fact, I don't see anyone walk around with ANY weapons other than policeman.
六合大槍?
點解會有有位 好似玩得怪怪地?

哦，因為我也是右撇子 所以蠻好奇的
那應該就是順手就好吧 :)

這二位都是左撇子嗎？還是本該左手在前？
我只拿過幾次槍，但是都右手在前才順手。
snoopyintw 2 years ago
您好。我不知左右撇有沒有差別。應該順手就好。我右手在後是因為我是右撇子，而扎槍時象出拳，所以右手在後。
而分合是身帶，所以手沒差。

槍法大多慣用手在後, 但是也有少數慣用手在前的, 例如洪門槍.

Where did yall get the traditional 9 foot staffs?
Rainfire11559 2 years ago
I only know where you can get them in Los Angeles, California, USA, or Vancouver BC, Canada.
You can also try Chinese book stores. Usually even if they do not carry it there, they should be able to point you in the right direction.
The material for the spear used in these videos is literally translated as "white wax stick"
Good luck.

@Rainfire11559 I got mine from Kuenway in Vancouver.

btw，the protective gears are awesome，where can i buy them??
balrogchoir 3 years ago
The protective gears are custom made and commissioned by Shifu Bill Hsi. The helmet is just a simple cheap motorcycle helmet bought in Taiwan.

pretty good skill，but the spear looks a bit light
how much does it weight??
balrogchoir 3 years ago
The spear is about 10 to 12 feet in length and weights about 4-5 lbs. The weight combined with the length of the spear is what make it heavy.
JonYuehKing 3 years ago
Thank you for telling me.
According to 手臂錄, your spear is just right in length for a standard "short spear"...but not heavy enough.
I think you'll need a heavier one as your strength grows.

since you have read this book, the reason for practicing big spear is in it!
We are not going for war...are not we?
My comment is on present practioners...yes the big spears were used in the early war time， everywhere in fact.
