Amongst all of his movements which look so effortless and smooth you can still feel a sense of ambition and discipline. During brief moments I don't see an old man, I see an emboldened youth determined to perfect the martial arts of his ancestors.

Awesome I'll be showing my sifu this one. I'm sure he'll enjoy it as he's also a chen tai chi practioner. Definately my favourite gung Fu weapon. And that was a graceful form. For such a furious weapon.

His root is solid, his frame is always there. This is a very solid form!
The modern guan dao as adopted by martial artists today usually weighs between 2 kg and 10 kg, while it is said that Guan Yu's original guan dao weighed between 50 and 100 kg. During the Qing dynasty some extraordinarily heavy versions of guan dao were made for use in military examinations: a candidate had to be able to wield a weapon weighing 80, 100, or 120 jin (48, 60 or 72 kg) in order to pass. The weight of Guan Yu's weapon was probably mis-estimated based on some of these examples.
