What combat style would Guan Yu have used? Would it have been anything like this?

@jony1710 There's really no clear-cut answer on how Guan Yu fought. There's a lot of doubt these days as to weather he even used the weapon he's named for. Your best bet would be a reputable source of historical information specifically geared towards the martial arts.
