sweet vid! nice and firm! is there any application for the movement where the saber is swung around the body?

[stevenjr518]

I think which moves are combined by many defensive moves

[gyffes]

People often don't realize that the dao is a close-range weapon: most of the techniques are designed to redirect the opponent's weapon past the swordsman, who then is verymuch inside the other's reach. The gim is a longer-range sword.

An excellent vid for application of these sword techniques is the sword vs spear fight from the beginning of Drunken Master 2. It's online -- look it up.

好！

Yes,...when the sword passes over the shoulder & behind the back it is used as a rolling-block or re-direction of the opponent's weapon. If you watch some two-person weapon routines you might be able to see it in action. It's pretty efficient.

this is not ba gua dao... it's more of daoshu.

I am glad that there are teachers in Taiwan,ROC preserving Traditional Chinese Martial Arts.

Keep it up!!
