I dont get it. I got confused because there are so many argues. Is this a chang dao? I thought its supposed to look like an odachi.

@sungyoproh This form is called "Chang Dao" Because its a long form (with a regular dao-size)

Chang means: Long

If you want to see a form with the long/big dao, search for "da dao"

The Chinese calls it "Da Dao" which means Big Sabre.

Hope this clarifies it for you :-)

What your holding is not a changdao or a Da Doa (im not sure if you're refering to the sword your holding or the actual swords) if you are refering to a chang dao then yea Akaki101 is correct thats not a chang dao and chang dao is different from a Dadao just so you know bro.

@hockeyfreak447 Yes thanks i know. But the long sabre form is part of the Tung family tai chi chuan (yang).

And its not the sword that is long, but the form. Hence Chang = Long. A "long" sabre is, referred to as big sabre = Da dao. ;-)

I smell homemade form and not much formal training. Seek out a trained Teacher. By training alone you will develop and reinforce bad habits.

@bowser8375

Well you smell wrong!

The long sabre form is part of the Tung family tai chi chuan (yang)

You are right though about, not much training. At that time when i made this video, i had just recently (in few days, at a seminar) learned this form.

I never did fancy/took weapons training serious, and after stopping with yang tai chi, i have forgotten the forms i had learned...

good job. Thanks for the video.

[hockeyfreak447]

Oh alright i get what your saying thx

[Akaki101]

Sorry, mate. I was looking for Chang Dao or Miao Dao videos. I thought Chang Dao was about a sword.

[skytte71]

No! and i never said it was. ;-)

The Form is "Chang", and refers to = "Long"

And by the way...

It is not: "Chang Dao" (long sabre)

But: "Da Dao" (big sabre)
