@gregbreinholt Basically, use mostly diagonal slashes, and try to get up close where your opponent has less room to swing and lunge. If you're more used to sabre or epée technique, I would suggest a jian instead.

Well, generally, dao broadswords are longer than that, but anyway...
The black one was definitely better. The white guy seemed like he hadn't really done much training, and if he had, it would be fencing or something, because he seems to be using the dao like a sabre, same as the black guy. Also, his movements were wasteful, spinning it in his hand to much, while the rest of his body didn't really do anything useful, and he needs to work on footwork.
I am doing fencing now and it's great fun!

funniest moment in the whole video...MY LEG! LMAO

Definitely. They have the weight and balance of a "real" sword, but without having to wear full amour.
And they have swords to match most styles...
They even made me a custom 15" Lakonian (Shor Greek sword) at a great price, and reliably ship all round the world.

Was trying to post you a link.... but my post gets refused when I try.
Google "RSW sword" (Realistic Sparring Weapons)

oh thx. i saw it on the internet somewhere and thought it was all foam. would you recommend it over a wooden sparring sword?
-
Sorry, I meant to say I'm in black, so I'm not at all insulted :-)
The Dao is an RSW sword, with metal core, and padded to prevent damage.

Now that my currently dialup speed internet has let me watch the whole thing, I think you are both clearly practicers of sabre, particularly the black one, who used strictly sabre techniques even when using the dao, which is not really the best way to fight using one.

I'm using a Sabre... so Sabre techniques should be good!
Well spotted... I fenced for 10 years... so some Sabre experience :-)
I never fight with a Dao... so had no idea what works, and the balance is VERY different to the Sabre.
