Jade Dragon Kung Fu staff training intro.

In the Jade Dragon kung fu style, training in the 6ft staff is important for everyone from beginners up. This short video helps to explain why it is so fundamental. It includes a single application from one of many possible applications taken from the very first movement from the staff form done hand to hand.
Although the staff is a weapon in it's own right its main value lies in developing the strength and coordination of movement to be able to do hand to hand skills with power and fluidity. Every move with the staff has applications of attack and defence that are applied with a partner but without the staff. We first train with the staff to get the movements right then with a compliant partner to ensure the positions are good and the power is flowing correctly through the body then with a non compliant partner in various tactical scenarios to ensure the moves work for real in 'real time'.
Anyway here are some snippets of the form and a possible application.
