  • do you think it would be easier for a beginner to learn the short staff or broadsword?

    do you think you could post a video of you doing the yellow belt for for nothern shaolin kungfu?

    if you have time?

  • well I learned broad sword first, next weapon was the long staff. I think sword first is better because it teaches you to control a weapon in general. we don't have a short staff in our school nor do we have belts/belt colours.

see all

    hi guys, the sequence be 1. Fist set than 2.Dao (broadsword)then 3.Spear and Jin (strightsword)

  • Does anyone know the actual name of this form?

  • we dont learn broadsword a my school for 3 years, or untill you get 3rd brown sash, our first weapon in bo

  • super elementary

  • nice just as I learned it ,great video.

  • Nice, the broadsword form that i know its very close just a few differences.

  • Excuse me. But could you tell me the name of your style and maybe the lineage of your Sifu if you know it. I know the same form and I am trying to trace back the style. Also, do you know anything of the following fist forms: 8-step continous fist, The little Buddha fist, The Buddha palm, or The Mantis Fist?

  • My Sifu prefers to teach staff first because it builds one of the strongest concepts in kung fu: using the right and let hand simotaniously.

    He also teaches it first because the drills are great to help perfect your waist/hip rotation and torque.

  • One reason Broadsword is taught first is because it is a one handed weapon. Staff is a two handed weapon, so it will teach how to control each extremity over time.

  • My Sifu teaches Southern Staff first, because learning the staff provides a greater sense of self and your surroundings. It is also a great way to train your stances in a transitional sense.

    Nothern Broadsword is easier by far, but I believe that it is best to learn staff, though a harder weapon to control, first.
