Bagua Da Dao (Chinese chick rules with a BIG Sabre)

Notice the size of that Sabre!!!
Those of you that have tried, training Dao/sabre (Wushu) forms. And Bagua for that matter... Will better understand, just how skilled this girl, actually is! Impressive!!!

"Second! Either way is it very obvious, that this girl is at expert level! (no matter what material, the sword is made of!)"

I beg to differ. Though she is very skilled if she has never practised with real swords, as opposed to these aluminium ones, I doubt she would be an expert.

Historically acurate weapons handle quite differently than aluminium swords.

You are right about: "Historically acurate weapons handle quite differently than aluminium swords"... BUT! ;-)

One can be an expert in several terms, aspects, ways, meanings, views, levels...etc. Included different kinds of weapon-types no matter what the material is made of!

Therefor... Does your reply NOT change anything about, my earlier "statement"/reply.

but it's aluminum...I would really like to see CMA start using weapons with historical weight and balance instead of sheets of aluminum foil.

[skytte71]

but it´s aluminium... but but.. :-P

But what! So what!!!

First! There's a possibility that only the last third part of the sword, (the tip)is made of thin sheets of aluminium foil. (that is not unusual with a sword that size)

Second! Either way is it very obvious, that this girl is at expert level! (no matter what material, the sword is made of!)

Remember! That, it is not only the "correct"/traditional martial artist,

that are capable of showing expert skills, worth watching. :-)

@Meshelsidek

fuck you, your wrong. i had a long response composed for a 3 year old comment so just fuck off. if you knew anything about martial arts, particularly Ba Gua, you'd know this is a wushu version of bagua, and the knife used is for embellishment purposes only. Ba Gua actually makes the use of large, smithed blades easy to wield given the use of body weight, and dynamic motion to disperse the weight. So rather than using sheer muscle, which is still important, one uses the body to

Give me a break, you guys. It's a wushu tournament blade and she's probably doing her tournament performance form. Every time someone is all, "Oh I doubt she could handle a REAL sword!" it's just belittling her. Is there something wrong with practicing the art for its own sake or to compete in tournaments? No one trains for war with these styles anymore. So quit being jerkwads and give credit to the time and dedication this woman has put into her training.

The Baguazhang Broadsword that I have is over 5 feet tall and weighs just under 7 pounds. I doubt that the woman in this video can handle the Bagua Dao that I have, the way she plays with that exhibition (toy-like) Bagua Dao. My broadsword is the same model broadsword that He Jinbao is using in his video - do a YouTube search for "Nine Dragon Saber of Yin Style Bagua - 4th Section." The blade is thick spring steel, not that flimsy paper-thin stuff. She has good skill with a toy-like Bagua Dao.

@Meshelsidek this sword is not aluminium . it's spring steel

[LiutendantJack777]

@gic102 even if it's aluminium, it must weight at least 1 kg. the reason why she was able to move it so fast is in the way she handled the sword.

[icefiredarksector748]

I just can't get the hang of this thing, being more adept in the Katana. I mean is this sword real hard to master, or does it require specific techniques.
