單刀法選 Chinese Longsword Ancient Techniques (17: Skyward, 18: Receive-Push)

http://www.chineselongsword.com/

This is an interpretation of the 17th and 18th stance from the ancient Chinese Longsword manual, 單刀法選 (Dan Dao Fa Xuan).

During the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese fought with the Japanese pirates.
This ancient manual was written and drawn during that period by 程宗猷 (Cheng Zong You), who learnt from 刘雲峰 (Liu Yun Feng). Liu, learnt Japanese swordsmanship, Kenjutsu, directly from the Japanese during that time.

This ancient manual teaches techniques using the 2-hand Longsword or saber, against the spear.

@gonefishingstudios This is not a japanese sword! Curved longswords were invented in han dynasty china (206 BCE – 220 CE) mainly as an anti calvary weapon. The sword is curved mainly to provide stability when slashing high speed targets. the japanese just happened to invent a sword that looks exactly the same 600 years later.

très belle vidéo pleine d'information. Et super musique !

Nice background music to this one too. After so many videos, I somehow can see the unique-ness of the 'leg movement' in these techniques, and can coincide, even slightly, to some Wushu movements too.
