This is a demonstration of Chi Sao, (Sticky Hands) with swords. Chinese Twin Hook Swords VS. A Single Tai Chi Sword. This is an exercise in sensitivity to get used to a moving opponent and to feel the pressure of the contact with the swords. The Tai Chi sword is not sharp, the hook swords are sharp, so we are very careful. We are not fighting, we are not sparring. This is a slow sensitivity exercise. It is not choreographed.
We are trained Martial Artists with 30 years experience each. So don't do this at home.

  • it's pretty obvious that this is improvised, and that neither of you have any weapon experience at all.

  • It is improvised, it is not a kata. it is an exercise, not a set technique. So it is not "setup" or choreographed. So it does not look polished, and crisp and sharp. Gee,that is like a real situation where you have to adapt on the fly. How Bruce Lee. I had to direct my friend as I did not want to get out of camera shot, or block the view, (generally we circle each other), so I had him go back around the other way. I have been doing weapons for 37 years. The video looks amatuerish, because it is.

  • Part 3,

    This is a practice exercise. Not really for matches.

    We slowed down for the camera. My friend (orange), and I have been doing this for 15 or so years. So in reality we do go faster.

    We wanted people to see the exercise, and the technique involved.

    Have fun , BUT BEEEEE SAFE!

  • looks pretty fun actually,should use a bokken and maybe some allongated wooden kamas to practice full speed and avoid serious injury.

  • Part 2

    Sticks slide very quickly and are harder to control close in, and have no hand guard. Sai, kama, hook each other so you end locked up, and then you kick !

    Knife, and tonfa, slip and are too close.

    If you want to go faster, harder, use safety weapons, and PAD UP!

    Wooden weapons can bust a lip, or poke an eye. So FOAM weapons, and still use hand and body/head gear.
