Interesting. As soon as I can order this: www.amazon.com/Complete-Taiji-Dao-Chinese-Saber/dp/1583942270/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263210635&sr=8-1 and have time to expand my practice - I might start posting some vids on the basic techniques. I already practice the 13 saber form but extracting the martial application is sometimes easier said than done.

Does the YMAA use the 13 saber form or have they adapted the Wu style longform for saber/broadsword?

Resurrecting an old thread here, I hope I didn't screw up but I ordered
www.ymaa.com/publishing/DVD/external/saber_fundamental_training
and
www.ymaa.com/publishing/DVD/external/shaolin_saber_basic_sequences
plus a nifty wooden dao from Sword N Armory. Once the sword fund recharges I'll likely pick up the Hanwei Kung Fu Broadsword from Wiwingti for bottle cutting, either that or save up for a custom from Jin Shi. I really need to look into how much that would cost, I just hate to bug Garrett about it unless I know for sure I'm going to buy and I won't know for sure until I know what it's going to cost. Catch 22,

According to the website he does, are those acceptable for a guy who just wants to cut some bottles? It's a pretty nice looking ox tail dao and the price isn't bad. I gather if I wanted it sexed up some I could get it customized for a price...Starting with that as a base a custom might not be so out of reach as I've been thinking. I like this idea...

As far as I know, if Garrett's people made it, it's functional. A leftover production piece should slay those bottles just fine.

It's not like you're wanting the custom Lundemo saber I've been plotting. (I was hoping to get it off my tax refund, but my money has to go other directions this year.)

Sirtre, sorry I forgot to PM you about that back then, but I might yet. I know, there's an application to "Step to seven stars and ride the tiger" which is the opening movement to the 13 saber form, but I don't really know the true application.

Edited to add: Does anyone know if I should have mentioned SBG? Does he offer a deal to forum members?

BTW, slackitude I posted a clip of myself doing the CMC 37 taiji hand form with my cane as a practice saber. It might give you some thoughts.

My cane is one of those big aluminum monsters, it's kind of a weapon in it's own right. Fortunately I have the wooden dao I bought for just these occasions,

Just don't try to do form with the collapsible style. I have a few bruises from that. My waster dao is actually quite short since I got it to resemble my machetes more than a dao, but it works.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
