Here is a very interesting video on Chinese two handed sword. There are two parts, the first part is historical background. The second part is actually demonstration of 2 persons application and cutting bamboo. The key demonstrator and speaker is Sifu Scott Rodell. So if you are impatient and want to see action, forward the video to the 2nd half (5:00 minute mark).

PS: Forgot to give credit where credit is due. The video was posted by Garrett Chan of Jin Shi Trading Company.

I watched this the other day on Youtube by chance and while two-handed Chinese swords aren't really my thing, it is still a very interesting video to watch, even if just for the history, but seeing the cuts in action, both in steel and in practice, are very excellent, as well.

Storytellers and writers are all gods and goddesses, to a one. Musicians are their host, painters their scribes, and actors their saints--but all arts start with a story to tell.

It is in great contrast to many unrealistic and over fancied moves seen in modern ballet that is better known as "wushu."

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
