Split Mountain & Chop Firewood - Ancient Shaolin Staff Stances
順歩劈山勢 "Split Mountain" and 庄家亂劈柴勢 "Chop Firewood" are two Shaolin Staff stances where you're suppose to hold it with your right hand forward, so that you can learn to swing and strike with your weapon.
The drawings of these 2 stances look largely similar, so what is the unique lessons that we can learn from each stance? This is my interpretation.

單刀法選 Chinese Long Saber's "Draw Sword Stance" 拔刀出鞘勢.
มุมมอง 7803 ปีที่แล้ว
Quick 1 min sharing from the 單刀法選 Chinese Long Saber DVD 1. You can see me teaching a newbie on how to perform the "Draw Sword" stance from the manual. The method of using the hips is based on the first stance in General Qi Jiguang's Fist Manual, "Casual Tuck Shirt" stance. Withdrawing your left hip to reveal the blade is one thing. But HOW you do it, is just as important. Most beginners will s...

Another short preview clip from the 單刀法選 Chinese Long Saber DVD Part 1 Extended Remake. This time, I teach a beginner on how to deflect a thrust with the "Bury Head Stance". Instinctively, everyone will be using their arms and hands to do it. But the more efficient way is to not move your hands and arms at all, and let your hips do the work. This will allow you to transit into a cut much more q...

敬徳倒拉鞭 - Recovering from a failed thrust.
มุมมอง 3853 ปีที่แล้ว
The 13th stance from the Shaolin Staff manual 少林棍法闡宗, is also to help you to recover from a failed single-handed thrust, and it's named as 敬徳倒拉鞭 (jing de dao la bian), which I've translated as the "Drag Whip" stance. "Jing De" is actually referring to the famous Tang General, 尉遲敬徳 Yuchi Jingde, who alongside Qin Shubao, are very commonly seen as 門神 (men shen), "Door Gods", pasted on the main ga...
孤鴈出群勢 Lone Goose Stance from Shaolin Staff 少林棍法闡宗

In the Shaolin Staff manual 少林棍法闡宗, there are 2 stances to help you to recover from a single-handed thrust. One of them is the Lone Goose stance 孤鴈出群勢. A single-handed thrust gives you an instantaneous and dramatic increase in reach, which can surprise your opponent and give them little time to react. This is why it's so effective. But in the event that your thrust fails, you need a way to reco...
Upwards Cut with a Chinese Jian
มุมมอง 5113 ปีที่แล้ว
Sharing another sparring clip, where I made 2 upwards cut with a single-handed Jian. Some key learning points: 1) The 1st cut was done with minimal hand or arm movements. Notice that my right hand stayed in the middle of my chest when I'm performing the 1st upwards cut. My body turns and directs the blade to my desired position, and not with my hands. 2) Stable footwork throughout the whole pro...
Long range Jian attack
มุมมอง 3703 ปีที่แล้ว
Sharing some learning points from a sparring practice match I had with a single-handed Jian. 1) Long distance stepping. Notice that when I initiated the attack, my right leg took a complete step forward, by shifting my body's weight in a controlled manner. In contrast, what we commonly see are people making quick, short, snappy & explosive footwork. This is probably because people instinctively...
拳經捷要 Mounted Scout and Twisted Single Whip

Harmonized Slash with Chinese Long Saber
มุมมอง 3233 ปีที่แล้ว
In Chinese martial arts, one of the most important concepts is the Six Harmonies, where your movements are harmonized and coordinated as one. It is difficult enough to perform during practice, and probably more so during sparring where there is more urgency required. In this short clip, I started with my left side forward. When I made my downward slash, notice a few things: 1) I did not swing m...
Long Saber - Importance of Consecutive Attacks Part 4

In this final part to the series, we look at how using overly brute force is actually a bad idea in a fight, in a realistic sense, and not just because you're showing courtesy and respect to your sparring partner. To showcase an example, I've used a sparring match that was held in China, between a Wudang swordsman and a 4th Dan Kendo fighter. Both were using synthetic sparring swords. Watch as ...

มุมมอง 3383 ปีที่แล้ว
In Part 2, we look at how to transit from a finished thrust, into a cut in the quickest manner possible, so that the enemy has lesser time to react to it. The key is to NOT think of swinging a cut, but to think of just projecting your energy forward in a straight line. As usual, it is important to coordinate your hands and sword movement with your footwork. Jack Chen Ancient Chinese Martial Art...

So refreshing to see a teacher focus on effective actual real movements. Not just flash and preformance art. To me, if you are gonna learn anything, even if just for a peaceful meditative hobby, you should learn the "real" thing, not some fake pretend-version.
Где такая мастерская? Where is this workshop?
Beautiful the way you manauver those two tonfas
When I was in the Marines in 1975! Always wanted one of these WW2 Da Dao 😳if we did go into the Middle East, which we did 😵💫but, was already out of the Corps 😬was into Choy Lee Fut/ Hung Gar at that point 🇺🇸

Brilliant

“有好事者, 得之朝鮮其勢法, 俱備固知中國失, 而求之四 商不獨西方之等韻, 日本之尙書也. 備載於左.” It is from Korea(朝鮮) and its name is Korean Swordmanship(朝鮮勢法). Why did you omit the correct name?

Hello, The Okinawa Den Bubishi (沖縄伝武備志・武備誌) The Okinawa Den Bubishi, an ancient and mysterious work, has been passed down through generations by martial arts masters, primarily in the field of karate. This book contains combat techniques, training methods, and philosophical principles drawn from various Chinese martial arts styles, particularly that of the White Crane. Prominent karate masters such as Matsumura Sōkon, Ankō Itosu, Chōjun Miyagi, Kenwa Mabuni, and Gichin Funakoshi possessed copies of this work and enriched it with their own experiences over time. Reserved for advanced students and the closest disciples of the masters, this enigmatic book is divided into various sections covering breathing techniques, body strengthening exercises, methods of attack and defense, principles of traditional medicine, as well as excerpts from texts related to Chinese military strategy. The Bubishi is encrypted to preserve its esoteric content and prevent outsiders from accessing it. The author revealed the decryption key for this enigmatic book after meticulous analysis that surprised and amazed both Chinese and Japanese researchers. It appears from this study that the Bubishi is encrypted using Vedic mathematics. This discovery sheds new light on the understanding of the content of this hermetic work. th-cam.com/video/OIg0sBpWgQo/w-d-xo.html
Excellent, excellent, excellent research and presentation!!!
Miaodao is the modern derivation of the Changdao in the past. Miaodao sword is pipe backed type sword which is considerably different from Changdao or Dandao in the past. MIaodao as we know today using Pipe backed type sword was not yet known, the construction of Changdao in the past reflected more of the practical battlefield use. While Miaodao of today is much more modern rather than classical. However the best part of this Miaodao Master is teaching using the blunt non flimsy sword. Using flimsy sword in WUshu world is very bad enough, should stop in order truly practising real classical swordmanship

I like a lot your work and the way you interpret these drawings. I've been trying to interpret the staff manual. Could u do a video of the solo sequences that it has please?
Do you have any video showcasing real combat of Zhan Ma dao? It's ridiculously difficult to find
This is amazing. Few teachers are like this one. Where is this school?
The WWII period Dadao weren't built for sword fighting, the idea was to simply to look intimidating and the psychological warfare of decapitating captured enemies. Outside of the skirmish between the Kwang-Tung Army and the Japanese Imperial Army in 1937, swords had become secondary weapons (in truth, swords/sabers have always been secondary weapons, even to spears and halberds). The sad thing is the resisting Chinese needed more ammunition, but the brass just kept sending more dadao. I'm not sure if it was a lack of resources, munitions workers, or what the reason was they kept sending swords instead of bullets.
It was made of low quality metal that couldn't be used for firearms. It was most likely made by modifying farm tools which is probably why. It was the only weapon many northern soldiers had.
Been studying Qi Jiguang's manuals for the last couple years, and cutting mats and bamboo with properly weighted miaodao and changdao. Indeed, Chinese Swordmanship is growing rapidly. ⚔
Do you know of any good English translations of his manuals? I've been looking at Chaoxian Shifa and Dandao Faxuan primarily at the current moment, but am lacking anything that I can understand for single-handed, among other things.
@@DarkwarriorJ I don't know of a direct translation atm, but I've been working with my colleague Keith Seeley (Scholar-General), to determine the meanings of the characters and illustrations; Keith has the language and history, whilst my education in both Japanese & Chinese swordsmanship, brought together, we were able to not only identify the instructional character's meanings, but even tested it in the school with live miaodao vs. spear. If/When a translation becomes available, it's definitely something I'll report on my channel. ⚔️
@@saberserpent1134 I'll be looking forward to that! I've been watching some of Scholar-General's stuff; his interpretation of the saber-and-shield as well as the Dandao Faxuan techniques make sense. Looking through Terra Prime Sword Lab's translation of the manual, one thing that struck me was that it lacked obvious offensive initiative-taking methods, leading me to wonder if offensive initiation is meant to be just the counterattack without waiting for the enemy's first response... or if the manual is meant to complement another manual on the Dandao. Certainly, the outro on that manual instructs us to be flexible and adapt the techniques as required! I have been working to decipher Chaoxian Shifa myself, building off Jack Chen and OldSwordPlayer's interpretations. Compared to you and Keith, I'm unqualified - I don't have a martial arts background, and my language and history background consists of readings online + family background. However, I recently had a breakthrough in interpretation which made every technique seemingly work and have a clear purpose vis a vis each other, and I hope to verify it in sparring with my friends once weather permits. The breakthrough insight was thanks to the comments on Yu Dayou's footwork in the Jian Jing in this article link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-19-2037-0_12 . The specific comment was "In a similar vein, Yu Dayou states in Jianjing that when using a hafted weapon, including a long two-handed sword, one should keep “the front leg bent and the left leg extended (Yu).”". I haven't had the opportunity to read a good translation of the Jian Jing and verify this interpretation yet, but it worked very well in utilization. With a strong forward foot weighting in the majority of techniques, the techniques just flow, can be very explosive, and make sense. Biomechanically, it is my current belief that the shuang shou jian of Chaoxian Shifa, and probably the changdao Dandao Faxuan as well, are primarily waist-powered from positions where we pivot around one foot or the other. I don't know if this can help in your own interpretations, or if you've already been operating with this knowledge!
Hey
The forms with true martial heritage always look more beautiful than those modern wushu interpretations. Real skills being displayed.
Essentials of "the fist", most stances are made for "swords and katanas"!? O-o
could you make a video about Hyakkidou-ri?
Beautiful
Aha, so THAT'S how it's supposed to work👍
This is really good, very inspiring
These things could have been pretty useful as bayonets. Would have allowed 18th century musketeers the option to slash and stab whenever they get into melee.
Since the names and drawings of technique are the same, it is definitely copying from one origin. However I think the techniques are originated from China as 1. These are typical Chinese naming style in Ming dynasty; 2. If is is oginated from Japan, it appears weird that the name of technique are sorely in Chinese characters while the description is in Japanese. Thus it is more likely a Japanese translation of Chinese techniques. For the query that why the Japanese version appears to be earlier, I think the reasons may be: 1. The book was written later but claimed that the author is a famous historical character; 2. Even the original book was written earlier, new contents might be included when people are recopying the book.
Why are those swords so floppy? Are the historical ones more rigid?
This is priceless cultural heritage. Thank you for the subtitles!
This was fantastic! Really enjoyed it!
I've got this recommended after watching Yakuza ishin
this is definitely my favorite Chinese weapon besides jian. not only the looks of sword that similar to my favorite Japanese swords, the katana and odachi. but its techniques as well. for jian practitioners, they perform the techniques in calm and gorgeous way. but miao dao. as you see. 2:09, 2:14-2:33 , 2:35, 2:52, 3:05 , 3:50 4:09, 4:29, 4:37-4:57, 5:52-6:20, 6:21 they performed the techniques in aggressive way. you can feels the the seriousness, the fury of practitioners. like their blood are boiling. and ready to stab someone to death. totally badass style!!
Where did you buy this? If you use your right hand on the back of the sword, palm against the back, you can parry with it and slice using both hands to have better control. Alternating between blocks and two handed swings.
More talking
Oh I got recommended after watching Fgo Okita xD

Great video. I'm seeing such ridiculous stuff in HEMA, which is reconstructed from unreliable medieval manuals and only tested against other amateurs reconstructing from unreliable medieval manuals. (Compare to Yu Chenghui. Professional European fight choreographers at last understand the real art, even if their body mechanics are inferior to the Chinese system.) Because most are amateurs, they think about making the strike only, and don't realize that protecting your body with the sword is most important. I was well trained in the Chinese system, and use techniques similar to the teacher in this video. No nonsense, no messing around. Swords are dangerous! (imho, the instructor in this video could take most fencers on the planet with a sturdy rod, just like my teacher. This is the real art.)
Small note: I'm now researching Chinese longsword and finding the observation that basic techniques derive from rod technique to be sound. (This was a subject of the fairly recent film "Sword Identity", starring the only real wudang fencer in movies, Yu Chenghui.) I was able to do spar effectively using longsword techniques with no experience on that weapon. What I did have was training as rigorous and correct as what is shown in this video, over decades with a recognized master.
Hema is limited in the martial arts battlefield combat. Too safe.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique Sure, but traditional wudang is far better for multii-opponent (battlefield) and we can teach the body mechanics to anyone. Chinese longsword goes back to at least the Han dynasty, and Yu Chenghui was an celebrated wudang sword master before he reconstructed the Chinese longsword. I don't even knw who the instructor in this vid is, but I know he's the real deal. Guessing Wing Chun based on how he uses his waist. Beginners never realize it's all about the counter, and, when done correctly, you only need to "show" the cut or thrust-there's no question about who would win. Cutting is significantly easier-just practice each one "a thousand thousand times" literally and you don't have to worry about your ability to cut.
