Good video, thanks. Very instructive. Your training pole doesn't seem to get damaged when you hit it. You also hit a dummy arm. The camera doesn't show it, but it may be that the arm isn't damaged either. Question re: what is your pole made of and how is it mounted to the dummy? A video regarding your pole and how to train using it would be very useful. Thanks again for all your videos.
We were taught measuring for your personal the Bart Jaam Do is from the elbow tip to the end of your gripping hand. Meaning the sword is held in reverse ( which we never do in our lineage of Wing Chun for fight training) and the tip of the blade should not extend past the tip of your own elbow. Do you have any thought on this
I am not 100% sure, but i am 90% sure that we don't sharpen the entire blade. At the base of the Jian we leave it somewhat medium sharp but not razor sharp, that way it is more save for yourself. You never have to cut anyone at the base of the blade anyways, same for the Bart Cham Dao and most other Chinese bladed weapons are also only sharpen in certain areas. This can also be a personal preference, you can sharpen the base if you want to,, the Jian is made the same all over, but why sharpen it to razor sharp when you never use the base to cut.
@@TOMMYBOY6969 That's what I thought, but I got a talking to from people I respect and let the matter go. From a knowledge standpoint I am still fascinated and want to learn more, so thank you.
Butterfly swords have a wider and longer blade, and the D guard is fatter. Wing Chun people made it smaller so it can be hidden under your clothing, mostly rebels used Bart Cham Dao to fight against the government.
th-cam.com/video/TBkamoFwfNk/w-d-xo.html indicates Ip Ching uses the flip of the blade as in cup jarn. His handle, however, does not support that easily.
this channel is really underated ! gotta make this logical explanation more popular !!!
That's real in-depth knowledge...thank you Sifu
Great demonstration thank you
Nice video, Bart Jaam Do vs Staff is serious commitment.
14:30 nice job you just pointed out something that never made sense in the wing chun form. Tommy love your work sir :)
I like your approach. Thanks for sharing. 🫸🤛
Nice stuff 👍👍👍
Profound and deep insight into the art of wing chun

Good practical video, thanks! Do you know or practice "Hong gia quyen" (羅浮山 鴻 家拳)?
Sorry, no, i do not know this at all.
What kind of clothing are you wearing?

Yes, this is a good method of measurement for the length of the Bart Cham Dao.
awesome video
Very good!
Good video.
thanks
Great videos! Question for you, when it comes to the jian was the whole sword razor sharp or was the geometry varied, similar to European swords?

Tommy you think that wing chun made the first Bart Cham Dao?
Yes, it's not documented, but they just modified the Butterfly swords and made it smaller.
Butterfly swords are not Bart Cham Dao? Thanks for the quick response

@@TOMMYBOY6969 That just clarified a lot for me, thank you! Great videos by the way!!
