- 2000 years old ancient Chinese long saber technique which combines skills of sword, staff and spear. The name Miao Dao means "wheat sprout saber", presumably referring to a likeness between the weapon and a newly sprouted wheat. Miao Dao is a decedent version of a variety of ancient Chinese long sabers, such as the Han Long Saber and Cutting Horse Long Saber. Miao Dao Skills have been developed by martial artists of different dynasties to pass down form one, two and four to our time. Along with the One hand saber, Miao Dao was also used by some Chinese troops during the WWII to fight with Japanese army.
I never really knew this weapon existed until I came across a couple of films that had it showcase. And apparently it was designed to go up against the Japanese sword. My question is clearly it cannot clash with a Japanese sword. How would one fight against and defend it self versus the Japanese sword? Do you have any insight in regards to that? Have you seen or heard anything? And what’s your take on all of that? Why don’t you do a few videos testing that out? That would be awesome. Thank you for the demonstration. Jesus love you. Amen.
Like all other foreigners, the most urgent thing the world is going to do now is to do a China study. I don't know whether you are watch the Paris Olympic games recently, I think the world is still stupidly and arrogantly knowing nothing about China. This weapon's history is very long, which can date back to Han dynasty (202 BC - 9 AD, 25-220 AD) when Chinese soldier used two hand swords. The skills I used was unfortunately not dated back to that time. The so called Miao Dao skills are mainly from a book called Dan Dao Fa Xuan (~17th century). In the book, it mentioned some techniques are influenced by Japanese pirates who Chinese army captured from war. The Miao Dao skills practiced by the Chinese in our time all learnt the skills from a Chinese martial art coach called Guo changsheng (~20th century) who redeveloped the Dan Dao Fa Xuan into form 1, form 2, form 4. This is a high level overview of the history of this sword and techniques.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I don't know whether you practice any kind of martial art, so I am wondering why you think my skills cannot fight with a Japanese sword...This is very laughable. First, my sword is 40cm longer than Japanese katana, which means I can control the distance. I can touch you first before you touch me. Second, this sword has a much thicker body which means the cross section is a T shape like the one of the railway trail. There are techniques of both staff and spear embedded into the Miao Dao skills. The back of the sword can directly break a katana if I want. Last, Miao Dao skills need practitioner to have strong core strength which start from foot to waist. You are not using your arm, instead, you lead the sword from your waist. My sword is unsharpened, so I cannot show how I kill someone with this. In Chinese martial art, we don't enjoy hurting or killing others for fun like Japanese.
My channel has some daily practice videos for you to know whether I can fight with Japanese or not. By the way, my grandfather used this skills to kill Japanese army when they invaded us during WW2

You will find this interesting, sword can be used like a spear🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually I found many Japanese video about Miao Dao. They call it Miao Dao 乱取
Some moves here look really similar to the european montante! Goes to show how both fighting techniques focus on the best possible utility of such long blades.
Would like to learn Europe long sword in the future
Beautiful.
Out of curiosity, do you have any tecniques with a two handed jian?
You mean 双手剑 by 于成惠?No, I didn't have a chance to learn it.
Outstanding! Just what I was looking for
Just some basic skills. I will keep posting some practicing videos in my channel
That looks awesome. Thx for recording
Excellent work!
This is wonderful ! Thank you for sharing 🙏⭐️💫
Thank you for that. I still need to further improve my skills
Very nice! I learned this the same way you did. I like your way of doing it. Powerful!
What do you think of it? Do you think it is hard or not? Have you also compared with other sword skills?
Well I picked up the miao dao some years back and was always working drills from the yi and er lu forms, and first I learned si lu (four roads), as it is a simpler military form.
Only early last Summer did I finally string together yi lu. I like it alot. It wasn't too hard because of all the time I spent with this sword beforehand, but overall a very elegant form.
It has it's roots in the late Ming dandao manual I believe and the er lu was created later by Gou Chengsheng. Never did er lu. But got help with the first form by a student of his student.
Compared to other styles? Well this one uses lots of twisting. Hence why it is often taught alongside Pigua or Tongbei.
Postures are lower and twisted in general which makes it unique from others.
@@WhiteApeMA You sounds like very professional in it. You can make a video share online as well. I believe Form one (Yi lu) is bit more based on Ming Dynasty's manual, but form two (er lu) has more self development from Guo Changsheng
@@WhiteApeMA th-cam.com/video/Yrv0knNM1hU/w-d-xo.html I got a video of er lu as well. I just newly started learning it, so still needs to practice...Some techniques in er lu is same with Yi lu
Where do you start to learn and whom should I ask further?
Nice. Really fluid looking form. Seems pretty different from the one I learned. Be nice to try this form to add to the one I learned. Anyone any idea if there’s an instructional video for this form?
Really? How different is the one you learnt. Did you practiced the one call form four?
@@fredliu9722 I learned one called the four roads. It’s a really nice form but some parts of the one you do seem like others I’ve seen on TH-cam with some differences. I just really like the Miao Dao and like to see how others do it and try to learn the differences. This two forms seem a little more dynamic and a bit more intricate. Look really good 👍
@@gwynwilliams5161 th-cam.com/video/LXv6AIQyg_w/w-d-xo.html
There are some videos for you to learn
@@fredliu9722 that’s great. Really appreciate that. I’ve been trying to pick it up by slowing your form down. Thank you 👍
@@gwynwilliams5161 Really? That is many years ago, which is bit out of practice. I may record some new videos when I have time
first time seeing this sword form, awesome fred
Haha, thank you. I am still beginner. It is used to be very minority, but getting popular now
So Cool
This is wonderful! 🤩
rất hay 😀😃👍👍
That was awesome 👏 👏👏🤩
Where can I buy one of those??? 😮
Taobao, this is a unsharpened one for practice purpose, I never buy sharpened sword.
Who is the style of kung fu using the video ?.
If I told you I learned from online, do you believe?

@@fredliu9722 really not.
I just learnt by watching the video I shared with you
Perfect execution. And yes I know.
Still learning, happy for any criticism.
👍
Very nice! What's the name of this form?
苗刀一路
Gracious yet deadly.
Graceful?
Oh yeah, that's the word, I'm just not that good at English.
@@Fireball7428 Thanks, I am still new learner
@@fredliu9722 what a dick
Is it possible to do this with a 6 foot odachi. I would really love to see!
Good idea! Actually Miao Dao has Japanese Odachi blood dated back to 17th century. China faced some pirate issue during 16~17th century for the east coast. Some Japanese samurai were recruited by pirates and impressed Chinese army with their sword skills. Chinese army had to figure out how to deal with these Japanese Samurai by learning from them in the battle. There is a Chinese sword skill book in 17th century called Dan Dao Fa Xuan, which mean some practice of long sword skills, mentioned the skills comes from Japanese. The Miao Dao form one, which is what I did in the video, directly comes from this book, Dan Dao Fa Xuan. Chinese Martial artist, like Guo changsheng, in early 20th Century developed it into form two and form four which contains more and more Chinese practice and split from the Japanese sword system. When you hold Miao Dao, you feel it more like a staff or spear rather than an Odachi which is more curved. If you practice Miao Dao skills, you can use these skills in fight even though you only have a stick at your hand. Happy for further discussion.
th-cam.com/video/Yrv0knNM1hU/w-d-xo.html I also have a form two for demonstration. I learnt it very recently after the form one, so it still needs to be improved, by it contained more Chinese martial art skills rather than Odachi.
@@fredliu9722 Amazing thank you so much. Your skill is quite smooth. Keep up the great work. I never have had any real sword training but recently about a week ago I stumbled across Miao Dao and fell in love immediately with it's kung fu movements. I hope to be able these movements by watching your videos. Are you stationed in the united states by chance? Are you self taught from that book or have you had any training from a master?
@@fredliu9722 poor China dog
