hey david perri taichi vs xing yi vs bagua which is good,effective in self defence,street fighting against multiple opponents in other word which of the three is better
Why the hesitation step (?) in the 2nd to last move between the long steps? I refer to the very small foot fall placed next to the other foot. This seems like a precarious moment, and it seems counter-productive to the flow of the movement.
The thing which makes steel springy is the heat treatment. The “how” will depend significantly on the application and the temper and composition of the spring alloy. Some alloy-temper combinations allow for a certain degree of cold working, such as automotive leaf springs, whereby the arch and tail flares may be done via cold working. On the other hand, one may have a high-temper spring whereby it must be annealed before shaping then heat treated again to return it to its proper temper. In general, Han swords were mainly used in the army and were not flexible because of the thick octahedral blade design. However, things changed afterward - the modern design we see today is a thinner and fencing-heavy design that always had a lighter, more flexible blade. Look at french florets; for example, the movements are also very similar. At this period, the sword was also more like a weapon for rich people and not for the general army - after han they mostly had spears and sabers. In my opinion, a semi-stiff practice blade has good characteristics of authentic Chinese swords in terms of weight balance and overall feel. If you go to China and take the 4000$ to 12000$ price range into your hand, you can see that blades are really optimized, very sharp, and thin. However, practicing with such a blade would be such a waste - I would be worried the whole time :) Also, if you wonder what a Han sword is - check my post here: internalwudangmartialarts.com/2016/06/08/han-dynasty-fundamentals-of-the-sword/
That all depended on the quality of the sword and the importance and wealth of its owner. Too many people forget neither the weapon nor the art make the man, but it is the man who enlivens both the art and the weapon. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the Sword of Goujian from the Spring and Autum Period circa 771-476 BCE. This weapon was deadly and flexible! But this was the sword of a Duke or a Prince. A commoners sword, a peasant soldiers sword would be absolutely crude by comparison. Stiff and rigid like some peoples thinking. You are right in that the "spring steel" used in Wushu today is a pathetic joke, useless in combat, but thats not its intention. The Sword used in this demonstration is of good quality. Not a cheap one used by every Wushu troup in China. Keep practice. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Calm down, don't speak so quickly. Give the viewer a chance to digest what you are saying and comprehend what you mean. Relax.. (Sword-Colloquial English pronounciation as sord. The uu is almost inaudible, in practical terms the W is silent.) Please bear in mind that form follows function, at least it should. In the case of martial arts there is performance art, health, meditative practice, and combat. The focus in the form for all of them is different. Your intention should guide your path. There have been hundreds of schools of thought on this subject. Even then they were divided still into five main schools. Including scholar sword, doctor sword, peasant sword, etc. Most sword styles in China followed the deeply complicated five element theory and those societal norms as to what was correct for a doctor as opposed to a warrior. By the Han Dynasty these were all dictated by Confucian thought, which was in turn had blended with Taoism, and Buddhism. In Taoist terms the most important point was to let the sword make the cut, not the man wielding it. For combat, despensing with preliminary conditioning sets, and moving naturally with the sword was the difference between life and death. Getting to this point can take easily twenty years of serious training. A study of Shaolin sword quickly bares out the differences in style. For those interested in combat, as opposed to performance art, the study of Myamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings is an indespensible must. Good luck, keep practicing.

I love the movements. It's as if the practitioner is actually dancing with the sword.
if the steps are done fast and fluidly, it's very deadly. 謝謝師父
thank you teacher for the video and for teaching

make sure you coordinate all steps with the hip. If your hip is already finished and then you step - the movement will not feel natural.
In ancient China, the blades weren't that flexible lol but perhaps in training they were
