jian sword was design to do many of things at the same time, it can pierce like spear, it could bend like whip, it could cut like a blade, its hard to use it .
I loved the part of "citizen of the world", you actually look really natural with the chinese martial arts! Hope to learn a lot from your videos. Regards from Mexico!
I'm shoshoni. The link for the first one section didn't pop up. I would like to learn it. Unless it is in the monthly program, but I didn't see it there.
Every time I watch these videos it always makes me want to train in person with him. I love martial arts but I've been out of it for atleast 2 years now. Great job :-)
That last move, where you point to your temple with your fingers! What's the basis for that? The Kung Fu sword, or jian, has the off hand forming fingers to be a metaphorical sword of it's own. That hand often moves parallel, or even opposite, of the actual sword, complimenting techniques in a complete fashion. So when you stab your metaphorical sword into your temple, that's pretty hilarious! There is no alternate way to interpret that, because it doesn't provide any function! However, the finger-sword idea is a common line of thought, but that doesn't mean it's fully accurate traditional thinking to the training. You don't have to view the off hand fingers as a metaphorical sword... but even then, it's still hilarious! The potential of the finger-sword metaphor theory would have fallen away if 'pointing it against your temple' existed in any jian form. There's no question that you made all of this up! On the topic of making the form up... you need to add more moves that use the wrist. It's not a broadsword. The sheer amount of straight-arm force-on-force techniques says a lot about your incoherence with the weapon.
I didn't catch your students name but you guys did really well Shifu jake, I have a question for you. When I went to your website I didn't find a way to enter your belt training program it looks like allot if fun. XD Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place, that happens to me allot. Anyway thank you for the vids!
+deepali khanna I think I saw some thing about Australia, and a few other places don't allow martial art weapons to be mailed there. But it may only be certain ones.
I got inspired to learn the straight sword from Avatar the Last Airbender Season 3 Episode 4: "Sokka's Master." I would recommend watching that, or some martial arts movies as mentioned in the video. And great job Joaqim (I hope I am spelling that right). :)
+Sanguis Dominus Against a sword? It wouldn't work. Take a look at some of those movements and imagine a spear that its deflecting instead. Looks a lot better then right? I would say its a kata designed more to teach movements against a spear rather than another sword. Especially the second deflect and cut. Thats something I always thought was lacking from what I've seen in European arts, is different weapon strategies.
você é praticamente um ninja você de veria fazer um filme de kung fu 👍👍👍👍 você é forte e poderoso 💪💪💪fassa o filme corra atrás disso🏃🏃🏃🏃até consegui eu acredito em você
I'm curious: what kung fu form do you use to fight a hoard of zombies? Clearly, the cross bow is the weapon of choice, but sticking with traditional Chinese weapons, what do you use? A long sword? Bow staff? Nunchaka? Keep in mind that you have to get a clear head shot with zombies; none of this going for nuts kind of shit (they just laugh at you). Preying matnis, monkey steals the peach, etc isn't going to work. I know there's a tendency to go for the chainsaw, but the loud noise only attracts more zombies, plus you're up Shit's Creek when you run out of gas.
Katana will never do you wrong. However I'd recommend using a bo staff with one modification. Simply shave the ends make them pointy like a double edged spike. Then add gripping in the center of the staff and you are ready. Ps make sure and carry a knife to constantly sharpen the staff every week or so.
Besides of the martial aspect, that's one beautiful form. It could easily be a dance move! EDIT: LOL after googling I see there is a sort of discipline that does exactly that: Sword Dancing. Pretty neat! ^_^

Nice work. I never understood systems that didn't want to train in weapons. It's not as if I'm attacked in the street I can tell a mugger "sorry i haven't done any stick and knife fighting, can we just do Gi grappling". I understand discipline first but a mix of real world stuff seems more practical.
It's more just the sensibilities of the modern world. Martial arts has become more of a sport than a way of defense or assassination. Nearly all martial arts have roots in weaponry whether it be karate or kung fu. Though we train in it to better oneself and to keep tradition alive but it really doesn't have much of a place in today's world
this is a passion to do this correctly you need to have love for martial arts you have to love the power and the peace and every step you do to learn need to excist listening your heart Jake Mace is a good exemple from passion have passion and you ll be better than you can imagine
+7dayspking you are totaly wrong martial arts excist not to fight but to create peace with your inimigs i can know that you dont do or barely know what martial arts are if you dont like it its ok no one have anything to do with that what jake mace did in this viedo its REAL martial marts when we say karate, we are just talking about karate when we say kong fu, we ae just talking about kong fu when we say taishi, we are just talking about taishi when we say fencing, we are just talking about fencing ... when we say martial arts we are talking about all of them karae, kong fu, taishi, fencing it all excist to make peace never, ever, use martial arts to rpove that your better, to show strenght or to attack someone beacuse you need to know how to defence not how you attack im a professional martial artist and i know what im saying, beacuse i have such a strong love for this if you dont, dont coment either
Raquel Simões You're wrong. NOTHING you mentioned there was a martial art. Those are sports arts/self defence and dancing. The term Martial arts is a European term and was used originally to refer to the battlefield and war. The term 'martial' meaning war or battlefield derives from the Roman god 'mars'....who is the god of war. Martial arts = arts of mars...or arts of the god of war. What you're talking about is neither martial arts not anything close to. An example of modern martial arts is what men are doing on the battlefield with rifles, with tanks and in close quarters. An example of more ancient martial arts would be historical fencing (either European, African, Asian or Middle Eastern.) If you practice these sports arts you are NOT a martial artist let alone a professional one. Those men who fight on the battlefield and risk their lives are professional martial artists/professional soldiers. I'm not trying to take away from these other arts nor to suggest one is better than the other. They all have different applications but they are not martial arts. Regardless the very premise and point of martial arts is to either defend one's homeland or to take land or resources from others, not exactly very nice but that is the reality of martial conflict...of war.
Look you havê no ideia of what i AM or do I AM a martial artist and i do hall th e stuff i said i do Ir you dont undarstand dont comment and let the people be what they are
I realise this is just a Kata, but I see can't see how any of this would be useful in actual combat, one on one or as part of a unit. I mean, generally, you're pretty much always going to have your opponent infront of you. Spinning around, facing the other direction, etc, would just leave you too open. I just see these stances and movements as far too vulnerable. For example, someone parrying/evading your attacks has plenty of opportunity here to counter or get in a good strike. Kneeling down, jumping, spinning, crossing your legs when you step - it all leaves you open. Especially holding the sword behind you. You've essentially completely shortened your threat range, your opponent now no longer has a blade to contend with to get to you. You can't parry, defend or attack, and even if they have a shorter weapon than you any half decent swordsman would be able to close the gap and get in a free, easy strike. I can appreciate it as an art form, and again I realise this is just a Kata, but for actual combat I'd much prefer European swordsmanship. It's not as flashy, but it works.
from what i have learned; you never cross your legs , and always keep a firm stance. only do what is necessary anything more is wasted or even dangerous movments.
+ocsolJAH Form is cross training. You must put your body in every position possible in order to strengthen it! This way a real fight is play time in terms of physical stress on the body! :)
"It is asked whether, in fact, the leader makes propaganda, or whether propaganda makes the leader. There is a widespread impression that a good press agent can puff up a nobody into a great man."
Agian Man, your conditioning and fitness training are really good but your forms ,,,,well not so good,,,and you call a Kung Fu form a Kata???? You shouldn't use the name Kung Fu ,,,,Jake Mace martial arts would be cool,,,but all that I have seen isn't authentic Kung fu...we have all heard about your teacher and how he made his system up after he came the the USA,,,Come on man,,,be real.
jian sword was design to do many of things at the same time, it can pierce like spear, it could bend like whip, it could cut like a blade, its hard to use it .
Jo, you are a fine example of a student, and how my hair looks before I comb it, into what looks like jake's hair
I loved the part of "citizen of the world", you actually look really natural with the chinese martial arts!
Hope to learn a lot from your videos.
Regards from Mexico!
you guys are great really lifts the spirits to see good training happening across the world.
AWESOME!!
Jake and Joachim

very good. your videos have helped me keep motivated in my own training as well as peaked my interest in yet another weapon.
chinese sword are so beautiful♡
I'm shoshoni.
The link for the first one section didn't pop up. I would like to learn it. Unless it is in the monthly program, but I didn't see it there.
Do you have any videos of sword sparing using this style?
Every time I watch these videos it always makes me want to train in person with him. I love martial arts but I've been out of it for atleast 2 years now. Great job :-)
I love the Jiàn! Great video, and special thanks to Jokim (sp? Sorry) for your participation in so many videos. They wouldn't be the same without you.
hey Jake can you perhaps make a video on the Buddha palm system as there is not much info on it ?
Is that the Hanwei Practical Tai Chi Sword? If so, how is it? It on my list of training swords.
What kind of Tai Chi sword are you using? Is it more rigid?
what is the meaning and purpose of the two fingers pointed?
hey jake will a katana work with this too ?
Love Your Videos Jake, Always Have And Always Will; Keep Up the Good Work!
And Great Job Jokums
Awesome! Can you do more on the Kung Fu fighting swords please?

Anyway thank you for the vids!

Hey jake how do you know Kung fu tai chi

+Michael William Webb Woo some other aussie martial artists ;)
+deepali khanna I think I saw some thing about Australia, and a few other places don't allow martial art weapons to be mailed there.
But it may only be certain ones.
I'm looking forward to be in your class of kunfu and taichi
hi Jake I want to learn swords I love them but I don't now what sword first jian our dao.
Typically the Dao is taught before the Jian. I hope that helps.
I got inspired to learn the straight sword from Avatar the Last Airbender Season 3 Episode 4: "Sokka's Master." I would recommend watching that, or some martial arts movies as mentioned in the video.
And great job Joaqim (I hope I am spelling that right). :)
Jake sword is good , but can you show us the nunchaku jump punch?!
does anyone know the name of this form/kata
i appriciate your time and effort, and very nice job! :D
Sir, my name is ASHISH,my question is that where you learned kung fu and tai chi
2 fingers not one, it is always 2...
Joke Mace
jian is great weapon I love it good video Jake
Amazing video where i can find a flexible bo staf like your in the europe, i can find it pelease help me ;)
He has a link for it in the description :-)
+Leif Espedal that link can not shipe to the europe
Oh, that sucks. Well, I know it's made of rattan. So maybe you could look up rattan bo-staff for sale online?
i tried but i only find in usa sites and they can not ship to europe
André Miranda www.martialartsmart.com/31s-6072.html
Try this website, it says they ship outside the U.S seems kinda expensive though.
+Sanguis Dominus Against a sword? It wouldn't work. Take a look at some of those movements and imagine a spear that its deflecting instead. Looks a lot better then right? I would say its a kata designed more to teach movements against a spear rather than another sword. Especially the second deflect and cut.
Thats something I always thought was lacking from what I've seen in European arts, is different weapon strategies.
awesome!! I am here living china to watch your videos. great experiences. I am living in xi'an!
is there any training centre in Kolkata, India?????
I can't believe he could perform that we'll just watching you twice. Awesome!!!

Great work
Bo staff results?!
I'm curious: what kung fu form do you use to fight a hoard of zombies? Clearly, the cross bow is the weapon of choice, but sticking with traditional Chinese weapons, what do you use? A long sword? Bow staff? Nunchaka? Keep in mind that you have to get a clear head shot with zombies; none of this going for nuts kind of shit (they just laugh at you). Preying matnis, monkey steals the peach, etc isn't going to work. I know there's a tendency to go for the chainsaw, but the loud noise only attracts more zombies, plus you're up Shit's Creek when you run out of gas.
Katana will never do you wrong. However I'd recommend using a bo staff with one modification. Simply shave the ends make them pointy like a double edged spike. Then add gripping in the center of the staff and you are ready. Ps make sure and carry a knife to constantly sharpen the staff every week or so.
Good job Jokem
Is there a difference between a Tai Yi sword and a Jian?
Yah but I saw a sword form from Wudang. They called it Tai Yi sword... not Tai Chi Sword...
Is that still a Jian?
+TheMidnightillusion
Ok so Tai Yi means "one handed sword form?"
+TheMidnightillusion
Ok thank you
very nice form
your assistant is very good!
Besides of the martial aspect, that's one beautiful form. It could easily be a dance move! EDIT: LOL after googling I see there is a sort of discipline that does exactly that: Sword Dancing. Pretty neat! ^_^
Very nice video, greetings from a viewer in Tucson.

nice job Joachim, keep it up :)
hell yea bro good work
Nice work. I never understood systems that didn't want to train in weapons.

Nice job keep it up
this is a passion
to do this correctly you need to have love for martial arts you have to love the power and the peace and every step you do to learn need to excist listening your heart
Jake Mace is a good exemple from passion
have passion and you ll be better than you can imagine
+Raquel Simões Martial arts = battlefield/war arts.....martial arts have nothing to do with peace....to be fair this isn't really martial arts.
+7dayspking you are totaly wrong
martial arts excist not to fight but to create peace with your inimigs
i can know that you dont do or barely know what martial arts are
if you dont like it its ok no one have anything to do with that
what jake mace did in this viedo its REAL martial marts
when we say karate, we are just talking about karate
when we say kong fu, we ae just talking about kong fu
when we say taishi, we are just talking about taishi
when we say fencing, we are just talking about fencing
...
when we say martial arts we are talking about all of them karae, kong fu, taishi, fencing
it all excist to make peace
never, ever, use martial arts to rpove that your better, to show strenght or to attack someone beacuse you need to know how to defence not how you attack
im a professional martial artist and i know what im saying, beacuse i have such a strong love for this
if you dont, dont coment either
