Kung Fu Butterfly Knives - Basic Techniques 蝴蝶双刀 - Choy Li Fut Kung Fu

In this video we look at the fundamental striking techniques with the kung fu butterfly knives in the Choy Li Fut system. It is important to note that for the sake of consistency, I am showing each technique from a forward press position. This means that the variables of combat are not included until it gets to the moment you have pressed on your opponent's weapons, then we can explore a number of follow up techniques. Also, note that some of the positions are more for training to develop stronger strikes through waist rotation and shoulder turning. If you plan on using these techniques in a sparring/fighting context, make sure to adapt them to your distance in relation to your opponent as well as your timing to ensure success.

Thank you for sharing

[@AndreeKielholtzMartialArts]

At first I have to say THANK YOU for sharing this wonderfully made video!! Well demonstrated, short and to the point explanations, easy to follow, made in a fun way to watch and want me to learn more. To put it short: an expert at work 🙇

[@usagi30000]

Nice video!!

[@allenng2471]

Good work, Sifu. Thanks.

[@SifuKuttel]

Thank you!!!

[@punisher7772]

Thank you for this video, I was looking for an instructional video on this weapon. I got some training butterfly swords. They are dull but they are heavy. Practicing continuous cuts, chops and stabs can be a good work out and strengthens the arms and hands.

[@GoshinJutsuNL]

Bonjour Sifu 🙏🏼 Super vidéo (couteaux papillons) belle dextérité 🙏🏼☯️

[@bsorryrthatsit7055]

I think this sifu had a good instructor/lineage.

[@Tito_Viera]

I have a mess in my martial arts weapon's folder. So the chinese really created the first bowie knife!! 🤯

[@OLDILAENDER]

Sifu - thanks for the video. One suggestion - you could need a sidekick for better demonstrating with a partner. But keep on with your great channel!

[@SifuKuttel]

It's true, that is one thing lacking. Hopefully in the near future I'll have a sidekick to show applications on.

[@SeanFranciscoYauSmith]

great video - where can I find examples of Choy Li Fut Butterfly Sword Forms?

[@SifuKuttel]

Here's a couple: This is Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong performing the Hung Sing Butterfly Knives Form for a documentary about different kung fu masters. It's at the Wah Lum Temple in Florida, if I'm not mistaken. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfGfpukopasoZI This one is from the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon when I visited in 2016: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGXGioiDpJqlb7s I have yet to film myself performing either of the two sets I know, but I am hoping to soon. There's still a few more videos like this on the way, then a short pattern for practice and then sometime after that I'll post a forms video of the set.

[@jacobharris954]

I am wing chun fan boy, I always thought butterfly knives are wing chun but it makes sense wing chun guys would incorapte it to deal with styles, so how many styles have the butterfly knives

[@SifuKuttel]

I can't say for certain but I have seen them in: Wing Chun, Choy Li Fut, Hung Gar, Southern Praying Mantis, Hung Fut, Mok Gar, Bak Mei, and Hakka styles.

[@stephennordlinger4112]

At very close range you can stab the attacker with the hand guard hook.

[@williamcoachg3228]

Actual your first premise is correct to make contact, but you established range and your connected in STRUCTURE! That does not allow forward action by opp👍🙏

link to the practice Butterfly swords

[@martijnbreken2443]

In your playlist for butterfly knives many videos are privated. Are they taken down?

[@SifuKuttel]

I'm surprised they show up in the playlist, they are videos that are scheduled to release over the next few months 😅

[@r.i.robikin]

Hi Sifu🤩 Congrats me😎 I'm Dulled 😕

[@stephennordlinger4112]

Right - When you cut a turkey on Thanksgiving you don’t hack at it. You drag the knife across the turkey and slice it.

[@dario.b3585]

I've been thinking on buying that swords for training, how the material feels to it?

[@SifuKuttel]

I picked these up from wish.com, and they are pretty good overall. The only issue I had was that the guards were too thick to put the blades together like a single blade. I had to cut the inside guards and handles so they would fit flat together and now they are great. If you are looking for a good wooden set I would recommend Little Raven Studios www.little-raven.com/products/bot_jaam_list

Xié xié

[@Ivanofkoshinkaisokanryu]

[@Ivanofkoshinkaisokanryu]

@@SifuKuttel done i got them just waiting for them to come in the mail

[@SifuKuttel]

@@Ivanofkoshinkaisokanryu AWESOME!!!!

[@levonevans7788]

I’m learning how use my wing chun swords from watching u

[@SifuKuttel]

Nice! Just know that there are going to be stylistic differences from the Choy Li Fut techniques I teach from Wing Chun, so hopefully you can be prepared and avoid any frustrations when you see Wing Chun techniques and principles that don't align with what I've taught.

[@levonevans7788]
