KUNG FU MYTH BUSTER!! THE CHINESE BROADSWORD

[@jawarakf]

good 1 Greg, you're the first to post tutorial on sword fight for real street application. In Asia, gangsters/robbers would attack using machetes which is close to length of broadsword. when outnumbered it is ideal to seize a machete from 1 of them and sword techniques would help in taking out the rest of the machete wielding attackers. According to law, self defense is legal but try not to kill assailants. few cases here, slashing off attacker's hand, victim could still walk away from law but few cases where victims stabbed assailants to death landed in hot soup

[@wolfzwizdom]

Jay Son Wong i agree jay. no one is gonna want to fight after a Pi cut to the wrist, subjugation of the threat should be prioritized. tho i do still believe all techniques should be practiced with killing intent. i think the spirit of that is extremely important.

The more videos I see on this channel, the more I love it!

[@AuthenticShaolin]

HsinHao Wang thank u :-)

[@diphyllum8180]

Have you ever sparred with any HEMA practitioners? I'd be great to see Chinese broadsword against, say, Scottish broadsword, or Polish Szabla

[@KeytoKungFu]

I actually sparred with hema masters and beat them...

[@diphyllum8180]

The Kung Fu Channel Cool. Post a video some time, would be great to watch

[@KeytoKungFu]

Michael Vipperman I'll do a kung fu video about how to fight with broadswords against other weapons like spears or swords... There are only a few principles you have to use to increase the probability drastically to win the fight...anyway what style you use... its about having a "structure" something what you do every time in a fight to build the connection and bind the opponent to you that you can do techniques... or to use weapon indolence of the opponent swords... understanding that the most kung fu movements in forms are "full" drawn techniques... (in a form often you when you hit you do a full movement then the opponent is blocking) but the blocking you have to imagine and then its not the full movement like in a saber form... all things guys often forget... You have to see I won but teo years ago I also was NOT very good... I trained 2 weeks every day 1/2 hour for fun with the broadsword and won with the broadsword, daggers, and spear against all variations on the other side... I mean I won with double daggers vs a longsword without getting hit one time... BUT that was not because I am so good or what ever... I won because my opponents even didn't understood the principles above... we fought with larp weapons which have a much smaler weapon indolence then a real 1,5kg sword but it also worked... So I'll do some videos to show...

[@wolfzwizdom]

The Kung Fu Channel im a self taught practitioner of Chinese Broadsword ive been practicing dao evedy for 12 years so far. when you mention "weapons indolence" could you elaborate on that? are you reffering to the weight discrepancies between 2 opponents weapons?

[@hsinhaowang]

I know this is old, so forgive me for necroing a thread-- our group in Singapore trains with a HEMA group. Does wonders for our swordplay. It's helped shape our Dadao and Miao Dao practices.

[@ShaolinEd]

I love it! These videos just keep getting better, definitely a super cool one this week.

[@ajarciaga8864]

Thank you for this breakdown of Dao techniques and usage. This helps me better understand the Dao as a weapon and decipher the Tiliudao form

Great job

[@neaituppi7306]

The name of the channel initially made me wary, thinking it was another one saying how Kung Fu is largely not real. But you seem to know about it.

[@helenodea4128]

Love this ❤

[@AuthenticShaolin]

@helenodea4128 thank you

[@ronaldchin3239]

Dao are actually really heavy if you look at the historical swords. Are you able to use these techniques with proper dao? These practice swords look very light

[@AuthenticShaolin]

The sword I was using was a practice sword, but we do use heavier blades. Thanks for watching. 🙏

[@abra61]

Dear sir First I enjoying see your videos alot! Can you please describe the difference between your system and hong gar (that's what I learned)?

[@carlosdelgado1412]

Excellent advice! Take pride and ownership in everything you do!

[@Herowebcomics]

Man, that thing is some crazy stuff! I am not a big blade guy, but I can understand it's usefulness!

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Thank you. 🤙🤙🤙 The great thing about weapon practice is it can be dissected for open hand applications. Please subscribe and share. Thanks again

[@Herowebcomics]

@@AuthenticShaolin Your welcome!

[@goshen574]

Very good intro to the Chinese broadsword. I liked a few drills you showed 🙏👍

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Thank you🤙🤙🤙

[@goshen574]

What style do you guys study? I’m guessing by the nature of the sword it’s a southern style. Is it hung ga/hung gar or Choy lay fut

[@AuthenticShaolin]

We train in Northern Shaolin. Lohan Chuan. And long pei pai

[@Powerhuru]

WAIT HOLD UP! at 6:39 You know Pak Mei Kung Fu?

[@AuthenticShaolin]

I have learned a form from one of my Shifus but not my main style. The movement you seen there is a dragon style technique. Thanks for watching. Please share and subscribe. 🤙🤙🤙🤜

[@royrogers4497]

@@AuthenticShaolin Ah so you're the Long Ying Style I see, Pak Mei and Long Ying are known to be family styles

[@Master-AGN]

Sorry guys, you are out of your depth. The counter to your sword technique is 45° up stab through the spleen to heart. As the English military said in their campaigns against the Indians and Asians. Give the point of your sabre.

[@wolfzwizdom]

well if u read a lot of English accounts of eastern swordsmanship. keeping the opponenton the point was not a common thing and the benefited from this greatly. many eastern swordsmen seemed to have issues defending against the thrust.

[@adenyang4398]

I do remember some British accounts stating that Indian soldiers were susceptible to agile point play or feints. But haven't heard the same thing regarding the Chinese. In fact defending against thrusts (or any other polearms) is Chinese Daoshu's forte. No technique is inherently superior to another. Without sufficient force or speed, techniques are useless.

[@FoieGras]

We have that a 45deg stab as well. The counter to your counter lies in many forms. Be more specific. If that's all you have then YOU'RE the one out of your depth.
