I'm a practitioner of Chinese Swordsmanship as well as a Hemaist, Hutougou(Tiger Head Hooks Shuang Gou means "Twin/Double Hooks") we most likely a performance weapons meant for actors and stage performers there is very little historical basis on them. For the Martial assuming they were used, both on the battlefield and bandit (Late Qing Dynasty)raid they would have fought Dao(Chinese Saber) specify Niuwei and Yanling Dao, both specialized on the Cut instead of thrust so pairing it against a saber was pretty good for what it was meant for(Messers might have been closer though!)

The thing where you hook the tips together and swing it almost like a chain, that's a real move for those. Also, the guard and the "pommel" are sharpened, so they're good for getting close and punching with the guard and icepicking with the pommel.

[@Eric6761]

It's a hit or miss move, you either inflict damage or die

[@VideoTRChannel]

I have trained with these little bit before I am not expert of them by any means. And they require high skill but as far as I know about them. So if they blocked it will hopefully bounce back and you can catch if not you might loose the one of them yes. But there is a way of catching it and usually after the first 360 spin you catch them back. They very dangerous weapons for the user because how many extension blades on that weapon. They don’t recommend it for beginner students they usually practice by high level students or masters. I have cut myself so many times with training steel ones, fall and roll on the ground can’t even remember. Like I said I am or expert with them at all. A beginner if anything but.😊

I work in a metal fab shop with a big laser cutter. I could get a pair of these cut for you for about the cost of materials, in just about any thickness of sheet steel. There'd be no edge at all and we can bevel the points so they can't poke anybody. I'd charge about $50 plus materials plus shipping.

I really appreciate the offer, unfortunately without having them heat treated they wouldn't be sparring safe. But that would be a cool display piece 😁

[@Stop_Gooning]

@@SellswordArts oh yeah, that probably wouldn't work out then. We mostly work with A36 structural steel which is pretty low carbon. I'm not sure it would even take a heat treat

[@AmazingMrMe123]

My understanding is that double hookswords were sometimes used by law enforcement (more swat team level not regular cop stuff) and different kind of Dao or saber was one of the most likely weapons to be facing. I havent tested it out in sparting yet but in theory double hooks are supposed to be able to manage double sabers by tying up both of their weapons with one of yours and having the other free to attack. Not really plausible against saber and buckler. The spike at the bottom is really nice if your opponent is trying to get super close to you and helps protect the wrist against certain cuts. One of the biggest issues with the hooks is they arent a good everyday carry because their is no way to sheath the damn things so you have to just carry in your hand or have an awkward box atrapped to your side kinda like a bowcase. They dont hold up to polearms or twohanders for war so they wind up being a veeery niche weapon. Very useful in their niche, but inherently niche. There are also a bunch of different kinds. Some have a stabbing point and a smaller protrusion thats more picklike than hook like for example.

[@iticotaco5603]

That's bang on. Not all weapons are meant to be every-day carried, its fine to have an armory where you distribute specialty weapons like this, for those niche situations. These weapons are control monsters, way better than your edc baton and an unfair advantage against troublemakers using common weapons of a more dangerous variety than knives and fists. Swat is definitely the right analogy, how they show up to dangerous situations and bring beanbag shotguns and riot shields, rifles and snipers etc. Just more firepower than the average cop with a taser or handgun is going to leverage, because you never wage fair fights with criminals.

[@AmazingMrMe123]

@iticotaco5603 yeah exactly a likely "swat" type scenario for ye olde time China would be a house where you suspect people are planning a rebellion, kicking in the door with hookswords is great, you're in close quarters where a polearm could be awkward and there's a chance you might encounter someone in a suit of armor, the control aspect of the weapons are also great because you might want to control and subdue people rather than kill them because you probably have questions to ask them.

[@zombiewarrior225]

I've never seen anyone actually spar with hook swords. Only stage performances. They're really formidable weapons though even in the hands of someone untrained seemingly

There is a similar European weapon. The Gunterrodt Sword-Axe.

I noticed that he started using more flowy movement and incorporated arcs in his strikes later in the video unlike the first few times which involved thrusts like a rapier

[@cody-elijahwatson3416]

From what I was taught they were predominantly defensive weapons mostly aimed to disarm or disable opponents The whole point was to use the hooks to restrain or disarm an opponents blade while at range then coming in with the hand-guard/ax part of the blade to finish an opponent off that’s also why they were used usually in two

[@Stop_Gooning]

I've played around with a pair of dummy hook swords and I'm pretty sure I'd have gutted myself with real ones.

[@RealZeratul]

When fighting a single weapon, with these it's worth it to try to attack the weapon. If you manage to get in a cross block, you can immediately step in while the other person tries to pull out their weapon, and strike with the crescent cross guard or dagger pommel.

[@rafaelscorsatodasilvadepau2385]

[@mjb7015]

Purpleheart armory are brilliant, they also do custom designs if you have a unique idea that you want a plastic trainer for. They made my custom hybrid butterfly swords a few years ago, they were so great to work with and did an absolutely fantastic job.

[@toddellner5283]

I know of steel trainers that are relatively safe to train with, but they were custom made in China by "people who know people" in Beijing. Kind of hard to find. They weren't battlefield weapons - other weapons like the Dao, Miaodao, and Jian were more common . Like so much in Chinese martial arts most of their actual use is lost; only forms remain. Several wars over the last 130+ years notably the Opium Wars, the horrible Taiping Rebellion, Sino-French and Sino-Japanese wars, the Boxer Rebellion, Civil wars, the Japanese Occupation, mpre Civil war, and the decades-long suppression of Chinese martial arts by the Communists nearly wiped out the fighting martial arts in China. We are lucky to have as much left as we do. The style of CMA I study has forms for these and other traditional weapons, but it's mostly for training attributes and body mechanics. When the system was developed firearms were common, so the weapons taught as weapons are primarily the walking stick, the staff, and knives. Swords existed but weren't a factor on the battlefield or everyday life by that point.

[@thaddeusgigachaddeus2954]

The amount of hype I felt when this video dropped is immeasurable

[@TheMightyMcClaw]

While I'm overall less experienced in HEMA than these two gentlemen, I've spent quite a lot of time sparring with hook swords Some of these bouts can be seen on my own channel. Here are my takeaways: -They're absolutely right about the saber playing to the strengths of the hooks. Cuts are much easier to deal with than thrusts, as they give you a bigger opening to bind. Against something like a rapier, conversely, the hook swords are extremely hard to use, do to the ease of disengaging with a rapier. -The real star of the Hook Sword Show, IMHO, is not the hook; it's all that business by the crossguard, which make hook swords very very effective in a bind. The crescent is great for parrying and binding, and the dagger point is very effective once you've gotten into a bind. My typical strategy with the hook swords to wait for my opponent to cut, and try to use the opening to press into a bind where those shorter blades can be deployed. -Conversely, grabbing with the hook often works to your opponent's advantage - because the hook is on the end of the sword, you end up putting the end of your lever against the middle of your opponent's, and they have more control over your weapon than you have over theirs. -Where I have found the hook sneaky and useful is when your opponent is trying to escape the bind. If, for example I can get the middle part of he sword over my opponent's neck and shoulder, they're effectively trapped - if they press forward, they run into the crescent blade. If they retreat backward, they run into the hook. -The lack of a thrusting point is a huge weakness. However, I've seen some variants which had thrusting points emerging from the hook, and that may have been the more common version in the hook swords' heyday of the late Qing dynasty. That was a lot. Great video, and you guys have some of the most stylish jackets I've seen in HEMA.

[@Anthony_Ang3]

These are meant to control long weapons like spears and swords. Try to keep them in front of you to tangle with the hooks and guards and then close distance to punch using the sharpened guard more often. Also once you hook, twist it to “grasp” the opponent’s blade. You can also use the sharpened bottom of the hook swords ice pick style. We train these in Baguazhang.

[@artistpenguin5890]

I am SO EXITED FOR THIS

[@jasonking3466]

What would happen if you used 2 smaller swords against the 2 hook swords?

[@mazisigmond7508]

As a kung fu practitioner, you guys did pretty well with this. The hooks are meant to draw down the enemy's shield or weapon, while the other comes in for a strike. So yes, these weapons are meant to be used as a pair and not single. Also, yes, the 2 hooks do come together to form it into a whip. While the curved blade on the hand guard slices open the opponent, the footwork for this Is similar to that has the praying mantis style. Also these ones were too short.

[@edi9892]

I never used them, but I felt that you were under utilising two tactics: Both ends are essentially hooks. Use them! Try to trap a blade with them, or manipulate the opponents body with them. Whenever you have two short weapons and face a long weapon, seek the bind with one weapon and keep it until you can hit with the other.

I know it's usually whack but could dual wielding these be a place for one of them to be held in reverse grip? The sharpened handguard allows you to "punch," defensively the sharpened pommel lets you get a strong forward shanking motion, the hook is stowed out of the way so it doesn't hook your other blade while still being able to be 'swung' out in an admittedly restrictive range. Do you lose too much with the second blade being shortened or is there anything there worth messing around with?

[@AlrenClan]

I’d like to see longswords or other hema weapons also be in the olympics, because having just foil, épee and sabre feels a bit too limited for me.

It's too sporty. They don't like pure combat sports in the Olympics. Which is fine, the Olympics is corrupt and destroys whatever city they go to. Combat sports should do their own Olympics. It could be a purely martial competition, with mma, karate vs taekwondo, shaolin vs Krav Maga, all manner of armed combat from daggers to harnischfechten and everything in between, from any country. We could pit escrima against kungfu dao fighting and all kinds of combination fights. To hell with the Olympics.

[@gatorman5547]

It’s weird but, I can see a lot of merit on these. If I’m looking at this correctly, it could be used like a reverse kopesh. Kinda like a sword with a small axe head. I’d modify the practice swords to have a rounded notch in both of the swords to see if they would work better for the swinging purposes. Cause that was really intimidating. Maybe if the hooked part had one sloping forward and one backward would make it easier to not hit with the flat of the blade 🤷‍♂️ Another question is how difficult would it be to try and lock you opponent’s blade between the hooked ends and use the spiked pommels to jab the face of your opponent or the bladed guards to slice the opponent’s wrist? The first time you accidentally locked the blades, it also made me think of the goofy Batleth from Star Trek.

Saber and dagger isn't a thing? Is that just because you're thrusting less with a saber?

[@BibsideonStatue]

The way I've had it explained to me is because when Saber really started to get going, it was usually the side arm to a larger weapon or a gun, meaning most of the techniques were based on the context of having to draw it quickly. Drawing and using one weapon is a lot faster than two. Rapier and dagger doesnt have this problem because it was the main weapon and drawn before the fight/duel really got going. I might be wrong with this, because this is a retelling and is probably misremembered

[@disparatedesperado9317]

@BibsideonStatue so it's because nobody invented the style and technique and not because dagger interferes with saber in some way?

[@randomnickify]

Isn't this because saber is mostly cavalry weapon/sidearm? They were rather late to the game, footsoldiers would be using guns or something big enough to stop cavalry.

Brock, who has a few years of experience training in Italian Rapier, along with longsword and saber, was having a hard time using rapier against the hook-swords, but probably largely because of the intimidation factor, and Adam is quite intimidating with them. 😅 kzbin.infoEb9URfiW3Xg?feature=share You can also see the full video at; kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4mmXn5te7toZ5I
