Traditional Bagua Sword

More important is to show actual fencing with it.....forms are not the end of it, as they only develop certain attributes...Its no wonder that Chinese martial arts fail in MMA...most are only concerned with dance forms and not application.

You are right and wrong. Because the goals of training are different, the training methods are different.

You have a point, but at the same time "fencing" and MMA are sports. And because they're sports you see a lot of back and forth and risky exchanges. In real world weapons fighting, it's more like a quick clash, and someone dies. This is why form work was emphasized so much by old masters. With a 3 foot long bladed weapon, one quick slice could critically injure you or your opponent. Thus you need to get your body positioning exactly right. But yes, ideally, form should be a lead up to application and performance.

Seriously? That style of clothing didn't exist in the days of black and white film........with the lines running down the frames?....Is that an "Adidas" logo on the pants? Come on guys!...😄😄😄😒

Hahaha, you are right. Adidas pants. I used retro background style instead of real colour.😄😄
