Double Handed Sabre - BFS Form

Playing the “Miao Dao First Road” in woodland in West London.
The Miao Dao is a Chinese two-handed sabre of the Republican era. “Miao” literally means “Grain Leaf”, referring to a likeness between the weapon’s narrow blade and an actual grain leaf. Miao Dao therefore means Grain Leaf Sabre. The Miao Dao can vary in specification, this particular version being 136cm in length.
When it comes to fierceness, the Miao Dao has no equal. Wielded with one hand or both, combining the characteristics of both sabre and spear into one, it is not hard to see why this versatile weapon was unrivalled on the battlefield. The movements of the Miao Dao are fluent yet compact, with the body supplying power to the weapon, while the waist steers the blade in its motions. An attack is always wrapped inside a defensive technique, while a defensive movement immediately transforms into an attack. Its interlinking movements and rapid evading footwork makes the Miao Dao wielder an unpredictable foe. The Miao Dao is truly a great treasure within the Chinese martial arts world and also an invaluable part of Chinese history and culture.
