Reverse Grip Techniques for Chang Dao - Chinese Long Saber - 明御林軍長刀

In this video we look at three particular techniques for the Chinese long sword of the Ming dynasty, from the book Dan Dao Fa Xuan 單刀法選 by Cheng Zongyou 程宗猷 These techniques may not have been in the first edition, but were included in the later updated version with an addendum. I want to emphasize that this would not be a standard grip, but an available grip with some techniques if the moment should call for.
