Single Hand Techniques with Ming Long Dao

In this video we look at four particular techniques from the Dan Dao Fa Xuan Ming Dynasty Manual for the two handed long sword. I have read three different translated versions of this manual, and there are excellent videos by Laoshi Scott M. Rodell @UCz0NUSnbgBjp0j4gBficTIw, The Scholar General @thescholar-general5975, and the Sword Lab Series from TLPA @TerraPrimeLightsaber One of the important things to keep in mind is that this is my movement translation (based on my martial arts experience) of a translation (from Ming Traditional Chinese to English) that was probably from a copy of a copy of the original manual, which is to say, differences are to be expected. My version is by no means the correct, or truest version, just my interpretation so take it for what it’s worth... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Learn Kung Fu from my Online Program! ● ► Exclusive Weekly Videos and Lessons on Patreon! ● Patreon: ► Get more updates and chat with me on IG! ● Instagram: @SifuBrianKuttel ► Check out my book: Monkey Movement (monkey kung fu) ●Amazon: 0:00 This is NOT a Katana?! 0:55 Single Handed Techniques Criteria 1:55 Technique #1 Receive Push Thrust 4:53 Technique #2 Open the Spear Single Thrust 7:31 Technique #3 Open the Spear Deliver a Cut 9:45 Technique #4 One Handed Shoulder Cut 13:15 Combined Techniques 15:56 Demonstration 16:06 Final Thoughts #kungfu #martialarts #choylifut #lkchen
