This is extremely interesting, thank you very much for sharing. I have only trained in Korean systems, and it's a poorly kept secret that a lot of that comes from Japan. However, in this video I see a great deal of technique and detail I have either been taught or seen my teachers or seniors perform. The similarities vastly outnumber the differences, to a degree that it seems unlikely to be coincidence. Man, I won't get much sleep tonight.
Jon Arild Karlsen Having studied Japanese sword word, starting with aiki bokken and then Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, I find the principles of the chang/miao dao really quite the same, probably for the simple reason that there are only so many logical ways to move with the sword.
Dan Djurdjevic Indeed, that is undeniably so. At the same time, the level of similarity really is astounding, and I'm going to enjoy following this up a bit further.
Very nice, I was always interested in adding the miao dao to my repertoir. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing a double portion unto you
christopher alexander Thank you Christopher!
No problem I needed some instruction on fencing this video was right on time
I like how the feet slide after thrusting foward feels like floating
christopher alexander I'm glad if you felt I could help!
christopher alexander Yes - floating a bit out of control too!
