I only saw this weapon in an article in Inside Kung-Fu years ag. It's impressive to see it used in motion and the body movement and footwork required to use it effectively (although I once smashed an overheard light fitting training a bokken kata indoors so I don't think I'd have the confidence of this instructor!)
I’ve went through a couple of MiaoDao to get to this one, but still, I’m not entirely happy with this one. I got this on eBay, there are quite a few options on it. My recommendation is not to spent too much money on a fancy one, and don’t spend less than $200, you might as well throw the money into trash. I’d recommend this one, simple, not fancy, spring steal, durable: www.ebay.com/itm/383210058887?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=H34nBwDERla&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=S6LgIo0cSwe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
You can’t cut through plate armor or most solid armors in general with a blade, this is why maces and war hammers had a place on the battle field, a sword distributes force between too much space where a hammer, pick or mace all the force goes into a single point and they are much heavier than swords. The only swords that go through armor reliably are not cutters but thrusting swords with a needle like point. Cutting swords simply don’t deal armor. Cutting swords are literally the only reason why armor existed as arrows spears maces and nearly any other type of weapons cannot stand up to armor. Swords literally snap or break if you hit them against things that they can’t cut, the blade gets cracks which eventually cause the whole blade to break. Yes it’s a very heavy sword but if you simply had a metal rod of the same weight you would do more to armored people than the blade would because the blade will bend and flex absorbing the force where a solid piece of metal will not. Again the only blades that perform against armor are extremely sharp needle point weapons that can pierce through the links in mail or drive into plates. A blade cannot cut mail it may snap links from force but both the mail and the sword are built to flex during force. Swords are made specifically to cut through non armored things, this would not be hard especially in China because full armor was exceptionally rare. You could just attack whatever part of the person is not armored. Before anyone argues let’s see the sword actually hit anything made out of steel of any significant thickness. You don’t actually need to do this anyway because there are plenty of films on the internet of swords hitting plate armor. The armor only ever ends up breaking in the connective places between plates. Even samurai armor which is made out of steel rods tied together with silk is pretty much uncutable. What is required is brute force from a hammer or stabbing force from something with a needle point. Arrow, spear, or dagger. This is why western long swords were made with a sharp dagger point so that they could be accurately stabbed into spaces between armor. Cutting swords cannot do it. What that massive sword gives you is range and cutting power. You have the ability to fight of multiple attackers or overwhelm someone with a lighter sword who cannot hope to parry that massive sword. It’s a beautiful piece you should just not guess at what it’s use is to make it sound more impressive. The truth is it’s an incredible impressive sword on its own without storytelling.
Hi! Wondering if your miaodao is a performance weapon or a sparring weapon? I'm looking to buy a miaodao to spar with german longswords and was wondering if there is a place you recommend?
The one you see in the video is a high manganese steel Miaodao, should be combat ready. It is the less expensive option than the folded steel swords. I typically buy them from eBay. Or you can check this guy’s website: lkchensword.com/silver-swallow-miao-dao
you should learn some moves from aikido with swords, they do lot better your last move and more simple. They sense instant using aiki the oponets moves, and combine well with sabaki. Key for their succes is lot of training.
Not sure if maybe its a translation error but at 2:36 you mention you're confident that the cut is used to "cut through armours". During the period of history the "Miao Dao" didn't exist but the sword it represents, the Dandao/Wodao style long sabre would not have been able to cut through the armour of that time period. Thankfully the pirates it was designed to combat didn't wear much.
Ming dynasty is too far to trace, there are so many different sayings and different versions of the ShuangSho Dao... however, the MiaoDao we are demonstrating was from NanJing Central Martial Arts club and was used to fight the Japanese during the sino-Japanese war (the soldiers used DaDao, but the forms they used was evolved from Miaodao moves). Cutting through armors or not, the movements supposed to used the whole body and footwork to maneuver due to its oversized shape and weight. We focus on the real facts of what’s being held in our hands and the movements that makes sense to the weapon, rather than focusing on history.
Sorry, incorrect. General Qi Jiguang documented a manual of longsword strategy《纪效新书》published in 1560, firmly in the Ming Dynasty, updated for use against the wokou. The form of the weapon itself goes back even further to the Han, but its name and function as a battlefield weapon changed over the years, beginning as an anti-cavalry weapon, later to defend against the spear's reach, and so on. Your rather confident claim that they wouldn't cut through armor of the period is hogwash. They're heavy with a thick spine and there really isn't any reason to believe they couldn't.
@Brian_B505 have you ever tried cutting through iron with a sword? What's depicted in the video is a splendid cutting technique, but swords are not good weapons against armor, pretty much across the board.
As far as I know, the Nodachi were created as a “showing off” weapon, in Japanese sword culture, Nodachi was not considered a practical weapon compare to, say a katana. MiaoDao is.
@@wutan_nj That is in part true ! But actually the Nodachi comes in three flavors! The first version and the version i meant originally for my comparison is pretty much a longer Katana much like the Miao Dao! Hence i wonder about the differences! Sasaki Kojiro a famous fighter was known to use one! It was pretty much a duel weapon ! The second version was pretty much battelfield weapon was even longer and was used manly for anti cavalry work ! Like cutting down horses by cutting their legs etc. ! The third version is probably the one you had in mind ! It was was the longest of the three and and absulutly unwieldy and unfit for combat ! They were used for ceremonial dutys like in shrines and stuff ! The Ōdachi Norimitsu is probably the most famous example of this!
@@christianjunghanel6724 thanks for the detailed breakdown. Very informative. My understanding is that Sasaki used one regular length sword and one shorter sword. The longer sword he used was not at Miao Dao’s length. The anti-cavalry sword is more of MiaoDao’s length, and yes they used the length to attach horses’ legs or the soldiers on horses. MiaoDao’s maneuver is somewhat between a spear and a dao(saber), lots of circular movements and sticking techniques.
@@wutan_nj The lenghth of the versions were not necessarily normed ! Its more like categorys they fall into! So forgive me if the length do not match exactly ! It might be possibly that Mia Dao falls somewhere between vesion on or two ! The one with the two sword was miyamoto musashi his final opponent ! Although he was known for his dual wielding nitoryu style ( which used a wakizashi short sword mainly for blocking and a Katana mainly for attacking), he did not used it one on one situations! In that particular duel its even said as a ruse he use a bokken like weapon which he craved from a paddle which was also longer than Sasakis Nodachi !
@@christianjunghanel6724 yes, I was referring to Mitamoto’s dual swords. Regardless. Even Miaodao has its length variations between the swordsmen. There’s no standard length to miaodao. It is the way it is being maneuvered that sets the difference between weapons in my opinion.
Thank you so much for being so generous laoshi. It's encouraging there are dedicated artists keeping this heritage alive. Cheers!
You are very welcomed !

不知道老师有没有关注过近几年来国内的兵击或者说中式HEMA, 大部分人对练的时候使用的模拟重量重心的尼龙形制武器或者减伤处理的对练钢剑，就我个人体验而说，尼龙和钢剑的体验是非常不错的，重心重量基本符合要求，就是价格有点贵。尼龙形制的苗刀在600~900人民币，钢制对练苗刀价格在1500~2000人民币，全套护具要求在5000上下。如果不考虑价格，这个选择会比竹剑好很多，可以添置两套给学生用。国内淘宝商家这两年来也越来越多，南京武库司，成都的百川江湖，杭兵，木羽堂，善远堂这些都还算做的比较大的商家。
是的，我有關注最近沸沸揚揚的古兵器比賽。我也希望在不久的將來能夠買幾支。但是我對護具倒是有一些看法... 兵器與徒手最大的差別在『生死』，但這樣的比賽有護具與特製安全兵器保護選手，在心境上是天壤之別的，既然不會死，就會『勇敢』的衝勇敢的砍殺... 其實看看已經發展上百年的日本見到比賽就可以看到國內的兵器比賽將來的走向。招式會越來越精簡，打擊得分部位會越來越小，到最後會演變的以速度為首要（跆拳道也是）而力量與技術變會慢慢的消失了。
沒了生死或截肢或劇痛的顧慮，一切都會變得不一樣了。
@@wutan_nj 确实如此，国内的兵击比赛已经有很多竞技化趋势，例如说为了得分随意与对手双杀造成两个人都死了，或者是使用重量过轻的对练武器来获得更快的出剑速度。既然是比赛，这种趋势便是不可避免的。
不过可以购买兵击用的武器和护具，偶尔模拟下真实的战斗。或许可以多种训练方式并存，倘若只是使用竹剑木刀，也会因为武器的重心、重量、长度造成对练时与现实差距太大（比如说竹剑太短太轻），而如果用木刀，又实在是太容易造成受伤，木刀的结构是刚性的，足以全力打断肋骨。而如果用兵击的训练武器和护具，能够在保证安全的情况下全速攻击。
又或者可以降低护具的水平，让被打中的人感到很痛，但是又不会产生致命的风险。
总之，我觉得还是得多种方式多样化地训练，这里也只是提供一个新的思路。

补充一下苗刀的历史，汗青写的“清初，武者宗师吴殳作《单刀图说》，因其认为“唐有陌刀…其法不传。今倭国单刀，中华间有得其法者，而终不及倭人之精。”于是结合剑法改良出十八势单刀法。因此程宗猷的《单刀法选》和吴殳《单刀图说》其实同出一源，都是是来自日本刀和日本刀技法。民国，近代刀法宗师马凤图改双手刀为破锋八式，传入29军军中，是为大刀队之刀法起源。”

苗刀是汉代就有还是由戚家刀演变成的

@@wutan_nj 收到，我去瞅瞅。
请问苗刀的长度以及其刀刃和刀柄的比例有什么讲究吗，有没有根据人的身高，臂展等因素的不同导致长度也有所不同，经过我的查询，似乎都是固定的制度
兵器是肢體的延伸。除非是士兵上戰場沒得挑，不然兵器還是得配合使用者的身高手長等做比例配合為佳。大致上來說，苗刀的總刀長應在 136cm - 146cm 之間，但刀身的鋼料與鍛造術會直接影響刀深的重量而影響與刀柄的重量比例。雙手刀因雙手持刀是可以有較重的刀身比例，POB 可以從最佳的離護手9cm 到 15cm… 大多的苗刀刀身 100cm 左右，而刀柄我則不建議過長，應坐落於 39cm- 44cm 間，不要超過44公分，除非使用者身高超過185公分。

@@张一拓 去年聖誕節前夕收到了夜奔北京掌櫃黃鴻璽師兄寄來了他精心設計的「通明衣」。試穿後為之驚艷！從設計、理念、材質、實用度、舒適度都是從來沒有在任何傳統武術服裝感受過的精緻！之前聽黃師兄敘述他的武術服裝設計理念，談到這幾乎已經絕跡的傳統「通名扣」，是以前為武術家的特別設計；那排緊密環環相連的扣環能使武者出門「赴約」、或鏢師走標前能「通通明明」的靜下心思考，三思後行。
這環環相扣的設計實戰中還極耐拉扯，每個環扣相互卸力，不像五、六個單一扣子容易拉破。
「通明衣」不以大、中、小號做尺寸區分，而是以幾個不同身型來做選擇：熊、虎、龍、鳳、鷂五種基本不同體型比例。比如熊的剪裁適於身材寬厚的人；龍則適合身材瘦長的人；鷂則是給嬌小纖瘦的人... 這種傳統的尺寸理念很特別也很周到。
材質的選擇保暖但卻透氣，最酷的是整件「通明衣」可伸縮，除了莊重時尚外還可以練拳！不管是八卦的滾鑽撐裹、劈掛的劈抱撐靠... 絕對比Nike等科技運動衣來得好「動」！
最後剪裁設計上也有許多專為傳統武術的巧思；像是兩手是通過後背連結的「通背」剪綵，與一般衣服身體與兩袖為分開的布塊有內涵...

1. 影片是為大家對日本刀與苗刀的混淆做解釋。
2. 唐刀、苗刀、雙手刀、倭刀、單刀... 等由來眾說紛紜，並沒有一定的歷史說法。唯一知道的是中國雙手刀/唐刀早由唐代變傳入日本，但之後的幾百年中國雙手刀便不盛行，甚至絕跡... 一直到明代由戚繼光再從日本刀的鍛治與新陰流刀法再「創」中國雙手刀。
3. 歷史不是本影片的重點，重點在於苗刀的使用與日本刀相差甚遠。
