Thanks for another very useful lesson.
Always.
Thank you kindly for your demostration and explanation Sir, greatly appreciated Sir. Currently I am looking at the Wudang 7 Star system, and I see the similarities in your teachings here.
Your videos are getting more and more interesting! You made my dawn.)
Thanks, I work at it and have good people around me. Let us know what else you would like to see?
@@scottm.rodellgrtc2969 I’m interested in everything you do. And most of all, jian. For ex., in this video I found an excellent argument for a dispute with my friend, an apologist of parrying with the last third of the sword.)
@@bolverker_aka_ye edge parries are the antithesis of jianfa.
@@scottm.rodellgrtc2969 He has a whole philosophy on the parrying with the upper third of the sword. And your video (4.21) will be an “argument of authority” in my favor.
@@bolverker_aka_ye that nice... anyone who can come up with their own theories. But if this theorist happens to have a jian in his or her hand, that doesn't make it Chinese Swordsmanship. The principle of the Art have been clearly recorded and passed down.
Excellent.
Thanks, we appreciate your support!
Thank you. Please let us know what other videos you would like to see on this channel?

Stirring is a huge help, and tricky in practice.
It’s skill that needs to have time put into it…
Good vid!
Thanks brother.
👍
I'm sorry if you've had this question before, but it looks curious to me as an uninformed outsider: what's the purpose of the off-hand always staying in that two pointed fingers position, sometimes touching the wrist of the main hand? Is there a practical reason for it, is it a personal preference thing or is it just part of the artistic flair of the martial art you practice? (I think you mentioned drawing influence from Tai Chi at some point, but I'm not familiar with what Tai Chi, Kung Fu or Wushu are really about.)
Here's part of the answer- ua-cam.com/video/KmYMuMvxYpQ/v-deo.html
I tried stabbing with hard blade, the blade made the sound, but how do i check if I'm stabbing it right?

@@mugenGRTC got it!
If this is accurate Chinese swordsmanship I feel bad for anyone who practiced this having to fight someone from western disciplines XD.
@@WhiteApeMA It does not depend on the practitioner imo. Without evidence of its effectiveness in a simulated full speed scenario it has no credence. It reminds me of what has happened to the concept of Kung Fu and its variants. They are systems, but they don't reflect reality with respect to combat.
Practitioners of this systems have crossed blades with HEMA and other systems more times than I can count. The results were not what you are suggesting. If you aren’t just playing troll, Come to any In-Person seminar and you will see lots of full contact swordplay with 100% real weight, historically accurate weapons solid weapons. If you do, you will see in a few minutes how wrong your assumption is. Best of luck.
@@WhiteApeMA Practitioners in this school go at it full contact, with solid wooden weapons as a regular part of training.

Against whom and I would need proof of that so if you can post some source I'll check it out and correct my opinion to match my new data set.
@@lowfatlatte0 just do a web search… this school is well know for not being a forms only school, but a school of Swordsmanship. There are practitioners around the US, Canada, The UK, Estonia, Netherlands, Poland, Germany… At every branch, at every training, there is Full Contact Swordplay. Perhaps before jumping to baseless conclusions, you might try actually having a look. You can even attend a training and see for yourself. There is also the return of Tournament next year, June in Orlando Florida.
These videos are amazing! thank you for the insight and guidance!
Thanks brother. Just so you know, we do this Every Weekend Online at the Academy of Chinese Swordsmanship- www.chineseswordacademy.com/membershipsandcourses

Another excellent Video, shared brother.
Thanks, always appreciate hearing that.
Thanks!
There's a joke here but, I'm not going to say it.🤣 love your Channel.
Thanks, you'll have to message me the joke ;). Let us know what else you would like to see?
@@scottm.rodellgrtc2969 thanks for the content Scott. I don't think your channel has anything yet about working from a sword bind? Did that happen with these swords at all? It would be interesting to know what you would do if someone was seeking to 'stick' to your sword with their own - in a bind, or any other way...
@@Erime There isn't binding in Jianfa. The approach is to be free flowing, employing footwork to give you that freedom.
"Sticky Sword," is a modern practice that more often than not leads to misunderstanding at the basic level. Students training traditional Chinese Swordplay at the Academy don't have a problem crossing blades with practitioners of other systems. Even seen a "sticky sword" guy go out it with someone not interested in playing that game and determined to hit him?
Thinking "sticky sword" is fencing is like believing push hands is street fighting.
@@scottm.rodellgrtc2969 thanks for the reply. There are so many HEMA sword fighting videos about the significance of a bind occurring or even seeking a bind - this is very interesting to hear.
I am under the impression that one can hold one's sword far out in front and move forward towards one's opponent to pressure them into crossing swords (this roughly translates to muay thai or wingchun long guard in a street fighting scenario) - or else the opponent seeks new space and angles of entry by using footwork, as you have stated.
But what if two quite tight ranks of infantry with swords are closing in on one another on a battlefield? Surely they will get into binds with their swords as a result? Or is this jianfa only appropriate for duelling in more open spaces? 🤔
@@Erime The first thing to understand is that swordplay is not the same as hand to hand combat. Certainly, there can be principles that cross over. But there are important technical differences that make the way you interact with your duifang completely different in swordplay compared to hand to hand.
Jianfa as it developed over the last centuries, is essentially a "dueling" weapons. That is for one on one, or one very a small group, swordplay. Battlefield situation are clearly quite different. Chinese favored the shield and saber for battlefield combat, making use of grappling, and other techniques that are not common in Jianfa, as men get pressed together in the front lines.
