The majority of the "Japanese prirates" were Chinese. In the 16th centry, Nicholas Iquan Cheng was the largest armed maritime bloc (it's business includes raiding other ships or coasts, trading, logistic, combat or security services) in the East and South China Sea, he had a great relationship with Hirado Clan in Japan. His armed maritime bloc stopped becuase the Ming Dynasty offered him as a Navy general. After the Manchuria (Qing) defeated the Ming Dynasty, Nicholas Iquan Cheng decided to conitiue the Ming Dynasty on his own and he established a base in Taiwan in order to fight against the Qing. However both Nicholas Iquan Cheng and his son (Koxinga) failed in this career. After Koxinga's death, The chaiman of Koxinga navy staff named Punhee Chan, he estabished a anti-Qing secret society called Tin-day-hui Hongmen, and deployed 5 of his men to Fujian to start up another anti-Qing preparation (funding, recurite and training army). These 5 men pretent as buddhist monk in order to hide their identity, and this is possibly the prototye of the "Southern Shoalin", this is why double butterfly sabres very popluar amoung the Southern Arts, since the double butterfly sabres were the most favorable cold weapon of the East and South China Sea armed maritime bloc (Japanese Prirates).

Thank you so much - you are an incredible teacher: clear explanation, very good progressions, to the point.

where can i buy this

Thank you sifu be safe sir.

Popular in CLF? NAH!

ming long spear? i find it rather ming short…

My son is special needs and he really likes oriental fighting sports and weaponry; finds them very interesting.

as a mongolian lemme give you some info about mongolian saber, mongolian saber was perfect for warriors when the blade was the same length of its owners hand and thickness of the most wide area of its warriors 3 finger wide, the bottom part or the pommel had the symbol of the clan or the shape of the clans animal head, the hand guard had continuous reverse swastika’s engraved, the wood for the handle was made from a very hard wooden bush from todays bulgan province

Whoa flashback 1983, 14 yrs old, 1 yr into Kung Fu Wushu Snake, Fresno California, we had a visitor, Ernie Reyes Sr. he was a friend of our school and came to watch us, i think he was doing something tournament wise, long time ago. I remember the wiggly fingers and i overheard a voice say we have tape for those lizard feet. Now 55 no more wiggly fingers, also been years since i practiced, nice ptsd present from the 23yrs in the Coast Guard, but my doctors says i need to breathe and focus and that reminded me when i learned to breathe and focus and i found you. So i'm slowly reliving those moves one step at a time, i always felt Snake was much more fluid than some other styles i learned, plus the couple fight I've been in over 50 yrs ended quickly with the snake, decades ago. I've taught all my girls the 3 contacts that weight has no bearing on.

The Chinese were unable to fight their mongol overlords so the Chinese turned their Mongol overlords into Chinese overlords

I used some Paracord instead of a chain i used the traditional Okinawan design of nunchakus

PLEASE don’t call a nunchaku a numchuck or nunchuck or any other junior high school name. Please!

I particularly liked the final pass of the cord for a knot free result- cheers!

It exist in Han dynasty era, but it special made by blacksmith, not standart weapon. Green dragon crescent blade and snake spear are real in Han era, not myth.

Does this shield guard sword feel like a rapier or a longsword?

This is such a badaaass looking sword! Something with the simplicity and balance gives it such elegance resembling a piece of art rather than a tool for violence.

From what my mom and uncles told me, martial arts schools (if orthodox), we call it a “pai”.

This is an awesome review of the saber. I love your wrist flicks while doing some light demonstrations. I can tell that the saber can cut and slash effectively.

Perfect edge alignment!

Mmm..i don't know. I have never seen an archeological version of this type of Jian. Do You know what they based on to make this one?

Bonjour Sifu 🙏🏼Sh! oui très efficace 😊

Make that targeting look easy! Very neat set of swords.

Sifu, how does the D-Guard sword feel in the hand when you test-cut?

This piece is handsome and dignified, yet not in the least "flashy". The genius of LK Chen is that he finds simple yet elegant historical swords. That way more of the price goes toward a quality blade, and less on fancy fittings.

Sublime 😍

Rising Crane to Elbow Strike sounds like a combo from fighting games lol

I wouldn't mind having it if you don't like the sword :P

Это больно

Man's tryna have kids cutting themselves 😂

This looks really useful! I'm developing combat forms for my ogre characters and one has a long and short sword together. I'm making a pair of nested ogre swords for her from oak. It will be a mobile form, but grounded. No jumps and only low kicks. Blocking and attacking go together. Other than that, I'm learning how two blades were historically used.

I would to know what short saber looks like.

awesome demonstration

That is so Kitana's moves.

These are wodao design that uses by special forces around coastal area. The actual Ming dao has broader width towards the tip but without yelman and not like the oxtail saber that comes 300 years later.

Turco-mongol sabre*

❤merci Sifu pour cette magnifique vidéo intéressante 🙏🏼🙏🏼☯️

Hmm I bet they’d have both sharp and blunt versions even in the past . Once you get a fencing culture you get a dueling culture very quick .

Clearly explained and executed. Thank you for this video and channel.

Great video!!!! Very solid technique!

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Uussshhh Excellent maneuver

What steel is that? On the LK chen site, there's 3 options to choose from.

Ahh yes, the mother of Katanas😊

Thank you for taking the time to share this brother

steel ji

tomahawk

I do something similar in my wing chun butterfly sword form. 2 steps, 360-degree jump spin with a double sword chop. But we only do one jump forward and one jump back to the starting position, we don't chain them together. Maybe I should try that...

in situations where you cannot wear the sword
