      Look up “little raven studios.” That’s where I got most of my wooden weapons. They’re expensive and take some time, but each item is made with high quality and are durable.

      Would you happen to know where to find any plastic/poly pudao/guandao?

      Unfortunately I do not know of any poly/plastic guan dao, but the wooden ones work quite well.

      Honestly I just wish the blade was longer. Is the blade 21 inches? It just looks shorter than that on video I guess

      @@thebiggestboi_art906 yep 21 inches. There are several variants on the site to choose from. Also a pu dao. I got this variant in the video because it lines up closer in dimensions to my steel blade guan dao.

    guandao is NOT for foot soldier. its for the calvary to charge infantry.. its too heavy. need to be used on horse back.

      Typically yes. But one should still practice off of horseback as you might fall off of your horse and become surrounded by enemies. Thus it survived as a foot practice. Masters would even specialize in particular weapons back in the day when you would use them, and Guan Dao is one of them. I was actually taught a short routine for this weapon done in horse stance to simulate being on a horse. The Ma family from which my Kung fu derives actually raised horses and would practice the routine on horseback.
