Sharing some recent sparring videos

Post by Chan Lancelot »

There are 3 exciting videos in this week's gathering. Simon tried his custom large Dao vs me and Rock's Zulu War Spear. The one he fought against the zulu spear was kinda "Matrix like" with flying over the spear and slicing the neck in midair, ducking below the spear to cut the legs, using the hand to slap the spear and the leg to kick the spear around.

Also, I had a rematch against Zulu War Spear, using appropriate tactics this time.

BTW, has anybody tried to employ bind and wind with a straight sword against a curved sword? I have some interesting findings that the binds that would lock a straight sword might not always work against a curved sword. I have been defeated several times when my opponent who wielded a curved sword can just force against my bind and let his curvature do the charm to slip through it, cutting me behind the bind!

(Russ Mitchell, maybe you can shed some lights on this issue?)
