Eric's version is shown here:

You'll understand immediately why I had to do a demo for him after such result. Big Grin

A single handed jian is not going to be very reliable in parrying MK's two handed straight dao, so in this bout I was more focused on voiding, staying out of measure to get myself away from trouble, rather than relying totally on parrying. heheh

That's why I was like dancing.

Yes, I do step offline too, just subtly so that I can get the opponent sword away from me.

Thanks for watching again. I guess a gopro inside the helmet will be good to tell the story from first person angle, like our recent newspapers interview video was, which is shown here:

Doing a demo sparring for Eric to show how his custom heavy jian (2 lbs 6 oz, 1.1kg) should be used.


Really nice footwork: I'm not going from parsing the specific, but it looks and feels like " DANCING " in it's fluidity + maybe reading your opponent well enough that you get a substantial reaction time bonus in being able to move and counter sooner than what would seem " normal " Big Grin Cool

I could be wrong, but I think you are using and teaching the whole " measure/voiding/timing " thing a lot more than you where before ? Or, I just started noticing it Question Surprised Laughing Out Loud

Just because I know the German tradition better than other systems I wonder if you use stepping subtlety off line and avoid a totally linear approach when getting into measure for an attack ?

A 3/4 profile view or an overhead view might show up slight or subtle stepping off line ? I realize that some camera angles are just not practical to set up. Wink Big Grin

In theory the best would be multiple cameras in sync and then editing to various angles that show best what is happening.

Also, one extra camera hand held might capture additional interesting things to edit in, make close ups on hands or contact of swords etc ..... Now, I realize that this would need a film crew and would be expensive in time editing and/or money. ( So this isn't a criticism, but just what it would take if you where making commercial training videos ).

Just saw your last video. What are the yellow and red circles for?

Red circle means a clear victory.

Yellow circle means a wounded victory.

the sword I was using was Tun's Bagua Jian.
the sword Tun was using was Old ghost's long Han Jian.
Old ghost beat the crap outta him
so I was trying to show him how he could use his sword against old ghost's longer sword. almost 10 inches difference.

Practicing with 3 students straight, 10 rounds each. I was using a custom RSW sword, which the real sword was 3V No Remorse from Longship Armoury that I designed. Hon Wing was using a Chinese style 2 handed straight Dao RSW. Henry was using a Ronin-O-Katana RSW version. Desun was using an European long messer RSW.
