Wudang Broad Sword

This months releases shows two differing weapons, the broad sword and the straight sword, but from the same style, Wudang. Watch closely for the differences and the similarities. For example both demonstrate very precise foot work and blade positioning where as the broadsword embraces large sweeping movements to enter and block, the straight sword uses evasion and small wristy movements for the same end. Filmed at Shi Yan City, Dong Yue Gu Tai (Eastern Hill Ancient Statue) Garden, Wudang, China, 2004.
