Flying Crane,

You are correct. It is a Sabre although the Yangs call it Southern Broadsword. He is performing the Traditional Yang Family Form (13 posture).


Very best wishes

Beautiful work!!!



This is very nice too...

Thank you!

 

[Flying Crane]

ooohh Shiney...

 

[Flying Crane]

I have never seen it used in Chen style. Is it only used by Yang stylists?

I've heard that it is only found in Yang taiji, and in Xing-yi. That may not be entirely accurate, but that is what I have heard.

Interesting. I've only seen Southern Broadsword in reference to the shorter, wider version of the broadsword, with an extra long handle and often a ring pommel. Sometimes with a series of rings along the back of the blade.

Damn that is nice work. If you lived closer I'd have about 3 jobs for you. 2 Daos and a Jain.

Thanks Xue Sheng, very informative.

 

[Flying Crane]

grrr... now my office web nannie blocks the link to the Dao. I expect it's accurate anyway, I certainly know what Dao is...

Xue Sheng,

Thanks for that. The Taiji Sabre is the one the Yang Family use and call Southern Broadsword. Its the one the guy was using in the clip I referred to.

The Tung/Dong family uses the Dao.
