Students Training the Zha Ci Partner Drill
Leeds Chinese Swordsmanship Seminar, May 2022
Nice “skipping stone” movement where the deflection answers seamlessly with a Zha to the duifang’s sword arm, then continues in with a Ci to the sword arm shoulder as the arms is withdrawn.
One detail to note here is that some of the thrust are low and not to the shoulder as they should be. This error often occurs as the sword arms tires from a day of training. If the Ci goes too low, it should be deflected with a circular stirring deflection.
Thanks to Paul Andrew of the Xing Yi Academy for organizing our Leeds Seminars.
Realistic Training leads to functional skills.
From the recent Leeds, UK Chinese Swordsmanship Seminar. Thanks to Paul Andrews for organizing another very successful training.

Been a bit busy since my return from the UK, but had to get up this photo from the Leeds, UK Seminar. Yes, the T-SHort does read, “Train Like a Beast.”

Qing White Banner Bannerman practicing Shuangjian Sino-Japanese War 1894. One of the things I like about period paintings like this is the dose of reality. This is how swordsmen of the Qing dynasty appeared. Not with the wild, colorful, “silky” outfits we see in wushu today, with dragons and sequins. Note also the unusual s shaped guards of his two jian, quite unusual for the period.

I’ve always found training with the two-handed Miaodao an excellent counter-point to my Jianfa practice. Miaodao work focuses on engaging with power supported by full steps. The Jian swordplay tends to be more like a fast chess games employing circular steal steps and quick half steps. Training in these two very different systems provides a wide understanding of tactics and sword strategy.

I put together 8 Short Sword Forms for the Academy of Chinese Swordsmanship (中華刀劍武藝學院). I drew them from the Yangjia Michuan Taiji Sword form, compacting some of the movements so they are practiced as they are applied in Free Swordplay.Sunday we worked on the 4th in the Series which starts squatting down then spring up to deliver the thrust seen here-White Ape Emerges from the Cave
