Devil Slayer Sword Form

[ShaolinTiger00]

This very dynamic form was taught to me by my sifu and I've always wondered as to it's origins.

Do any of you do this form? Do you know which style it originated from? I have a feeling by the name alone that it refers to the 8 immortals and may be taoist.

Thanks for the help.

Isnt that sub zero's fatality move in Mortal Kombat? :rolleyes:

Dunno about it, but by the name it sounds like a cool form.

It comes from a style of heavy metal known as thrash, or death metal

[ShaolinTiger00]

That makes sense. It matches my leather chaps and hung gar studded bracers...

San Antonio's area code is 210. 210 x 2 = 420. Coincidence? I think not.

From http://www.pa-kua.com/fyi12/fyib12.htm:

Lu Dong Bin was a scholar who studied Taoism with Zhong Li Chuan, the Chief of the Eight Immortals. Lu is usually depicted holding a Taoist flybrush in this right hand and has a sword slung over his back. It is said that he was given a series of ten temptations to overcome in order to demonstrate his purity and virtue. Having overcome all ten temptations, Lu was given a supernatural sword. He used this sword to slay dragons and demons - ridding the world of evil. Lu Dong Bin's sword was named Chan-yao Kuai, which loosely translated means "Devil Slayer."

Carrying the sword on his back and living in moderation meant that he was always vigilant in not straying from the middle path. Always using the sword to cleave away any temptations to stray, Lu stayed true to his path - even when presented with the ten most difficult temptations. In the Eight Immortals Sword, this means that there are no excesses or insufficiencies and every technique adheres to the middle or balanced path.

thanks MK, but I knew all that. which is why I mentioned the 8 immortals and probable taoist connections..

K, the "middle path" is a buddhist concept.

For 1000 points and the broken toaster oven in your neighbours trash, how did this buddhist concept get mixed in with a taoist fairy tale? :D

cheers
