That was one of the combat steel Dragon Well ones, right? I'm happy to hear that one fell into good hands because we can't get those anymore. I beleive Dragon Well still makes them in limited numbers but the price shot through the roof. Now Dragon Well makes mostly Wushu apparatus because that's where the money is.

With our postponement, I'm most disappointed losing this event. It's been a pet project of mine for months now, and I even have a video, part of a new vlog series I'm developing, that now has to be re-edited to accomodate the postponement. However, whenever we reschedule, this Heavy Guandao Championship will be included.

So true that "aesthetic elements of a performance are also valuable skills to practice". That's where form meets function!
