Anyone ever see a single dagger form?
I have seen one and think it may be a chin woo form.
Double daggers seem to be the most common.
Thanks

Do a search on this, I remember a thread about this very topic back a spell. From what I remember it was informative.
I learned the Wah Lum double D`s it is my favorite weapon set. Also learned a double D`s vs empty hand set. Sayloc, have you heard of this set? I saw Shifu Mike Johnson and his wife do a version of this, they had more than what I was taught. Oh well, this is a fun set none the less.
Have a good day.
I also remember the thread Yu Shan mentioned, but I couldn't find in in the NPM Forum, was it moved or deleted? Or perhaps I have to get some breakfast first in order to wake up
We also have double dagger sets. But I just recently learned a single dagger form, which is quite nice. I can't say where it really comes from, but it has some hooking techniques which very much relate to tanglang

Yep I have done a two dagger sets, One with the single butterfly sword, and 14 inch weapon, which is a knife.
The 14 inch weapon form is nothing but brutal. Both I learnt in Mantis.
I have heard of a single butterfly sword form but have never seen one. I only have double.
Wasnt sure if the single was traditional or not. Sounds like it is.
I think the butterfly knife is a southern style weapon ? that is used manly in Wing Chun ? I have never heard of it being used in northern mantis either in singles or pairs .
isn't there a butterfly knives form in wah lum?Originally posted by FEELERSTRIKE

I know that Zhang Wan Fu from Mui Fa Tang Lang teaches some ButterflyForms. Solo and Partnerforms.

You're right Jochen, we have Solo and Partnerforms with Butterflyknives, but I can't say if they are traditionally tanglang, although they're taught by Zhang Wan Fu.Originally posted by German Bai Lung

Also it's not Mui Fa (Mei Hua) but Tai Ji Mei Hua (Tai Chi Mui Fa). It's a slightly different lineage
Interesting. I am curious about the "traditional" lineages; how many dagger forms are there?
O.K,..thanks,..LOL!
How about traditional Mantis lineages??
Coming from a tradtional lineage we do not use southern weapon sets , hence my querie about the use of southern butterfly knives . Is this a modern addition to the style ? I see there is one 7 star school in Canada who list the Japanese Katana in their weapons listing .
