Thread: Does 7 Star Mantis have a Kwan Dao Form?

    Does 7 Star Mantis have a Kwan Dao Form?

    Hell all, just a simple curious question. I start training soon with a near by Sifu and I still have my Kwan Dao from my Hung Gar days. I never got to play around really with the massive beast of a weapon, so I had hopes that the 7 star system has it in their weapon's base?

    It has.
    But normally it will take you years and years of training a lot of other stuff before learning the Gwan Dou. Most students never learn this weapon.

    Yea if you are working your way through the syllabus then its going to take a while

    but then there is always the off chance that a seminar will happen and you'll learn it quicker.

    my sifu was saying its a big form anyhow

    Thanks kindly, I was hoping to get some info on that. I was told it was a long weapon form that requires some strength. I'm fairly excited abou it.
    It is not always the fastest sword that cuts the deepest...

    RWF,

    The most common set is the Spring Autumn Gwan Dao. There is also a Jahm Ma Dao (Horse Chopper), that is a similar weapon but shorter and uses different techniques.
