just that question.

just that question.
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"

Long, hard, and sharp. Usually with a curve in the blade.

Some people put flags on 'em so they look pretty when they're twirled.

Personally, I like 'em Conan-style. "Conan the Barbarian...." not "Conan the Destroyer".....**** that second movie sucked.

Probably that one where all the most basic movements are covered. I am sure you have seen it, it starts with "Entwine the head", slash, slash, bind the head, thrust etc...
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

Kickin' it
I have one from Wing Lam, that's pretty basic. But I use a Da Dao to practice it now, my Broadsword isn't heavy enough.

In my school we teach Yilu dandao, and it is rediculously simple, but an excellent introduction to broadsword techniques. I've seen several versions of this form, and all are much harder, but my sigong got this form from shaolin temple, so i'm standing by it.

NJM: i have one of the 'combat steel' dao's from here...it's plenty heavy...about 3 times as heavy as one of the wushu blades.
Jingwu Man: thanks. I'll do a search for that and see what I find. I have two broadsword sets neither of them very simple and I want a 'ridiculously simple' set to feed the beginner's with.

No, this is one something I picked up locally. It's like all the most basic drills done in a form.

pretty basic.
Kung Fu is good for you.

If you can find a copy of Shideqian's shaolin encyclopedia, my school's yilu dandao is almost the same form as the one in there except for the ending. Short and sweet.

David, yea, I know. I've been thinking about just ripping the two I have apart and making one but would rather find one that has a little history to it.
Jingwu Man: thanks, that gives me a place to start.
