Like it, seems to belong to the Hebei Taizu Chang Quan.

Honestly, the problem with a single person demonstrating sword styles, especially with poor video quality, is that it's hard to gague how effective they would be.

Some of the techniques this guy demonstrated are good, and he certainly has strong control of the blade.

Other things he does would get you killed in short order on the battlefield and probably on a duelling ground too.

I will give you this - the guy had grace and poise.

Has he posted any fencing vids?

I'd be interested to see.

The Channel is from Sifu Wu is from the so called Taiping Research Institute. As U understood it they mainly focus on promoting Chinese Traditional Martial Arts. As so the videos are from different practitioners from different martial arts. They document it through small footages. Sometimes they show really rare stuff.In other words I don't know who the guy is. He is most likely not the SifuWu.


Kind regards,

Perhaps I should clarify, when I said fencing I didn't mean as in western duelling sword competition, I meant competitive sword play in general. Sword sticking vids are awesome to watch when the players have skill.
