    Broadsword

    Anybody have any full-speed vids of the broadsword in action?

    It's just one of those weapons that gives me a chub when I see it used effectively...

    Yes, I have a full speed broadsword set recorded.

    But...I ain't posting it. Sorry.

    Maybe a private invite youtube vid in the future or something.
    NO public demonstrations anymore whatsoever.
    It's terrible for my ego when people pat me on the back.
    It's annoying when slobbering trolls yap on about weapons sets.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    european broad sword or chinese broadsword, I know it's a kung fu forum, but some people ask for one thing and mean another. You Tube is your friend as well as google!

    European usage does not include forms.

    Just pell work, fencing and step drills.

    broadsword of european variety isn't used much for fencing either come to think of it. There are some anachronistic social organizations that like to armour up and larp with the things though.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Come on, man. I posted this in the Southern Kung Fu system. What do you think?

    Except for fencing, European weapon systems are woefully lacking.
