    Nice! I think some mantis lines have Miao dao forms...

    I may see many long staff methods.

    No wonder that they say the long staff method is the mother (general/minister) of all long weapon methods.

    The long spear is the father/king.

    The Sword Identity

    We do have a thread for the Sword Identity. That's connected to our JUL+AUG 2012cover story The Two-Handed Sword Reborn on the lead actor from that film, Grandmaster Yu Chenghui. It's not about Miao Dao however. It's about Shuangshoujian.

    Where does one acquire a miao dao. I have looked for years and only find ones slightly larger than katana.

    In the following clip, they should remove the tassel at the end of their Miao Diao.

    The tassel at the end of your

    - spear can be used to confuse your opponent.
    - Miao Diao (od Dao) can only be used to confuse "yourself".
