Thanks for posting.
I just learned this set some weeks ago. It's a real skill.

Daifong is pretty good with the Kwando huh?

Very nice, I hadn't seen the clip of Lee Yunfook. That man's performance shows some real finesse.

Yours is very clean, and athletically rendered. It's good to have an abbreviated version, both for the standard tournament limit of two minutes, and also, the better to not put non-martial artist audiences asleep. Lol.

For mine, Sigung always insisted that whole sets be played. Then again, it was just us there, and we had the entire evening to perform.

I'd recommend Kwando play for anyone. No need it be too heavy, just balanced, and focused with the blade. This, like other long weapons, is excellent for tendon development and a stable waist and stance, and excellent for weight control as well. Just a bit more challenging to learn than basic staff-work, but well worth the time and effort.

Nice post!

Thanks Daifong! One of my fav weapons. Been playing it a long time too.

We only had a few minutes for our demo and as I was told to do the Kwando (something I rarely demoed) Sifu told me to cut the set. Thats what I came up with on the fly. Wish I would have added a little more meat to it tho.

Thanks for posting those 3 demos! I always enjoy seeing the Chun Chow played . Each one excellent!

I really enjoyed Mr Lee's Kwan do performance there - although I am biased as I have been lucky to train with him on a few occasions - i believe the poster on this forum has misspelt his name it's Fook not Fuk and I am not sure about there being ang UGH in his Cantonese name?

He adds a WuShu flair for his competitions.
