2000 years old ancient Chinese long saber technique which combines skills of sword, staff and spear. The name Miao Dao means "wheat sprout saber", presumably referring to a likeness between the weapon and a newly sprouted wheat. Miao Dao is a decedent version of a variety of ancient Chinese long sabers, such as the Han Long Saber and Cutting Horse Long Saber. Miao Dao Skills have been developed by martial artists of different dynasties to pass down form one, two and four to our time. Along with the One hand saber, Miao Dao was also used by some Chinese troops during the WWII to fight with Japanese army.

Some moves here look really similar to the european montante! Goes to show how both fighting techniques focus on the best possible utility of such long blades.

What do you think of it? Do you think it is hard or not? Have you also compared with other sword skills?

Well I picked up the miao dao some years back and was always working drills from the yi and er lu forms, and first I learned si lu (four roads), as it is a simpler military form. Only early last Summer did I finally string together yi lu. I like it alot. It wasn't too hard because of all the time I spent with this sword beforehand, but overall a very elegant form. It has it's roots in the late Ming dandao manual I believe and the er lu was created later by Gou Chengsheng. Never did er lu. But got help with the first form by a student of his student. Compared to other styles? Well this one uses lots of twisting. Hence why it is often taught alongside Pigua or Tongbei. Postures are lower and twisted in general which makes it unique from others.

@@WhiteApeMA You sounds like very professional in it. You can make a video share online as well. I believe Form one (Yi lu) is bit more based on Ming Dynasty's manual, but form two (er lu) has more self development from Guo Changsheng

Nice. Really fluid looking form. Seems pretty different from the one I learned. Be nice to try this form to add to the one I learned. Anyone any idea if there’s an instructional video for this form?

@fredliu9722 4 ай бұрын

Really? How different is the one you learnt. Did you practiced the one call form four?

@gwynwilliams5161 4 ай бұрын

@@fredliu9722 I learned one called the four roads. It’s a really nice form but some parts of the one you do seem like others I’ve seen on KZfaq with some differences. I just really like the Miao Dao and like to see how others do it and try to learn the differences. This two forms seem a little more dynamic and a bit more intricate. Look really good 👍

Is it possible to do this with a 6 foot odachi. I would really love to see!

Good idea! Actually Miao Dao has Japanese Odachi blood dated back to 17th century. China faced some pirate issue during 16~17th century for the east coast. Some Japanese samurai were recruited by pirates and impressed Chinese army with their sword skills. Chinese army had to figure out how to deal with these Japanese Samurai by learning from them in the battle. There is a Chinese sword skill book in 17th century called Dan Dao Fa Xuan, which mean some practice of long sword skills, mentioned the skills comes from Japanese. The Miao Dao form one, which is what I did in the video, directly comes from this book, Dan Dao Fa Xuan. Chinese Martial artist, like Guo changsheng, in early 20th Century developed it into form two and form four which contains more and more Chinese practice and split from the Japanese sword system. When you hold Miao Dao, you feel it more like a staff or spear rather than an Odachi which is more curved. If you practice Miao Dao skills, you can use these skills in fight even though you only have a stick at your hand. Happy for further discussion.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9imY86fs7OVmIk.html I also have a form two for demonstration. I learnt it very recently after the form one, so it still needs to be improved, by it contained more Chinese martial art skills rather than Odachi.

@@fredliu9722 Amazing thank you so much. Your skill is quite smooth. Keep up the great work. I never have had any real sword training but recently about a week ago I stumbled across Miao Dao and fell in love immediately with it's kung fu movements. I hope to be able these movements by watching your videos. Are you stationed in the united states by chance? Are you self taught from that book or have you had any training from a master?
