The knife method is mainly chopping, "the advantage of knife is chopping", and there are other knife methods such as pulling, stabbing, cutting, blocking, collapsing, chopping, rubbing, tying and wrapping. The characteristics of fencing are: brave and fast, magnificent, powerful and powerful. Knife, "its usage, only by posture, far jump over distance, eye Aauto faster and agile", and requires the knife to change with you, retreat, flash and jump vertically, and the body and machinery should be coordinated.

3. Characteristics

Martial artists often use "a knife like a tiger" to describe their bravery and strength. The broadsword is a long weapon. As the saying goes, "a broadsword depends on its blade", that is, when using the blade, you can do some kung fu such as chopping, rubbing, lifting, chopping, stabbing, pressing, hanging and stopping. Single knife and double knife are short weapons.

As the saying goes, "Look at your hands with a single knife, and look elsewhere with a double knife", so the single knife emphasizes cutting, chopping, stabbing, teasing, rubbing, blocking and cutting, while the double knife emphasizes uniform force with both hands, clear knife method, flexible pace and coordination from top to bottom to show the gesture of "flowers hidden in leaves and butterflies flying".

Popular giant knives, three-pointed double-edged knives, double-ring knives, long knives (two-handed knives) and so on. The knife method is mainly chopping, "the advantage of knife is chopping", and there are other knife methods such as pulling, stabbing, cutting, blocking, collapsing, chopping, rubbing, tying and wrapping.

4. Operating procedures

A remarkable feature of the knife is its simplicity, conciseness and fluency. Compared with most of the performance routines that have become seriously illusory, the single potential and fixed potential of the knife are simpler. Whenever you use a knife, you should be down-to-earth and strictly abide by the rules and laws. The size of the action and the scale of advance and retreat are all carried out under certain regulations, and it is not allowed to change and play with the so-called posture at will.

This almost rigid requirement is rare in modern general martial arts. However, it takes a lot of effort to move forward and backward with this knife. It needs to start with great efforts and hard work, and succeed in thousands of exercises.

Under the correct guidance, after practicing for a long time, the "knife smell" will gradually penetrate out, and the unique "murderous look" of the long knife will also be emitted.

At this time, with the improvement of "footwork", the sense of fluency arises spontaneously, and the practitioner can feel the pleasure brought by "fluency", and he can do whatever he wants. The audience can get a sense of momentum and rhythmic beauty that they will never enjoy in Chinese martial arts.
