.A back stab is done by either turning aroundor arching back.A probing stab is done by internally rotating the forearm so thatthe palm heart faces out and passes by the shoulder, stabbing with an uprightblade to the upper or lower front, sending the upper body and shoulder forwardwith the sword.See figure 4 of Appendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Not focussing the force to the tip of the sword; allowingthe tip to drop so that the sword is not in line with the arm.SOLUTIONS: Focus always on aligning the sword with the arm.Keepcontrol the wrist firm at all times.Control the sword lightly with the thumb,index and middle fingers.PROGRESSIONS: The same as the pierce for the sabre.3.CHOP (PI): With the blade upright, chop down from above, the cut is donewith the body of the sabre or sword.The arm forms a straight line with theweapon.A swinging chop swings the weapon in a vertical circle by the right orleft side of the body before chopping.A back chop is coordinated with the turn ofthe body.See figure 5 of Appendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Bending the arm and snapping the weapon at the end;putting too much force at the shoulder joint, so that the force does not reach theblade.SOLUTIONS: Use the waist to swing the arm, so that the weapon followsalong; keep the wrist firm; pay attention to relaxing and using the force from thebody to cause acceleration of the arm.PROGRESSIONS: Ensure that the student has correct fist and palmchopping technique; practice standing chops; practice stepping into a stance,alternating a bow stance and open bow stance, coordinating the chop with thestance. 4.HOOK (GUA): Hook the tip from the front up and back, or down and back.The force is applied with the back of the weapon.An upper hook hooks up andback; a lower hook hooks down and back; a swinging hook circles around in a fullvertical circle.The blade always stays close to the body.See figure 6 of AppendixC.COMMON ERRORS: Letting the blade travel away from the body; notapplying force with the back of the blade, letting the blade swing loosely.SOLUTIONS: Use the waist to bring the weapon through the line ofapplication; keep the wrist firm; pay attention at all times to the vertical circle.PROGRESSIONS: Practice while standing close to a wall to prevent theweapon from swinging wide; practice coordinating the hook with the knee raise;always practice both sides.5.SLASH (LIAO): The blade slices forward and up, cutting with the forwardedge of the blade.A normal slash is performed with the forearm laterally rotatedand the palm facing up, the blade circling by the right side of the body; a reverseslash is performed with the forearm medially rotated, the blade circling by theleft side of the body.See figure 7 of Appendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Not reaching fully to the front; not slicing with theforward edge of the blade, letting the tip hang down; not forming a vertical circle.SOLUTIONS: Control the tip with the fingers, keeping the wrist firm;practice shoulder flexibility to obtain the fullest use of the forearm rotation; turnthe waist to aid the circle.PROGRESSIONS: Ensure that the student has correct upward palm striketechnique.Practice standing, alternating normal and reverse slashes using thewaist; practice moving into a stance while performing either slash.6.WRAP (CHANTOU, GUONAO): This is a sabre technique only.The swordnever passes over or around the head, so performing this technique with a swordis an error."Chantou' is performed by wrapping the sabre around the leftshoulder, around the back then by the right shoulder, with the tip pointing downand the back of the blade close to the body.'Guonao' is similar, reversingdirection, from right to left.See figure 8 of Appendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Swinging the blade too far from the body; ducking thehead; not keeping the blade vertical as it passes in the rear.SOLUTIONS: Keep the hand high when passing the blade around the head;always remember that the sharp edge of the blade must not touch the body.PROGRESSIONS: Practice standing alternating directions, cutting down tothe waist after 'chantou', and wrapping fully down to the waist to hide the sabreafter 'guonao'; practice the same sequence, moving from bow stance to emptystance.7.HIGH BLOCK (JIA): With the blade facing up, push the blade directly up,above the head and slightly to the side.The force is applied to the body of theweapon.The palm may face either in or out.See figure 9 of Appendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Letting the tip drop; not raising the blade high enough. SOLUTIONS: Emphasize the application of the technique as a high block toprotect the head.PROGRESSIONS: Ensure that the student has the correct arm blockingtechnique; practice standing blocks; practice stepping into a stance, coordinatingthe block with the stance.8.HIDE (CANG): This is primarily a sabre technique.The 'waist-hide' has theblade curling around the left side of the body, the tip pointing back and the bladefacing out, hidden behind the back.The 'upright-hide' has the blade verticalbehind the left shoulder.The 'flat-hide' has the blade pulled back with the tipfacing forward and the blade facing down, at the right hip.The sword is neverlaid on the body, but may sometimes use the 'flat-hide' position.See figure 10 ofAppendix C.COMMON ERRORS: Not controlling the tip.SOLUTIONS: Keep control over the whole blade at all times.PROGRESSIONS: Practice the hides together with the wraps; practicemoving from stance to stance, combining the wraps with the movement and thehides with the stances [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
