(Chorus: Buddhism)
I walk through the long enough
Hitting with the swords when the knight is coming out
Where do are saying there's a lie down the floor
Behold from the snakes and ladder
(Verse 1: Ian)
Sword vs sword sparring form
I learned this form Sifu Wong Jackman
Sifu Wong taught three sword forms that he stated where from the Wu Dang Sword lineage of Li Jin Ling
Sifu Li Jin Ling was considered to be the greatest Chinese swordsman
Of the 20th century and lived in the early part of the century
Sifu Li brought many of the nearly lost methods of Chinese swordsmanship back to life
Sifu Wong Jackman taught the [?] person sword set along with the Tai Chi Sword
Dragon phoenix sword and plum blossom straight sword as a great
Cohesive sword curriculum
(Verse 2: Tiger)
Two person sword sets are very rare in the world of Chinese martial arts
I have only seen one, or two, others in the last thirty years
The Sword vs sword sparring form, it's about 40 moves per side
There are many repetitions of important techniques and many other unique moves
Both sides of the form are rather similar, this makes it easy to learn
Because each person gets to do almost all the moves
It can be a little difficult to learn both sides though
People who are used to seeing sword fights in movies will be
Surprised by how this form works
The most noticeable thing is that two swords never clash, or touch
In fact, there are no blocking techniques in the form whatsoever
Instead, each, player uses their footwork and agility to dodge or evade each of their partner's cuts and thrusts
Often, you will evade at the same time you begin your own counter attack
This forces your opponent to drop their own attack and evade your counter-attack
(Chorus)
I walk through the long enough
Hittin' with the swords when the knight is comin' out
Where do are saying there's a lie down the floor
Behold from the snakes and ladder
(with ghost singing in the background)
(Verse 3: Dragon)
The whole form can be seen as a series of attacks
Evasions and elaborate counter-attacks that follow one after another
It is really fun, learning this form really helps you to
Understand the sword techniques in any sword form whether it is Tai Chi sword
Wu Dang sword, or any other type of sword form
In particular, it will open your eyes to nature of
Each of the cuts and how they might be really used
(Chorus)
I walk through the long enough
Hittin' with the swords when the knight is comin' out
Where do are saying there's a lie down the floor
Behold from the snakes and ladder
Jumping in the elevator
Behave the souls coming home back in the years
How many times do you have to tell you
Behold from the snakes and ladder!
Long enough
Knight is comin' out
Lie down the floor
Behold from the snakes and ladder
Elevator
Back in the years
How many times do you have to tell you
Behold from the snakes and ladder
