Chinese Spear Sparring - Daqiang


"The Pike was used by the ancient battlefield phalanx. It is one of the weapons that appeared quite early. It was used on the battlefield for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty (1528-1588 A.D.) Qi Jiguang authored "The New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Practice of Military Training", which described in detail the experience of the formation of large guns and the training of troops. In the Qing Dynasty (1610-1694 A.D.), Wu Shi wrote "The Arm Record", which recorded the skills and comparison records of various folk gun skills. It was the earliest prototype of the big gun competition and confrontation. Taiwan has been holding a big gun competition since 2002."
