Miaodao form. Teacher Rodell, in blue on the left, employs a běng tiāo (繃挑) deflection in a kǎn cut (砍), follows with a circular jiǎo (絞) deflecting into a pi cut, then slips to his left with a jià hù (架護), countering with a jī cut (擊) to the next neck, then circles into a second jī (擊) cut as his duifang responds to his first. These and other techniques, the form and basic cuts of this Miaodao system are covered in detail in a forth coming Online Course due out in early 2020."

Xingyi Quan Episode - Jing Cheng Wushu


Xingyi Quan Episode - Jing Cheng Wushu 


"Jing Cheng Wushu is a series that ran on Beijing TV in the 80's. Each episode focused on a Chinese martial art style popular in Beijing at the time and featured many prominent older generation practitioners, many of whom have passed away since.
It is a valuable insight into the martial arts and as a record of those older generation of practitioners.Here we present this and have digitized it and added English subtitles as well as other information for the world wushu community to be able to enjoy and preserve."
