Kung Fu Guan Dao Description

Kung Fu Guan Dao have a long history in China and many similar looking weapons across the world have developed completely independently. Credited to have been developed by the Famous Chinese general Guan Yu in the 3^rd century. Now known in west by being “the warrior on the shelf in Chinese take away’s”. Some heavyweight kung fu Guan Dao exist, with the purpose for weight training and building strength drills. However, most Kung Fu Guan Dao these days are fairly lightweight, just like this one.  

Kung Fu Guan Dao have a large blade on one end, made from flexible sprung steel, this is able to bend about 90 without any problem. it isn't as flexible as the Wushu broadswords but still makes a wobbling sound when moved around. Traditionally this woudl be used for slashing and cutting, they are sometimes called Horse knives for reasons you can probably imagine. The other end has a spike which acts as a counterweight but also can be used for striking and stabbing. These spikes have rings looped in along the edges of the three ridged spike. Between is a wooden staff which is about 5ft in length. 

This weapon is all about maintaining momentum and the Chinese Kung Fu forms you see nearly all have this in them, with spins and twirls and upward cuts being the main focus of the pattern.
