Bruce, I had to post this because your thread totally got me. Sorry to steal your style!
So I was hanging out with John Wang last weekend and we were having a great time training. I asked if we could do some weapon training, because I never do it and have never asked.
John- "Great, no problem. The first thing I will teach you is the Miao Dao. It is a big two handed sword, but the form will work for any big weapon like that with a blade."
Me- "Like a big axe or sledge hammer?"
John- "Sure, it will work for that, too."
Me- "Great! I need to get ready for the zombie invasion. I need something good to train for zombies!"
John doesn't skip a beat- "This is perfect for fighting zombies."
