The demo is done with a wushu dao,
while still using the mechanics of a much heaver weapon.

Some of my friend's work...

This guy is one of my favourite tai chi guys
That is the traditional yang form
I don’t really like that form
My form comes down from Jungle fighters from WW2
I started FMA because I wasn’t sure how practical my tai chi sword form was
In the end I realised nothing was missing
My FMA teacher became a long time student
My tai chi teacher has a large scar on his upper arm where a Koockrie cut deep enough to chip the bone
I myself have been in two knife fights where I took the knife off the attacker
One before I started training one in my first couple of years of training
So I take blade training seriously
An ex student holds black belts in both KI and Lemeco
He came to stay with me showed me his Tulisan knife fighting
I showed him how to use the broadsword Jian and san shou forms with a knife
He was blown away
