This is a practical routine in Shaolinquan. Movements such as plant, hammer and strike should be conducted forcefully and quickly as if he was fighting a tiger in a forest. While performing, you should move like the wind, stand like a nail with your eyes as bright as lightning, or flash your punches on the enemy. All of the movements are conducted almost in one breath.

Ok good DvD except one thing for you people out there thinking this is a cool weapon don't get me wrong it is 100% but my advise to you is find someone that can teach you how to use your body with this weapon because it is Dangerous and you could really hurt yourself really badly because you have to use your body with kind of weapon and it moves really fast and there is no room for error one slip and that's it to the hospital you go trust me I have the real deal and I want even touch them, but I also have the fake ones to so I can practice with so I suggest you do the same. As for a trainer my brother is more experience then I so he is going to teach me this weapon method Again good luck and as always have a nice day : ) and practice hard

Great - but NOT the 'real traditional Shao Lin kung fu' as advertised
amazing techniques presented, but... and I know I will come off sounding like a grumpy old man here, but it saddens me how wushu - a demonstration sport developed by the Chinese government - is being passed off as 'traditional kung fu'. (Yes, I know the literal translations of the words, but I am using the accepted vernacular of popular society. To the average Joe, Chinese martial arts = kung fu. Hell, most don't even know the word wushu) I guarantee you that actual Shaolin monks in 1800, just to pick a year at random from the not-so-distant past, did NOT do 36 handsprings in a row, 3 butterfly kicks and a twisting somersault whilst perfecting their forms. This overly-acrobatic, everything at the speed of light 'martial art' is certainly making money for the parties involved, but it's truly doing a disservice to the cultural heritage that is CHINESE KUNG FU. The world-famous Wong Fei-hung himself didn't do backflips in passing down his art to his students, not because he was getting to old to do it anymore, but because that stuff was NEVER part of the system in the first place.

Very informative DVD
Its sometimes difficult to follow due to the nature of training with the three section staff, but this video does a pretty good job of breaking down the movements into sections so they can be done in phases. It even shows movements in slow motion and different angles so the viewer can get the idea where hand placement is supposed to be and how the movements are supposed to look.
