APPLICATIONS OF THE SWORD AGAINST THE KUAN TOU (2)
Avoiding the Length Advantage of the Kuan Tou
If you attempt to attack a Kuan Tou wielding opponent, he sweeps you with his long, heavy weapon, not only keeping you at bay but may also cut you into pieces. How would you counter such attacks?
Avoiding the Weight Advantage of the Kuan Tou
With his agile footwork, Grandmaster Wong avoids the horizontal sweep of the Kuan Tou by going with its flow, and simultaneously counter-attacks. As Sifu Daniel continues his horizontal sweep, Grandmaster Wong avoids the sweep and counter-attacks again. Sifu Daniel attempts a reverse horizontal sweep. Grandmaster Wong deflects the sweep and counters with a thrust of his sword, taking care he keeps a safe distance from the Kuan Tou's length.
