SBN Doug Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 O.k., it's not the most macho weapon we learn, to say the least. However, they are part of our system. Has anyone done any work with fans? I'll start on them after I get my 3rd degree (~3 more yrs). We also will learn double short sword durring that same level, so it kind of off sets the fans.

moobrack Posted November 30, 2001 Posted November 30, 2001 I don't work with the fans but I do know that they are a very popular Wushu weapon and the forms done with them are excellent. The double short sword are a wing chun weapon also, do you study Wing Chun? _________________ Anthony Bullock 1st Dan Shotokan Karate Karate International Black Belt Schools (UK) (Moderator of health and fitness forum) http://www.karateforums.co.uk [ This Message was edited by: moobrack on 2001-11-30 07:55 ] Anthony Bullock1st Dan Black Belt - Shotokan Karate5th Kyu Yellow Belt - Aiki-Jutsuhttps://www.universaldojo.com Coming Soon
SBN Doug Posted November 30, 2001 Author Posted November 30, 2001 Actually, no. I study Kuk Sool Won (Korean). But I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it migrated over from a Wing Chung influence. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
SaiFightsMS Posted December 1, 2001 Posted December 1, 2001 You may not think of them as particularly masculine but I think they look very interesting. And if you need to attain that rank to start working with them there must be a difficulty factor.

SBN Doug Posted December 3, 2001 Author Posted December 3, 2001 I think the reason behind them being reserved for after 3rd degree is that you must have obtained enough ambidextrous (sp?) skills before starting. We train in a number of other weapons leading up to it. Yes, there are extremely interesting to watch. Very deceptive as to their potency.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 Sounds really great Doug. Please promise to come back and tell us all what they are like to work with after you get started? Please???
SBN Doug Posted December 4, 2001 Author Posted December 4, 2001 Don't hold you breath. I have to wait another 2 1/2 yrs before I'm allowed to begin testing for third degree. I will let you know, however. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
