I would like to ask everyone, particularly the hard stylists here, a question about soft style weapons forms at tournaments. When you see soft stylists do weapons in competition, which Chinese weapons do you prefer to see?

It is hard for Japanese, Okinawan and Korean Stylist to judge chinese soft style weapons. I myself usually bow out and let someone else judge. However when I do judge chinese weapons. I like to see the double broad swords and the whirling spear.

What do you folks think about Chinese staffs and 3 section staffs?

The chinese staff is different, I would need to see it up close to have a real opinion. But from what I've seen from the 3 section staff, the martial artist would need to really know what he is doing to immpress me. I've seen a very high ranking TKDist do a 3 section staff form on a DVD and it was bad.

As a hard and soft stylist. I like to see, tiger hooks, Broadsword, Tiger Fork, and Daggers.

Yep. I've worked with the 3 sectional, and it goes one of two ways. Either it is the most impressive thing since sliced bread, or it's a travesty. It's a really hard weapon to make look really smooth.
