Hey,

 

Hey all, I have a pair of crescent blades and I am creating some katas for them for competition, has anyone ever seen them before? If not, contact me and I'll send you a picture of them.

Are you talking about the kung fu weapon? If so I know what you are talking about. What do you need to know?

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to point at him and laugh

If you are indeed talking about the kung fu weapon, they are also called crescent moon blades/knives, hook swords, deer horn knives, or mandarin duck blades. As far as I know they are only used in the Bagua/Pakua style. I have seen a few different forms for these, I have a few on VCDs imported from China, and there are great resources available at YMAA.com

 

This book on Emei Baguazhang is fabulous and has a chapter on the weapon. http://store.yahoo.com/ymaa/bagandap.html

 

And there is a companion video series, volume 3 has the hook sword forms and applications. They even have a video clip you can watch. http://store.yahoo.com/ymaa/embagvol3bag.html
