The Pa Kua Sword: In Eight SetsThe Bagua Sword, in Eight Sets
This is one of the longest and most symmetrical of all martial arts sword
forms we've seen to date. While many Pa-Kua sword forms, as well as
many other martial arts sword forms for that matter, are practiced with
only one hand, this form from the very beginning employs both hands in a
balanced symmetrical way. Meaning whatever you do with the right, you do
with the left, and vice-a-versa. Because everything is completely mirrored
in both hand and body, it is sometimes called, "The True Bagua Sword."
A must for those looking to develop symmetry and greater use of their not
so used other hand (be it left or right!). This form is demonstrated twice
from one angle with a genuine combat steel, full size Pa-Kua straight
sword.
