The Intermediate Weapons

Intermediate weapons take your skill to a whole new level.  The foundation weapons are revisited but using two weapons instead of a single one, creating ambidextrous skills.  In addition, you will learn the Sai, a fast and versatile pair of weapons and the Jo staff, giving greater range and defensive capabilities with what is essentially, a long walking stick.

Tao Te Kung Fu Chinese Martial Arts Weapons

We all hope that we will never need to use a weapon, however we live in a complex and changing world in which none of us know what the future holds and while we don’t know what exactly will happen or where, we can be sure that some people, at some time, will be glad they learned or wish they had learned to use some sort of weapon.

It is also true that there is almost no child that hasn’t at some point, picked up a stick and pretended it was a sword.  We all play, pretending to have weapons, whether on a computer screen or with a toy.  Even puppies play at fighting, it’s what mammals do, it’s built into us to find it fun.

The weapons and the forms that you will learn through Kung Fu Living are chosen and developed to give you the widest range of transferable skills.  This means that in almost any situation you will be able to pick up almost anything and have the maximum chance of using it as a weapon successfully.  For example, the Tanto is great for developing fast footwork and quick reactions.  The Nunchucks develop coordination and three-dimensional spatial awareness as they force you into learning new patterns that are easily transferred to other areas of your Kung Fu.  Staff work is great for teaching you to redirect your opponent’s weight and force and some swords encourage very precise targeting while others help develop your abilities to counter and deflect quickly.
