SCOTT M. RODELL PRESENTS

Practical Dadao

實用大刀術

The Complete Form and Martial Applications

The Practical Dadao System was developed for Chinese Soldiers during the Early Republic and designed to meet a bayonet head on. At that time, military rifles only carried 5 rounds and were slow to reload. Every army of the period drilled bayonet fighting extensively. The Chinese answered by drawing on their long tradition of two-handed saber fighting.

 

In this course, you will learn the entire Practical Dadao Form (實用大刀術), created by Jin Enzhong, to train troops. Every Form lesson is followed by an in-depth presentation of the Martial Applications of the movements facing a bayonet. Basic Cuts and Solo Drills are also covered. Jin published his manual in 1933.

 

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • The Comlete Form created by Jin Enzhong 

  • Partnered Martial Applications for Each Posture

  • The History of the Dadao

  • How To Use a Dadao in Full Contact Freeplay against a Bayonet
