This is part of a series of tapes starring the amazing Shi Debiao, a weapons master of unbelievable skill. In this double disc set, he illustrates one of the rarest of esoteric Kung Fu styles-Hidden Weapons. And though it is an esoteric system, Debiao goes out of his way to emphasize the real applications of these methods. It is a combination of throwing skills (he employs a very loose wristed, snappy throwing style, but he shows it from underhand, overhand, and transverse, or "frisbee" methods), the ability to use everyday items as weapons (chopsticks, screwdrivers, scissors, hatchets, bicycle spokes), specialized weapons (various throwing knives and stars, chemical and flexible weaponry), and these are all applied in order to either close the gap in order to move in, or to get away.
Debiao is able to stick a regular wooden chopstick INTO a wooden target. Pretty impressive.
Highly recommended for anyone into throwing weapons of any kind. |
