Southern Shaolin Weapons Systems
The Southern Shaolin Weapons systems incorporates
a wide variety of weapons. In fact at Nam Yang Martial
Arts we teach over 30 weapons systems from swords through to
axes, spears to staffs. Less common by fearsome weapons include
the three-section staff and the Tiger Fork. There are
a variety of specialised weapons developed by and
unique
to
the
Shaolin
Martial Arts.
Training in Shaolin Weapons normally is preceded by
study in the empty handed forms of Shaolin Kung Fu. Weapons
are very good for strengthening the student's musculature and
the opportunity to practice training between armed and unarmed
combatants is a useful self defense training exercise in these
days when knives, bottles and even baseball bats have been
drawn on people.
Shuang Yang Pei Ho also includes a form which is performed
with a sword with the emphasis on movement on the internal
energy. It is a slow, relaxed form that allows those with injury or age
to enjoy the benefits of weapons training without the intense
physical extertions typical of Kung Fu training.
