Reconstructing the Hanwei Pudao Part I: Building a beast

It’s difficult to find a historically accurate Guandao for practice, unless you’re willing to fork out the big bucks to have someone make you one by hand. In this video, I talk about converting the Hanwei pudao into a reasonably accurate late-Ming style zhanmadao 斬馬刀, a good stand in for a Guandao. It's a beast of a polearm! For more information on historical Guandao, check out my video “What is a Guandao? Part I: Shape, length, and weight”:    • What is a Guandao? Part I: Shape, Length, ...   Secretly Transmitted Methods of the Guandao is my series for discussing all things Guandao. The Guandao is a weapon that has been used in Chinese martial arts for several centuries. It is a pole weapon with a large crescent blade at one end and a spike at the other end. I examine the Guandao from the perspectives of traditional and historical martial arts, history, performance, and religion.
