Bak Jom Dao DVD
by Sifu Sam Hing Fai Chan
In the Bak Jom Dao the knives act as extensions of the hands, utilizing the techniques first learned in the hands forms. This weapon set introduces new body weighting with retreating and advancing footwork.
Practice of the Bak Jom Dao can also improve wrist strength and overall mobility in combat, and can also improve Chi sau skills by applying knife techniques in Chi Sau. Each movement of the knives cuts, slashes, or stabs directly at the centerline of your opponent. The form utilizes movements that are simultaneously offensive and defensive by using the knives in unison

Sam Chan's Wing Chun Bak Jom Dao DVD (60 mins)
Comments: This is one of the better DVDs I've seen on the knives. Even if it is different than your lineage (it's quite different than mine), it is an informative DVD.
Sifu Chan breaks the form down into detail as well as giving applications to the form. In the first couple minutes you see Sam Chan demonstrating a variety of weapons and talking about the swords. You then get the drills for the form, the entire form, then a close up side view and a front view by sections. This take up about 45 minutes of the DVD. The last 18 mins or so show you a couple applications from each section of the form. |
