The Mandarin Duck Knives are sometimes referred to as the “Deer Horn Knives” in other styles of Ba Gua Zhang. The Liang Style Duck Knives have their own unique design and method of usage. The Duck Knife form introduces the student to edged weapons, while developing smooth unbroken movements and refined body mechanics.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn both the basic movements of the Duck Knives and the entire Liang Style Mandarin Duck Knife Form as taught by Ba Gua Master Gao Ji Wu. We will also cover selected applications against the straight sword and spear

The Duck Knives impart a quality of exacting precision to the movements of the body, hands, and Mind-Intention that is applicable to both empty-hand methods and other edged weapons.

Requirements:

· A pair of Mandarin Duck Knives. If you don’t have a pair of knives they can be ordered prior to the class.

· Participants should already be familiar with the basics of Ba Gua Circle Walking and the Single and Double Palm changes.
