The Pudao, or ‘Long-Handled Broad Sword’, is the the smallest polearm of the ‘18 Weapons’ of Chinese martial arts. Originally used on horse-back the Pudao combines the strong, heavy-hitting techniques of its heavier cousin the Guan Dao with the speed and athleticism of smaller one-handed weapons featuring rapid sweeping and chopping techniques, fast movement and agile jumps.

Master Tang will guide you step-by-step through the essential techniques needed to master the Pudao. You will learn simple and complex movements, movement combinations, and then learn a full routine as performed by All-China Champion, Qiu Dongxing.
