Double Sword Flower - Senseless Spinning - double stick, sabers and whipchain So here’s an embarrassing fact, in over 20 years of Chinese martial arts training, both modern and traditional, we never trained these double sword flowers on a target. Even in choreographed partner sets, moves like this never had a purpose. In fact, sword and staff spinning, though practically in almost all forms, has become largely flashy and ornamental with very little functionality. In kali, l learned these as part of a chain strike drill… starting in a chamber position and striking a downward 1, 2 then a reverse 1…. In fact if you use the target training for double weapons training in CMA, the moves are very similar just taught in a different order and not starting from a chamber position. Actually it’s a REALLY good drill to change from the kali strikes RRR LLL to the actual target hitting pattern in Chinese sword which would be RL (cross arms and the trapped arm does downward strike) L LRR… this trains
