The Codified Sequence of Battlefields Martial Arts

« The Sabre-Pike »

( Giáo-Đao )

 


 



Martial-Student from Võ-Trận Đại-Việt Section
inherrent in Bình-Định Sa-Long-Cương School System
was training on horseback fighting for various wielding techniques of Sabre-Pike « Giáo-Đao ».

 

        The Codified Sequence from Tradional Battleields Martial Arts Lineage taching the method of Sabre-Pike Giáo-Đao wielding owns a Coded Poem including 45 Lines of Verses writen in Hán-Nôm, codifying transformations techniques of linked Attacks and Defenses.

        The Sabre-Pike Giáo-Đao is a Polearm very employed in Đại-Việt Medieval Armies. It is in the same time comfortable for training Combattants and comfortable for wielding on foot fightinf as on horseback fighting. Il s'agit-là d'une Arme vraiment utile pour la pédagogie des Etudes d'Arts Martiaux Traditionels, Son maniement fut transmis à la postérité par le feu Grand Maître-Recteur Martial Trương-Bá-Đương du Système d'Ecole Bình-Định Sa-Long-Cương.

       It exists tvery fews persons who find to learn Codified Sequence of the Sabre-Pike Giáo-Đao ; the majority find only to learn Codified Sequences of Vouge Siêu-Đao in view to make demonstrations for only enlivening spectators who don't know Medieval Weapon in the Eighteen Sections Martial Career. Having not yet studied the method of Sabre-Pike Giáo-Đao Spinning, then how these persons make to realizer correctly the Vouge Siêu-Đao Spinning ?! To know the spinning of Balle Staffs Côn & Roi is only a basic knoweledge, while to know the spinning of Sabre-Pique Giáo-Đao and Vouge Siêu-Đao is an another affair completly different, because their conceptual structure is totally different from those of Battle Staffs Con & Roi.
