There’s a lot to be said for learning to strike in one direction while stepping in the other. The trick is to have all your weight present for that moment before moving on. . . . . #sword #swords #warriors #martialartslife #focus #training #weapons #swordstrikes #instadaily #instagood #instahealth #instalife #picoftheday #photooftheday #photography #goldcoast #martialarts
It's hard to gauge the length of a weapon when it's pointed at you. This frame takes advantage of that for both the sword and the fan. It's also a snapshot of a movement where the fan side has cleared and the sword stabbed an exposed target.

The combination of fan and sword, a trademark of Phoenix Arts, allows the practitioner to work on many different skills at once. Not to mention the practice of stillness and silence combined with dynamic movement and a loud noise. Fans if you didn't know, can be quite loud. . . . . . . #sword #swords #warriors #martialartslife #focus #training #weapons #swordstrikes #instadaily #instagood #instahealth #instalife #picoftheday #photooftheday #fan #fans #awesome #cool #fun

One of the first strikes we learn is the downwards attack. It's like the front kick. It appears to the be the easiest. Yet it's not necessarily the easiest. They're the fastest to be used straight away most of the time. But they have a wonderful multitude of progression steps for the student if they wish to delve deeper.

The lead side strikes the legs and the secondary sword is ready to sweep up or down depending on how the other responds. Phoenix Arts have sequences that it practices to start with, but at its core it focuses on Core Concepts and one of those is of Movement over Sequence. In a fight, the correct move is the correct movement for that moment...not from a predetermined sequence you learned beforehand. . . . . #sword #swords #fans #awesome #cool #fun #strength #coordination #goldcoast #broadwaterparklands #southportspit #instadaily #instagood #instahealth #epic #pretty #picoftheday #photooftheday #photography #beach #strength #power #swordstrikes #doublesword #twoswords #movement #skill
Cutting is a technique. You can learn to cut paper with a wooden sword, a plastic sword or a dull edged aluminium sword. So it’s not always the tool but the technique. However, a good cutting tool with good technique is always preferable.

If the shoulders and wrists are correct you can cut from any place." But that doesn't mean you don't work on the body that powers it or the flow of kinetic energy up from the feet.

Moving Art to being functional is a constant cycle for martial artists. Phoenix Arts starts with the functional for immediate use and then introduces the art which we then ensure is functional. And so on. Know whether you train for functional use or to look aesthetically pleasing: it can mean the difference between life and death. . . . . . . . . . . #swords #sword #swordstrikes #martialarts #martialartsgirls #karate #wow #training #active #art #functionaltraining #aesthetic #fun #photography #canonphotography #fitness #likeforlikes #likeforfollow #likeforlikeback #like4likeback #instagram #instadaily #photo #business #martialartsfun #girl #warrior #motivation #boxing #goldcoast

Ronin doesn't know that I secretly filmed him. I asked him to show a sword technique he had created for a one armed swordsman. There's a few Chinese style swings mixed with a lot of traditional Japanese style cuts. #ronin #iaido #wushu #japanesestyle #chinesestyle #swordstrikes #percisioncuts #bushido #roninstyle
