[2023] It's Guanyu! Pan Hongshen - Guandao - 8.97 - Traditional Wushu Taolu National Championships 

All right! But what China and Brazil waiting for to do according to comercial transition throught Yen? Well in true it's happening so early. The goverment thouse countries ready doing it. They believe Brazil couldn't to Just depend on dollar no more. Dollar will be not the only.

I am not quite sure what you mean by that.

Guanyu didn't die on battlefield but beheaded after being captured.

It was Sun Quan. And the horse was given to a Wu General Ma Zhong as a reward (The Green Dragon was given to another general Pan Zhang). Ma Zhong also fatally wounded Huang Zhong in the battle, but two turncoats killed him after the battle and tried surrendering to Shu. Too bad for them, Liu Bei was having none of it (they also surrendered to Wu to save their own asses after Guan Yu threatened them with capital punishment) and got Guan Xing to behead them both. As for Pan Zhang, during a chance encounter with Guan Xing where they took shelter in a hut, Pan Zhang was stunned by Guan Yu's ghost and killed by Xing. The weapon was thus reclaimed.

If I'm not mistaken, he was caught while sleeping and drunk, and beheaded

@@leondee918 Nah, that was his other sworn brother Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's brutish and unreasonable nature makes him a terrible superior to work with. His alcohol addiction, hot temper and recklessness got him in trouble back in Lu Bu's days when the latter sought asylum under Liu Bei. Even though Guan Yu can put his resentment aside for the sake of a common goal, Zhang Fei didn't. He got drunk and abused Lu Bu's henchman and gave Lu Bu a pretext to take XuZhou. Too bad for him, this made him unpopular, and he was assassinated when his deadlines proved impossible to meet. "LB: Please don't abuse your subordinates nor get drunk" (Proceeds to do exactly that and got assassinated for the trouble).

That War Horse belonged to the great general Lu Bu. Lu Bu is the only warrior who could beat Guan Yu in battle.

Missing the signature beard though..

He needs an angry red face with a beard.

yeah yeah ur right. Missing the red face and the beard but his moves does really matters

jiayou!

Really? using a tin foil floppy blade? Guan Yu bones are turning in the grave...

@@hclau218 Real weapons are not allowed mate. Thatz why the floppy thin blade. Same applies to all competitors.

@@ftd7435 Don't need to be sharp weapon, just a bit of respect to use firm blades.

I think the same Is so beautiful

Exactly my words!

I was thinking the same.

The flappiness of the blade in the video distracts me a lot. "Quan Dao" is famous for its heaviness. Not that it must be that heavy for stage performance, but at least don't make it flap so easily like those flappy sword! It is worse than painting a wooden blade in silver.

I’m with you guys, I couldn’t take this demonstration seriously because of the wobbly blade and flappy foil sound no matter how good the practitioner actually is.

De đẹp mat thoi

Disgrace, you mean.. 😂😂

but thicker blades dont make cool sound

Nah.. the sound is nice😂

the weapon is for chopping legs off of horses and would have been floppy in that time period due to metal temperament. a heavy thick blade wouldnt swing fast enough to chop a speeding horse. it would have been a rigid sharp razor like blade thick only on one side. the back of the guanyu was hard with a hook and the front was floppy with a razor blade of steel. the other end had a spike

​@@DoctorP007 Nope. Blade that thin would've crumbled like a piece of aluminum foil when hit on a thick surface like horse hide. Ever heard of structure integrity?

Agree. If this was used for a real war, then there is a high chance the blade will hit a hard surface. It should be thicker, or at least stronger. "It will be heavy if it's thicker" Bro, that's why not everyone capable of using it. It's for the strong and skillful one.

No bounce at all. The carpet does give a slight bit of cushion compared to a hard floor of course

@@bluehippofilms thank you so much. I did one gymnastics competition in China and the floor was used by a wushu demo after we were done and it's confused me ever since. Makes sense though, the wushu athletes looked like they were having the time of their lives on our floor haha

Its not traditional. These wushu routines were created in the early 1900s. The running back and forth seems really out of place in these routines.

@@BestMods168 then I'll say it again: "it was still very impressive 😊"

​@@BestMods168it's not traditional, it's for artistic expression and athletes sometimes become action stars

假的刀，中国对武器有限制的，实材的刀一般重得多而且刀片是不会这么晃悠的，吴三桂的关刀有保存至今。

Wushu weapons used for performances are designed to be lighter and more flexible than the real ones. It’s mostly for aesthetics- the movement and reflections enhance the fast movements. They also make it slightly easier to judge- weapons that aren’t swung hard or fast enough aren’t as loud.

I know, I know. He should have gone for the beard!

You didn't see him stroking his beard?

不是 ，不会杀战马，失去战士道德荣誉，，这是高阶武器，力量大的战士才能使用流畅，关羽大长刀的优点太多了，攻击时武器有很多变化，可以反转大刀变为刺，大转一圈使出的重型攻击，从下向上的重型攻击，敌人很难格档，被格档以后，大刀可以转90度水平横扫削敌人的手腕，，进攻的过程中有很多的变化，，当你格档住了大长刀，其实是很危险的，
