單刀法選 (Dan Dao Fa Xuan) is an ancient 400-year-old Chinese sword
manual written during the Ming Dynasty when China faced an invasion
from the Japanese pirates.
The art of the Chinese Long-Saber is documented in this ancient
manual, however it is no longer in practice. Using previous martial
arts experience, the Instructor will teach from the ancient manual
itself to bring these ancient sword techniques back to life from
the Ming Dynasty.
Students will each be given a photocopy of the ancient manual
itself, and be taught to read and interpret classical Chinese, so
as to fully appreciate this ancient Chinese manual, the art of
Chinese Long-Saber, and the history of Japanese pirate invasion
during the Ming-Dynasty.

The Chinese Long-Saber, Miao Dao, is not rather rare weapon and

overseas: http://www.little-raven.com/RS/MA/Do.html (scroll
down all the way). Or we can use a regular Bokken or Jo.
