The Green Dragon Crescent Moon Knife demonstrated by Grandmaster Wong

The vdieo clips below are put together to help course participants to the Intensive Weapon Course of June 2006 to review the Green Dragon Crescent Moon Knife. Please note that here the set is purposefully performed slowly with pauses in between patterns so that course participants can see the movements more easily. When you are familiar with the movements, they should be performed fast and smoothly as sequences rather than as individual patterns.

When Grandmaster Wong applied force in a horizontal sweep while teaching it, the shaft broke into two. The bladed part of the weapon was then lashed onto another shaft. But when Grandmaster Wong later made a reverse sweep, the blade came out of the shaft. We regret that the set, therefore, had to be taught with an improvised staff acting as a Kwan Tou.
