Green Dragon Crescent Moon Knife

This is a famous Guan Dao set known as Green Dragon Crescent Moon Knife from Uncle Righteousness lineage. Grandmaster Wong learned this set in the 1970s from his siheng (elder kungfu brother) who specially went to Soon Tuck Wooi Koon in Penang (Association of People from Soon Tuck District of South China, where Grandmaster Wong had his first kungfu lessons in the 1950s) to teach him.

Guan Dao (Kuan Tou in Cantonese), which means Guan Knife, is a long, heavy weapon. It is named after Guan Yu, a great warrior of the Three-Kingdom Period in Chinese warring history. Guan Yu is now worshipped as the God of Righteousness.
