Footwork: few different ways to move forward and backwards, sideways, and to ROTATE to face an opponent when he's moving to your side.

found this place for a lot of detailed wushu reference

I've seen that before, but it's been a while... and it's a lot more "bloody" than I remembered. 1:51-1:54

You call that Bloody!?

This is bloody!!

There's a reason I called it "bloody", as opposed to Bloody!

Nice animation, but you missed the stomach of the bokken guy being sliced open. There are many parts where one or both "dies", but the ones where both are "hit" are more rare.

Yeah, well, I was kind of focusing on the throat being slit apart.
It's more appealing than the torso-stab.

Also, I'm not really an expert at animating stuff, I just made this in photoshop in about 20 minutes for lulz.

20 minutes? Holy crap you're slow.

Save your insincerity.

Two-handed sword vs one-handed sword (large and small jian, both Chinese). It's a nice group of applications, and perhaps because of the slow speed there's lots of detail shown in the video that would make for excellent counters. I didn't get the second block, the one where there's a low stab and the older guy raises his foot to the air, but it gets better after that.

I only link to it because embedding doesn't let you to choose a place, and the first five minutes show off the guy's sword collection, a smith who made some of the swords, various forms etc.

Yeah, me neither. Though I bet it makes a lot of sense to him

A little bit of Naginata goodness

Baji by a guy called Su Yu-Chang. Great moves, first in full speed and then slowed down.

I just went through this thread and looked at some of the videos that seemed more informative and interesting than others. Some of these moves would be totally badass to have in Overgrowth. Anyway, Endoperez, keep posting more videos. So far these are all ranging from mildy-awesome to awesome.
