Great speed, timing, choreography, and technique! For those that haven't trained in 2-person fight sequences with weapons, it's waaaaay harder than it looks.

Fantastic two man set! Easily one of the better ones I've seen. Great tempo and control of range. The gong fu (hard work) definitely shows here!

Really cool, normally I'd expect hook swords to whoop spear since they could just disarm him or break his spear immediately, but he was really skilled and did better than I thought.

That was pretty awesome. I've always liked Kung Fu, even though I train MMA. The Shaolin monks are heroes to me and seeing those hook swords in action was pretty sweet.

i love how hook swords can easily (if used correctly) disarm and beat an opponent. And the fact that you can use one hook sword to swing the other for a farther reach is amazing. Hook swords are in my opinion one of the best close combat weapons.

@ishimorikuma answer: yes they did, in fact it was one of the most popular shaolin monk weapons along with the rope dart and staff or spear, as well as to a lesser extent the chain whip.

The hook swords were being used defensively as to avoid getting hit by the spear tip. It is incredibly difficult to get in close to an opponent welding a spear. Many 2 person weapon sets involve defense against the spear as that weapon has the advantages of reach and sharp edge, and speed.

Correct me if I am wrong, I am certainly not as experienced in martial arts as many other people are, but this seems choreographed to me. If this is choreographed does anyone know of any examples of non-choreographed twin hook sword sparing?
@terrybranch1987

A 2 man set is choreographed. From what I've seen, 2 man sets are generally used to get a feel for executing techniques that are too dangerous for free sparring. When it comes to hook swords, you probably won't find a full-speed free sparring vid.

Yea I didn't think there would be a full speed sparring video with sharpened metal hook swords but I have seen plenty of full speed sparring with several other edged weapons be it wooden or metal. What I was asking was if there was some HEMA or something similar to HEMA that had some hook sword sparring in it. I would be very interested to see someone using the hook sword in a full speed sparring match.

This is a kung fu school in Wisconsin, I trained there for three months so I would know. As for the medals, they may or may not be wushu medals i dont know but it doesn't necessarily mean the double hook swords vs spear is wushu. This is traditional bei shaolinquan which is more true to its lineage unlike wushu which is more of a present day style .

Yep....a set pattern (Two man (Person to be more PC) weapons fighting set). Usually kung fu systems that's been around for awhile have them....so the practitioners can train their distance awareness and apply their moves in sparring without hurting your training partner.

I know its a form so its also done for show and to display, but there is a point at about 0:32 that it the spear user has a glaring opening that the hook swords user could have literally dug the swords straight into his back. The form is really expertly done, but a spear user can not afford the luxury of exposing his back in close quarters like a shorter range weapon user can.

Need to keep deflecting the spear if you don't want to lose a lung or two. And he is going after the man, but just at openings, not all the time.

Tis practice not fake, as people rather not fight to the death while learning how to use a weapon they tend to move a little slower then in a real fight, more just trying to figure out how to handle it all. The guy with the hook blades for example kept turning his back on the spear-men, while the spear-men seemed to take extra pains to slow down for the hook blade user. Fun.
