The Bandit Knife: Kung Fu's Rebellious Weapon Book & DVD by Ted Mancuso

Why practice a weapon 1000 years old? What are the special properties of this Kung Fu instrument? What lessons can a martial artist learn from it? And where does it stand in history?

Ted Mancuso has been teaching for 40 years. In this unique approach, he picks a relatively rare armament from the Kung Fu weapons rack and uses it to cut through mysteries of the martial arts.

This book does not merely teach a form, it explores the little known

fact that many of Kung Fu's most effective and unsuspected fighting techniques were developed out of armed warfare, not hand-to-hand combat. By handling the Bandit Knife and its principles in a new way, he explores a martial tradition of over 1000 years.

Practice the weapon, learn the form, spar with the applications. Each move will show you a new view of this ageless art.
