So far, just woke up!

Have a private lesson in a couple hours. Going to head over to the school shortly and workout a bit. Started working with the 'horse knife' lately. Hoping it will limber me up a bit.

What is a horse knife?

What is a horse knife?

It's of the Kwan Dao family. Here's a little description that I found out there ...

Traditional Horse Knife

Known by many names (Horse Knife, Chai Dao, Thieves’ Encampment Sword, Pu Dao, etc.), the Horse Knife is a member of the Tai Dao (long-handled broadsword) family and is the brother of the infamous Kwan Dao. Its blade, unlike most long-handled broadswords, is a full-length chrome steel broadsword blade (stiff) and it is especially heavy and broad compared to the single-handed weapons for incredible chopping force. Where the broadsword slices by drawing its curved blade across the target, the Horse Knife brutally hacks in a fashion more similar to a machete or cudgel. By virtue of its long handle and ring-shaped counterbalance, the Horse Knife is far from unwieldy and has many techniques in common with both the staff and Kwan Dao.

... there, that explains it all ... LOL
