One of my favorite Chinese kung fu weapons is the double edge sword, or gim. If you missed my episode on the staff / stick, check it out to hear the ongoing series of the history and philosophy behind these ancient Chinese kung fu weapons.

If you decide to join me on YouTube, you’ll see some of the visuals that go along with the episode and get to see some of the Wah Lum Cultural Center

I hope you have been enjoying these episodes on traditional kung fu and stories of my martial arts journey. For those of you who do not do martial arts, but are interested in the cultural and traditional aspects then I think you will equally enjoy this episode.

For the Mulan fans out there, I share some of the stories from behind the scenes while making the animated classic. I’ve been getting a lot of Mulan related questions lately, so feel to submit more and leave comments.
