  單刀法é�¸ (Dan Dao Fa Xuan) is an ancient 400-year-old Chinese sword manual written during the Ming Dynasty when China faced an invasion from the Japanese pirates. 
  
  The art of the Chinese Long-Saber is documented in this ancient manual, however it is no longer in practice. Using previous martial arts experience, the Instructor will teach from the ancient manual itself to bring these ancient sword techniques back to life from the Ming Dynasty. 
  
  Students will each be given a photocopy of the ancient manual itself, and be taught to read and interpret classical Chinese, so as to fully appreciate this ancient Chinese manual, the art of Chinese Long-Saber, and the history of Japanese pirate invasion during the Ming-Dynasty.

  There is a total of 35 stances documented in the manual. Upon completion, a Certificate of Completion will be presented by Historical Combat Association (Singapore). All training is based on actual combat-practical body mechanics and timing.

  Training fee per session is $10 for 1.5hours.
  Class size is limited at a maximum of 10, to maintain quality.
  Timing can be arranged to suit majority's schedule. By default, it will be 10am on Sundays.

  The Chinese Long-Saber, Miao Dao, is not rather rare weapon and not readily found in Singapore. You can buy from overseas: http://www.little-raven.com/RS/MA/Do.html (scroll down all the way). Or we can use a regular Bokken or Jo.
