Ci Dao - Wushu Pudao

This video shows how to do a pudao stab ( in chinese: ci dao ). Hold the pudao with a left over-grip and a right under-grip ( see video ). Then extend the weapon with your right arm ( arm parallel to stick ). The left hand stops close to the right shoulder. Stab the blade of the sword horizontally, not vertically. Most pudao stabs are executed at head height and the left leg is raised like shown here. This is the most basic pudao stab, but of course there are also other stab variations at different heights and positions.
