二、刀术技法特点 Broadsword Techniques Features

中国武术各拳种、流派大都有各自的刀术，风格特点求同存异，各有所长。刀术技法遵循武术兵械技术原理，发挥刀形的攻防特长，形成其技法特色，比较一致的特点可概括为以下几点。

Chinese Wushu of schools have their own knife technique, style features are common while reserving differences.Broadsword techniques follow Wushu Weapons technical principles, play offense and defense expertise of the knife, form its characteristic techniques.More consistent can be summarized as the following.

（一）尖刀背把，刀法分明 Blade facing up, knife close to the back, blade speed is different

刀术的攻防主要体现在刀尖、刀刃、刀背以及支配刀动的把法上。刀尖锐利主于扎；刀刃薄利主于劈、砍、斩、撩；刀背厚钝主于贴身近卫。刀的运动路线与着力点不同，决定其技法的不同。刀术的每一种方法都有着严格的要求，不可混淆。练习者一定要做到路线清晰、力点准确、刀法分明。

Broadsword's attack and defense is mainly reflected in the tip, blade, back of knife and the using of wrist.Sharp tip is mainly used for tie, knife blade can be used to split, cut, behead, stitch, knife back is mainly used to protect themselves.Knife movement routes with different focus points shall determine different techniques.Each method has its own strict requirements, not to be confused.The practicers must have clear routes, power point accurately, knife playing clear.

（二）刀手配合，以腰助力 Instruments and knife's hand to cooperate with each other and use the waist to help force

刀术练习中历来讲究“单刀看手，双刀看走”。所谓“单刀看手”就是要配手，指在刀术套路中持刀手与不持刀手的配合。因此，运动中要求配合应遵循“顺领合击，反向对称”的原理。抹刀、带刀适合顺领，劈刀、砍刀适于合击，扎刀、截刀适于反向对称。腰是上下肢完整一体的中介，无论是大劈大砍的进攻动作，还是贴身缠绕的防守动作，均要求凭借腰部的拧转和身体的屈伸带动器械来完成。因此，身法活便、以腰助力，可加大攻击力度，发挥其猛狠的动势。

Broadsword exercise always pays attention to “single-handedly looking hands, knives looking away”.The so-called “single-handedly looking hands” is to go with the hand, and it refers to the coordination of a hand grasps the broadsword and another empty-hand.Therefore, the movement required to be followed with “Together along the direction of the front, the opposite direction is symmetrical to each other” principle.Spatula and bring knife must follow the direction of the front, riving knife and chopper should use for making a joint attack. Bar knife and cut kinfe should open the knife with both hands symmetrically opposite direction.Waist is the agency of the limbs. whether big chop and big offensive action, or personal wound defensive action, are required by virtue of the waist and body flexion and extension screw turning driven equipment to complete the novements.Therefore, flexibility and agility to help with lumbar action force, increase attack strength, it will play its fierce ruthless momentum.

（三）刀快法诈，诡秘莫测 Knife speed,mysterious and hard to guess

单刀属于短兵器，在与长兵器对抗时，常处于不利的地位。刀快指刀的运行速度要快，刀论中素有“短见长，不可缓”之说，因此无论练习或实战，“刀贵神速，以快取胜”。法诈指刀法运用的“诡秘性、非法性”。 武术历来有“刀走黑”之说，不仅仅指刀法快疾、狠毒、刀下无情，更有“秘密”和“非法”的解释。

Single-broadsword is a short weapon which often at a disadvantage in confrontation with the long weapons.Runing knife fast means speed faster, knife theory known as “If fast enough short instrument when dealing with long weapons, without fear and hesitation”said, so whatever exercises or combat, “Characterized by rapid ferocious knife to speed to get the victory”.Cunning methods refers to the use of the knife, “mysterious and treacherous”.Wushu has “broadsword ferocious and treacherous”,said the skills of the knife not only refers to fast, vicious, ruthless, but alse secret and treacherous.

（四）儇跳超越，步疾刀猛 To deal with the short length, the foot moves fast,the knife moves fierce

刀术在技击中为了达到“持短入长，倏忽纵横”，必须采用敏捷的远跃高跳和迅疾的步法配合凶猛的刀法。因此素有“短见长，脚下忙”的要求，只有足利、身灵、眼锐、手快，在运动中掩饰进攻的意图，才能出其不意地发挥刀的作战功用。刀术中的刀法多在步法的快速移动、奔跑、跳跃中完成，使刀术势如猛虎下山，力劲势猛，锐不可当，展现出一往无前、威武剽悍的运动风格。

In order to achieve “use short instrument to deal with long weapons in the fight against the opponents”, we must adopt agile and far and high jump with swift footwork to coordinate with ferocious blade.Therefore it has a requirement known as “short instrument to deal with long weapons, the knife's footwork busying”, only feet flexibly, body flenily, eyes sharp hands, quickly, hidly the motion attacking intent to play surprise knife combat function.The skills of broadsword more used in the fast-moving footwork, running, jumping etc. Finally, the broadsword show the morement style in motion fierce, strong and very hard to detect the other side, showing the offensive, terrible situation.
