Outstanding work by Ila Cantor on the expert level, Plum Blossom Double Dragons Paired Swords!!!

Grandmaster Wong Jackman taught three straight sword forms as part of his Northern Shaolin Curriculum. The three forms are Dragon Phoenix Sword, Plum Blossom Double Dragons Paired Swords, and Three Combinations Partner Sword Sparring Form. These are all actually from the Wudang mountain lineage of Taoist Swordsmanship. They exemplify classical sword practice and are truly magnificent forms.

In this stunning photo set Ila Cantor is performing poses from Plum Blossom Double Dragons Paired Swords.

    Ha-Ha! I used the word “stunning” in my earlier comment before reading the text, where the first descriptor was “stunning”. I guess that means Ila and the photographs are truly stunning.
