長鎗法選 (Chang Qiang Fa Xuan) is an ancient Chinese Long-Spear manual from 400-years ago, 長鎗法選 (Chang Qiang Fa Xuan), which was written by 程宗猷 (Cheng Zong You) during the Ming Dynasty, when the Japanese pirates fought with the Ming soldiers.

Below is a video of my interpretation of Stance 1 to 9.
There are a total of 18 drawn stances in the manual.

Hope you like it! =)

The only thing your demo shows is why you don't learn martial art from books. Find a legit teacher if you really want to learn spear, although you might have a hard time finding one with all the frauds out there.

Is that a waxwood pole? Do you do any pole shaking? Are there any references in that text to poleshaking?
