Ancient Chinese Secret! (not really)
When I began learning weapons I asked Jimmy, “when a student demonstrated with a staff weapon with a blade, how do you keep track of the direction of your blade when doing a fast form”? Some of those would be a spear, quan do, pa, etc. He said you should take a tool like a sander, a file, chisel, sharp knife
the edge is. Now you that demo the staff don’t need to make that cut, heh heh
