They came out to perform at a Relay For Life in CA. The event was hosted by the American Cancer Society.

Cool Eagle Claw.

They do any Praying Mantis by chance?  Do not think mantis is part of the syllabus but thought I would ask.

Great pictures. On the fifth one, is the end of the sword flexing? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm out of my element when it comes to blades that big.

Griz, yes, those are the "wushu" doas (broadswords)--very light and flexible training swords.  We use them in mantis in studying the dao to show body power (using the waist to project power).  They snap when power is applied correctly.

Light and flexible but they still hurt when hit your limbs or back of your head when doing plum blossoms!

Damn shame that they gave Bruce Lee's part to David Carradine in Kung Fu.

Thanks for the answer. It gives a good indication of the power behind it when the tip ripples like that.
