Ian - Snakes & Ladder lyrics

[Hook: William Naoil] I walk through the long enough Hitting with the swords, when the knight is coming out Why do I saying there's a lie down the floor Behold from the snakes and ladder! [Verse 1: Ian] Sword versus Sword Sparring Form I learned this form from Sifu Wong Jackman Sifu Wong taught three sword forms that He stated where from the Wu Dang Sword Lineage of Li Jin Ling, Sifu Li Jin Ling Was considered to be the greatest Chinese swordsman Of the 20th century and lived in the early part of the century Sifu Li brought many of the nearly lost methods Of Chinese swordsmanship back to life Sifu Wong Jackman taught the two person sword set along With the Tai Chi Sword, Dragon Phoenix Sword And Plum Blossom Straight Sword, as a great Cohesive sword curriculum [Verse 2: Anthony Naoil] Two person sword sets Are very rare in the world of Chinese martial arts I have only seen one, or two, others in the last thirty years The Sword versus Sword Sparring Form is about 40 moves per side There are many repetitions of important techniques and many other unique moves Both sides of the form are rather similar This makes it easy to learn Because each person gets to do almost all the moves It can be a little difficult to to learn both sides though People who are used to seeing Sword fights in movies will be Surprised by how this form works The most noticeable thing is that two swords Never clash, or touch In fact, there are no blocking techniques in the form What so ever, instead, each player Uses their footwork and agility to dodge or evade Each of their partners cuts and thrusts Often, you will evade at the same time You begin your own counter attack This forces your opponent to drop their own attack and evade Your counter attack [Hook: (ghost singing in the background)] [Verse 3: Sam Fuel] The whole form can be seen as a series of attacks Evasions and clever counter attacks That follow one after another It is really fun! Learning this form really helps you to Understand the sword techniques In any sword form whether it is Tai Chi sword Wu Dang sword, or any other type of sword form, in particular It will open your eyes to nature of each of the cuts And how they might be really used [Hook:] Jumpin' in the elevator Behave the soul's coming home back in the years How many times do you have to tell you Behold from the snakes and ladder!
