HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Eight Technique Big Spear (Bafa Da Qiang) also known as the Big Pole is a legendary long weapon system with deep military roots. Formed in 1906 shortly before the Revolution of 1911 this system represents a synthesis of the most practical spear techniques from the Yue family Pear-flower and Liuhe traditions. Historically the Big Spear was a mandatory subject for military training particularly for cavalry and infantry officers who required a weapon of significant reach and power. Master Wu Shijun a national master and judge preserves the authentic lineage of this system which avoids decorative flourishes in favor of raw combative efficiency. This DVD offers a rare look into the battlefield-tested methods of the early 20th century ensuring that the rigorous standards of the Bafa tradition are maintained.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The routine is characterized by its direct and powerful movements consisting of more than twenty essential maneuvers. The Technical Routine focuses on the eight primary methods: Outer trap (Lan) Inner trap (Na) Stab (Zha) Flick (Beng) Support (Tuo) Shake (Dou) Chop (Pi) and Reel (Chan). The choreography is a cohesive choreography of high-intensity strikes and parries designed for actual fighting rather than performance. Master Wu Shijun provides a meticulous breakdown of each technique showing how to manage the length and weight of the big pole. The routine is structured to build the practitioner's ability to deliver penetrating force while maintaining a stable and mobile structure suitable for both ground and mounted combat scenarios.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The biomechanics of the Big Spear focus on Body-Weapon Integration and the generation of massive Fa-Jin through a long kinetic chain. Because the spear is a heavy long-range weapon power must be generated from the rooted feet and transmitted through the entire body to the tip. The training emphasizes the Six Harmonies and the use of the waist as the primary engine for the shaking and stabbing actions. This DVD provides deep insights into the internal alchemy required to coordinate the breath with the explosive release of energy. The biomechanical efficiency of the Bafa system lies in its ability to utilize the leverage of the long pole to neutralize an opponent's force with minimal effort while returning a devastating counter-strike.
COMBAT APPLICATIONS
Strategically the Big Spear is a system of long-range dominance. The strategy involves using the Lan and Na techniques to create a defensive cone that is nearly impossible to penetrate followed by a lightning-fast Zha (stab) to the center line. The tactical focus is on simplicity and effectiveness where every movement has a clear combative purpose. Master Wu Shijun demonstrates the Combat Application of the routine showing how the Eight Techniques are used to neutralize various weapons and multiple attackers. This DVD is an essential resource for serious students of Wushu who wish to master the profound and practical heritage of traditional Chinese spear play offering a professional pathway to technical mastery and the preservation of a vital military lineage.

Martial Arts Background: A Global Pursuit of Combat Mastery
Master Wei began his journey in traditional Wushu and Sanda before traveling abroad to study under Bruce Lee’s premier student, Dan Inosanto. This allowed him to master the core principles of Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts (Kali), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He deeply understands Lee’s philosophy: "Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation." By merging traditional essence with modern special-ops combat, he has served as a head combat instructor for SWAT teams, accumulating vast experience in practical offense, defense, and grappling.
Legacy and Contribution: The Architect of JKD Literature in China
Master Wei’s most significant contribution is his prolific output of martial arts literature. He has authored and published over 50 definitive works, including The Complete Book of Jeet Kune Do and The Essence of Bruce Lee’s Combat Art, which have become bestsellers in the martial arts world. The training bases he established have mentored tens of thousands of practitioners, ensuring the professional and localized development of JKD in China.
Artistic Style: Rapid, Fierce, and Concise
His personal style embodies the JKD hallmarks of being "simple, direct, and non-classical." His techniques prioritize maximum efficiency and explosive power, reflecting a true spirit of combat. Advocating that "Wushu must return to practical application," his vigorous style and scientific training methodology have earned him immense respect among the modern generation of martial arts enthusiasts.
