The Broadsword in Hung Gar

for broadsword:
in our school we had only a Pek Kwar broadswordform.(so far as i know).
most commom weapons:
i think: the butterfly knives , Hung Je Kwun ,
Wu Long Pakua Kwun and Kwan Dao.
may differ from lineage.

There was a recent discussion on this on the Southern Fist Forum
(I can’t seem to load the forum at the moment so I can’t find the exact link.)
basically from what I’ve seen the most common are;

Eyebrow-height staff (southern Monkey Stick)
8 foot staff (5th Brother Yang pole, Lau ga pole)
Butterfly / mother & son knives and
tigerfork (Yu Family Fork).

Most lineages have a broadsword form but it seems that there is less common ground in the weapon forms.

Our school does Plum Flower broadsword (Mui Fa Daan Do).
