We are proud to announce Plum\u2019s newest publication: \u201cThe Bandit Knife\u201d, written by Ted Mancuso.<\/p>\n

In this 210 page book, illustrated with over 100 photos, Ted teaches the Shaolin Bandit Knife. This weapon is rarely demonstrated, much fun to play, and\u2014with such movements as \u201cbody spin under knife\u201d\u2014also makes a traditional and beautiful <\/strong>performance set. Plus, for the first time in any book, an extensive usage section tests the Knife against its worthy opponent, the Spear.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more: in articles such as \u201cThe Qi of The Bandit Knife\u201d, \u201cCatching the Sense of a Weapon\u201d, \u201cA Catalogue of Weapons\u201d, \u201cShadows of the Past\u201d and many more, he also goes beyond most standard forms books to outline the history and nature of weapons in the Kung Fu arsenal; discuss the meaning and usage<\/strong> of weapons in both training and combat, personal and military; and offer basics and usage. He even suggests alternative weapons, such as the staff, that a student can substitute for the knife.<\/p>\n

This is Plum\u2019s initial offering using short-run printing. This should allow us to publish many more titles\u2014limited editions, books on rare styles, more esoteric information, and special interests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned, this book deals with more than a single form; but for those of you who are already wondering about it, a companion dvd<\/strong> on the form itself is already in the works.<\/p>\n

An uncommon weapon, an uncommon book.<\/p>\n
