Polearms(2)

Once the instructor showed Yuan how to hold the staff, he swung the staff around in a slow but precise manner, allowing Yuan to see every single one of his movements more clearly.

A few minutes later, the instructor stopped his movements and turned to look at Yuan before handing him the staff.

"Here. I showed a little more than I was supposed to, but I wanted to give you a grasp of what it means to wield a staff."

After Yuan accepted the staff, the instructor went to grab another one for himself.

"Am I holding this properly?" Yuan asked.

"Yes, that's perfect. Now let's start with the basic movements."

The instructor then executed a single strike with the staff before freezing in that position.

Yuan followed his movements and executed the same strike with perfection.

Of course, it was only a basic movement, so it wasn't that impressive.

"Here's a follow-up."

The instructor resumed his movements and swung the staff again.
