DAB - Thai Sword Dance (1999, remastered)

Ancient Thai sword dances were not so much about art and aesthetics, but about the fighting techniques they are build upon. Therefore only a teacher can perform such a sword dance and explain the all movements it includes in detail. DAB (Sword) is an armed PAHUYUTH discipline, that deals with the art of sword fighting. DAB and other PAHUYUTH weapon fighting methods were used on ancient battlefields and should not be confused with Krabi Krabong, which was invented much later (under King Rama II, 1767-1824 A.D.) with the clear intention of “entertainment, sport and presentation“ in mind. Please note, that this video is not about legitimate self-defense (there is a special section for such topics on our channel), but about traditional Thai sword fighting (DAB), which is taught for preservation of cultural heritage.
