Jiang Wei Gansu Stick Arts video #1

Jiāng Wéi Wǔshù
Jiang Wei Wushu is the name given to the folk arts of Gansu province's Gangu county, Tianshui prefecture.
Tianshui prefecture is located next to Pinglian Prefecture where the Famous Kongtong mountains are found and the Jiang Wei martial arts are often considered a branch of the Kongtong school. This area has long been known for it's folk martial arts, preserving a wide variety of obscure weapons and a huge number of stick forms. In fact many stick forms listed as being practiced at Shaolin in Ming dynasty manuals and thought to be lost are still found in this region.
The people of this area attribute the origin of their martial arts to the General Jiang
Wei (202--264 A.D.) of the Three Kingdoms period. Although Jiang Wei served under Zhuge Liang and later as a general in his own right for the Shu-Han kingdom, he was originally a mid level officer of Cao-Wei. Born in Gangu county in the Tianshui commandery of the Cao-Wei kingdom, while serving as a mid level commander he was approached by the great strategist Zhuge Liang who recognized in him a gift for strategy and command. After defecting to Shu-Han he was quickly promoted becoming a General after the Death of Zhuge Liang.
Although he achieved much for Han while serving under Zhuge Liang, as a general in his own right he launched several ultimately unsuccessful expeditions north against Wei. These expeditions helped contribute to the ultimate fall of Shu-Han.
Jiang Wei was later killed in an unsuccessful plot to oust the Wei soldiers and restore the empire of Shu-Han.
