The Iron Fan is a favorite weapon of many Kung Fu practitioners around the world. Many martial artists outside of Kung Fu have also adopted this weapon due to its beauty and grace.

This video contains the entire Iron Fan Form as taught and performed by James Theros

For convenience purposes, a separate file with just the form is included and a separate file with an edited version of a fan seminar taught by Master Theros is also available.

The techniques of the Iron Fan can be adapted to items such as a rolled up newspaper or magazine and is excellent for close quarters self-defense situations.

It is also an excellent weapon for competition.

The complete form should take approximately two minutes to perform. It borrows techniques from the broadsword, straight sword, short stick and nunchaku.
