While the Wing Chun Butterfly Knives may be viewed as a traditional weapon, they have many realistic applications. If a person is well-trained in the Butterfly Knives, they may use any similar object as an effective self defence weapon.
As the attacker strikes to the side of the body, the attack is jammed with one knife while the other knife is used to simultaneously counter-attack. If required, a follow-up strike may be applied.
As the attacker strikes to the head, the knives are used to redirect the strike in a similar manner to the empty-handed seung bong (double bong sau) movement. It is important to note that the elbow and butt of the Butterfly Knife may be used in follow-up strikes to prevent fatal injuries to the attacker.
The garn sau movement is used to deflect both strikes while simultaneously thrust kicking the attacker in the floating ribs. Follow-up strikes may also be used if required.
Even a blunt object may be used, as the damage done by the Butterfly Knives does not rely on the sharpness of the blades but the force generated by coordinated body movements.
