About this listen
Keith Seeley researches the weapons and martial arts of early modern China.
His master's degree in history informs his approach to contextualizing and deciphering military treatises and manuals from the late Ming to mid Qing dynasties. His primary weapon of study is the yaodao or single-handed saber, which served as the mainstay military sidearm and civilian self-defense tool throughout this historical period.
In this episode, Keith and host Gabriele Culot dive head-first into a long and distinguished history of combat and martial arts, and into a lineage of weapons that is as interesting as it is often overlooked outside of China.
