Purn Dao: Purn Dao is a martial art similar to Muay Barron and Quan Ji. It is commonly referred to as "Gladiator Style" because of its use of swords, quick movements, and rule of taking out opponents in under thirty seconds. Swords are a big part of the martial art, but it mostly focuses on the use of kicks and other powerful strikes. A signature of this martial art is it's strange stances, which usually make the practitioner look like he/she is going to move one way, when in actuality he/she will move straight towards the opponent. An example of a stance is one from Quan Ji, when the martial artist is in a squat position on his/her back leg, and the front leg is stretched out in front. This stance gives perfect balance to shift forward onto the front leg to be able to give a fast downward strike to the opponents front leg (the strike is given by the martial artists back leg that he was squatted on).
