Jian Chinese Tai Chi Sword

History:

"The history of the sword in China dates back 5,000 years to the legendary Yellow Emperor. The Jian, used in Tai Chi, is its most sophisticated form. The use of a Jian in combat or duels was associated with professional martial artists, priests and the nobility, due to the skill needed to wield it."

The middle is used to make contact, deflect and drive forward. It is sharp and can be used to make a striking cut.

The part nearest the hilt is blunt and is used for situations that require force, such as blocking an attack.
