The end is near. Today, we have China – in the best sense of the word. This selection turned out to be a bit challenging; Chinese items are not often made well, and sometimes original weapons are preserved and photographed better than new replicas. But I still found some decent examples and masters. The parade begins with a one-handed jian – one of my favorite types of melee weapon from a practical point of view.
And a two-handed jian, which I don't like at all. Perhaps solely because everything that is wielded with both hands, from halberds to training jiang, makes me want to *HIT THINGS HARDER, but this device isn’t quite for that, you can’t even knock someone out with the guard. But it shouldn't be overlooked.
Dao. This was an easy test to see if you are a swordsman or a philosopher. I like it less than the jian, but there is definitely something special about it.
