Jiffy Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The straight sword. I just think that while the broad sword is an awesome weapon, it would take a lot of skill to use it in combat. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Anybody ever considered making a kata/fighting techniques for jian and dao, one in each hand? Maybe use the dao in your front hand, and the jian in the back? I got this idea a few days ago, and can't wait to try it out. Any tips?

Any tips?considering the vast difference in technique, you'd likely have to be very coordinated to pull this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 These would already exist wouldn't they?!?I've never seen one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I've seen double broadsword, but never one of each, not even double jian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordtariel Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I've thought about the concept, but would think the actual execution of that pairing might be a bit difficult as there is differences in blade length, width, style and weight. Wonder what weapon you would use in your off hand... There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i really don't know much about these weapons; is the jian used like a european medieval broadsword and the dao like a sabre? something like that?

Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
