Jian - Sword
Description
The straight sword is known as the gentleman’s sidearm. It is much more intricate than the saber, and swims like a clever serpentine dragon. Preferring slices to chops, the straight sword’s arcs are smaller and more internally generated. Every wrist movement has its origination from the lower torso core (dantian). The straight sword has much higher difficulty level than the saber and even though it is a more refined weapon compared to the saber, one must still wield it with martial intent.
