The Chinese Straight Sword (Jian) is called the "gentlemen of all weapons" in Chinese Martial Arts. It is a double edged sword that's been used for over 2,500 years. In the old days these swords were one handed, but in today's Chinese martial arts there are also two handed swords. The average sword weighs between 1.5 and 2 pounds. The Jian looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Jian_%28sword%29.jpg.
If you're looking
for an excessive use of sword you should try all the different types of
Japanese martial arts. You should try
Kenjutsu , Naginatajutsu or Iaijutsu in order to master
the use of a sword.
Many warriors believe that each Katana sword has its own
soul those with a great history in particular. To lose this sword is a dishonor
and the warrior which loosed the sword is considered to be an irresponsible
man. This sword is almost never used in battle and using it is considered to be
a dishonor on the sword's soul.
