How's Chinese jian swordsmanship practical fighting?
In fact, there are international Chinese swordsmen who have attempted and formed systems a decade ago.
The hfsword.com owner's friend in Seattle, Chinese swordsman Chiang Ting who has studied Asian swordsmanship for almost half a century and specialized on the practical fighting study, will disclose the videos of their sparring and training.
The following video shows a taiji jian vs filippino kali. Both of them are students of Mr. Chiang. We can see the elegance, speed and power of the chinese swordsmanship.
