I've practiced with weapons quite a bit, and I can explain the reason behind the two fingers pointed out on the free hand. It's just a training aid to help the person with counter balance. You can't have the free arm flapping about. If you use all 5 fingers you don't have the same amount of focus as using 2 fingers. Think of training wheels on a bicycle. Also, this is Wushu, not HEMA, meaning it's not really a combat sport like HEMA is. Wushu is basically gymnastics with a martial arts base, so it goes a bit for cosmetic appearance, that's why advanced practitioners keep using the 2 fingers. It's not made for fighting.

understand ! But the reason why we have to free the hand while using sword is because the force must be from the rooting comprising strong and stable stance in association with the waist / hip rotation. Holding and using just 2 fingers to control the Chinese sword is to change the instinctual behavior of the practitioner normally grasping the sword tight and the force is from the arm and hand muscle. For any long time fight we will get exhausted or muscle injury, especially when the weapon (sword) is heavy. Wushu can apply to a real fight, but we have to train more footwork and body strength in addition to playing with spinning sword. After full training course, we can hold and use the heavy sword to fight with the full force from the rooting; whilst the arm and hand grip are just for the direction control. 🥰🙏

Wushu, the term and modern sport, was popularized during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which turned the martial art into more of a performance art inspired by older and traditional CMA. In the game, Xianghua's style was family lineage of Chinese swordsmanship, but as a previous commentor said, the sequence used in game was from a modern, standardized wushu sword routine

It depends on the style of Jian and the opponent's weapon and the nature of the combat. Stiffer, heavier Jian were used as battlefield swords while lighter and faster ones were used for dueling and personal defense. The very lightest and whippiest are mostly used for demonstration, though late-period historical civilian swords can still be surprisingly whippy. A lightweight Jian is a _very_ fast sword. You can't block much with it but you can hit an opponent in the blink of an eye and the extremely narrow blade profile near the tip cuts flesh with almost no effort.

In Wushu, they train basic movements.. but not the actual combat drills and knowledge. If you search for Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, you can find some video introductions to Chinese swordplay. In them, you can see some of the actual combat drills.. and thus, what is Missing from what these Wushu performers do. Another part of this, is general conditioning. For example... if you have never hit the sandbags for over a year... then what do you think will happen, when you hit another fighter with your bare-fists? (Hint: your soft knuckles will break) Just because you learned to emulate a punch in your wushu routine... doesnt mean that you are capable of combat level power and impact potentials. You just learn the basic external motion for the punch. And... you dont even know the process, of how to trap the OPs arms up.. to get to the point where you can deliver that punch... without it getting blocked / deflected. The same is true of these guys swordplay. They know some basic external motions.. but they dont know the reasons for usage, and much of what they do.. lacks the correct internally driven methods. Nor do they have they trained combat sensitivity, and combat interactions... to be able to be combat effective. With lower tier Swordplay.. you might get lucky with certain general motion attacks. However, against a competent sword wielder.. things will likely take on a very different level of exchange. Actually, a great example, is in the movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". At one point, the Master picks up a small bamboo stick, and proceeds to best the Girl with the sword. He spouts the reasons... about her lack of proper training, bad foundations, poor understandings, and more. This scene is Rooted from real martial truths, and still rings true to this very day.

Very beautiful. On the sparring question, while undoubtedly the current forms have a great deal of unnecessary embellishments added, it is a very fast blade and difficult to defend. My instructor, who I’ve worked with for about 18 yrs, started practicing with variants of the taichi sword a couple years ago. We regularly practice sparring with a variety of weapons, from small knives up to swords, machetes, and everyday items like baseball bats and tire irons. He decided to bring and try out this sword and it was surprising how well it worked--in particular, if the wrist is used in a relaxed manner, the tip and upper edge of the sword can cut along the opponent’s hands and arms during nearly every block/attack/bind with any other weapon. De-fanging the snake, as often referred to in Filipino blade styles. Interesting to work with, for sure:)

The hand gesture is actually a replacement for where the shield would have been originally because the Jian sword was originally used with shields in the battlefield until it transformed into a civilian/officer dress sword where the techniques with the shield were mostly retained but made more artistic for the off hand that no longer held the shield, this is also similar to the forms with the Dao sabre, traditionally used with shields but later used without shields while still performing shield techniques with the off hand for non battlefield application; basically swordsmen being lazy instead of developing specialized techniques for non battlefield no shield applications.

In addition to the vestigial shield aspect, the sword fingers are also used as a counterbalance to the sword itself. In many Chinese martial arts systems, especially internal systems, there is an emphasis on proper biomechanical alignment for skeletal and muscular systems in the body. By thrusting the sword hand and off hand in opposite directions, for example, the swordsperson would be able to fully open up their shoulders and chest, leading to a more explosive strike with extended range.

(and then stripped and sold their Organs on the black market.. when they realized that the practitioners organs were kind of "super-naturally Healthy" due to the practice of Falun Gong) That said, once you learn an actual combat art.. you do not really care about "Sport"... because sports create Rules.. and rules prevent Combat Realism.

Putting your free hand with two fingers pointed is called " Hidden sword ". It's a way to make your internal power ( Chi ) to run through the blade as Chinese Martial arts heavily relly on Chi power to sustain their fighting techniques. This is a really traditional way of practicing chinese fencing. The wushu lady doesn't know about it because she only had be trained for artistic performances and didn't had access to traditional Kung Fu training. The sword itself is a light version of traditional chinese sword and can't be used for killing someone. Its design, with the flexible tip is make to allow fast flashy movements and producing sounds that make the tao more spectacular. Real Chinese Swords can't be move that fast because of their weight.

I embraced swordsmanship because I wanted to defeat god the almighty, then as a kid. At this point I already accepted hell and knew exactly I had to become stronger than anyone else to achieve that. One day though I found the truth that god doesn't exist. So I let it go. Roronoa Zoro was my motivator to become stronger. I knew I had to become at least as strong as him. I discovered the biggest disadvantage of being the swordsman. As you know everything in life has its pros and cons no matter what you do. A swordsman is a destroyer. So you develop a cold and dark character. Zoro surely the best example for that, the king of hell. Well, the big challenge is not to let it control you. That dark voice in you. The advantage if you master it, a swordsman can defeat even the worst demons in existence. You have the best defence against curse and whatever else negativity. And I'm not talking about how to swing a blade around. I'm talking about your spirit, aura. Being a fearless fighter. You may understand once you prefer death over defeat. A true master swordsman will not surrender. I would fight demons any day. I however don't prefer to charge people. At the moment I'm mastering mysticism. Magic is not a fantasy. The people are only too weak to obtain it. Some men prefer to defend their girls. But I realized the tougher I got, I started to attract to tough girls that can actually take care of themselves.

One can argue that the sound of the movements and the snaps help judges tell If you have the correct power and that may be true but does that translator to real power with a real weapon? So for me most things calling themself wushu is gymnastics. As for the 2 fingers on the second hand ive heard and read many things during my martial training, usually its called sword hand/fingers, sword talisman or things of that nature. Some people say the movements are to be viewed as finger jabs to sort targets like eyes or throats. The main argument for that is usually of the nature that each movement has a martial purpous or else it would not be there, i can see then why people would say its a finger jab, personaly Im more of the more practical view that its simply used to balance the body and it may also be used as a form of measuring tool for some technicues. Someone here mentioned the fact that 2 fingers are used to help bring focus to this hand aswell as to not be sloppy with those technicues and i think thats a valid point.

The wushu is not combat ready. Those spin movement is very unnecessary and dangerous. I believe there is much more authentic version.

nope nope nope nope.... the hand gesture is not just for fancy look. It's "aim" to the body part where you want to stab.

If she was using a real jian of proper weight it would slow her down. Nevermind the fact that adding a sharp edge would make her much more apprehensive to swing it around so fast.

It's nice and balletic and all that, but when your opponent turns their back on you that's your cue to slash their back with your sword, or even plunge it in.

Clearly not a practical fighting art but very cool nonetheless. It’d probably be good for intimation too

The sword seems only able to cut, the floppy end would never sustain a thrust. This is gymnastics, but is it based in some real combat sport in the past?

first of all the chinese swords are not real swords. They are something made in the shape of a sword but do not have blades designed to cut or parry with. Their athletic ability is pretty but completely useless in a fight

2:50 I have to correct here; men and women do use the same weapon in Wushu. There's no gender difference for weapon.
