@well3336 I know but that's not the point. Outside china, Kung-fu (hard work-achievement) usually means traditional kung-fu: fighting styles created in the past for self defence, health and war. With wushu we often mean the "new" chinese martial arts, which take something from this or that traditional style, but are invented anew with no regard for internal energy or real life application. That's what he's doing: wiggling a fake sword, doing something very beautiful, but meaningless.
@MonikoTheMudkip: It's been said that it's meant to distract the opponent, but since Wu Shu is really for demonstration purposes like these, it really just makes a great visual effect to follow while the blade is in movement.
Actually i think its and early Chinese variation of the broadsword saw it on a special on the discovery channel, the sword was primarily designed for slashing and not to stab.
A weapon consisting typically of a long, straight or slightly curved, pointed blade having one or two cutting edges and set into a hilt. That's the definition of sword dumbass.
oh yeah, it was from "dragon fight" where he came to usa for a tour of wushu performances and then stayed because his team left home. fine movie. it's also got jet li's wife in it too. nina something.
Nina Li Chi, his wife has funny hair in this movie, lol. He met her while making this movie but was already married to another woman & didn't get with Nina until after his divorce, so he didn't two-time his wife, lol!
i think this was from that one movie where jet li and stephen chow (kung fu hustler, shaolin soccer) guy made together. forgot what the movie is called but after this part, stephen's character met with jet's character and they became good friends or something.
You should watch his earlier films like "shaolin temple 1, 2 & 3" or "Born to defend" & you'll see his abs, you won't be disappointed, he's got a great body, just perfect, LOL. I was surprised to find that this was from the movie "Dragon Fight" as I thought it was just a demonstration but I watched some of the film a few days ago & this is the opening scene.
LOL, I'm glad you agree with me Chanrhu. I've always thought it was cute. Jet was really good looking in his younger days wasn't he, at least I think so, I still think he's hot now, just a bit more mature looking. He's the best.
I've seen this vid on a few sites & i like it but its annoying cos it always ends at the same part. its like, shit, what happens after the guy gets hold of Jet, do they continue 2 fight or what, any1 know where the rest of tht demonstration is, surely thts not how it ends.

Technically if it has one cutting edge it's a sabre. If both sides of the blade cut, it's a sword.
