Wudang Sword [武当太乙玄门剑]

[TheWushudreamer]

@chrissifu I have to respectfully disagree. I have been practicing Jian for many years, spoken with many masters of the art, and have never heard that use of the sword finger is used only for beginners, implying that masters don not use it. I was taught that is was used to prevent an imbalance of Chi flow and can even be used for cavity presses in the advanced stages.

looks more like qi xing jian

doesn't look like tai yi xuan men jian but I like it very much

hey i was wondering what are the two fingers for in wushu bagua wadang and shaolin swordplay?

[langying]

the "secret sword hand" used to balance the Qi circulation during the movement

[synthapete]

It's to hide the knife.

[zipzhang101]

I think it's a move of "qi", because bagua wudang is a kind of internal martial art, it's come from training of "nei dan" or "qi", use the two fingers to control or move the qi in the body.lol

[chrissifu]

Yes, the secret sword hand (2 fingers) has nothing to do with Qi. It is only a method for beginners to use. It represents the small knife that is used in the left hand. You start like this so you don't cut yourself with the knife! Once you have learnt the form you then start to practice how to use the knife in the left hand to cut & stab. All internal forms especially weapons forms assume fighting against more than 1 opponent. Most people however do not know this, even Daoist masters in China.
