@aporlarepublica ofcourse the practice swords are not meant to penetrate any part of the body ! they are not real swords as such ;-) (maybe they can attack the eye , but i would not advice you to try it ...) anyway a real sword is not so thin as the mock practice swords and normally dont make any noise when you thrust them forward... but they will make serious cuts if aimed at certain body parts. Indeed if you were to hit a hard part the sword may break
@aporlarepublica (for example a wall or a shield , even a hard bone could make certain swords shatter i'm sure) but then again a sword like this is not sledge hammer and needs to be used by a trained person who also has the moral insights not to kill or maim ! (if needed the swordsmen would cut the thumb of the opponent just to make hime lose the grip on his weapon
@vlawac actually, this is not a functional sword, its called a wushu sword and is that flexible for show, functional taiji swords are very stiff until forcibly flexed, they dont flip about like this.
Give the narrator some time in an English speaking country and his accent will be reduced greatly. I know how hard it is to pronounce some sounds in other languages. Most Dutch find it very hard to pronounce the English "th", they simply pronounce it as a "d".
I don't know how many of these I'd consider basic. I mean, you have the back and snake stance thrusts which both require a lot of flexibility.
A beginner would have a hard time doing those, and I'd consider basics to be skills that a beginner could perform in under a month or so (note I said perform, not perfect).
No its k mate. I didnt mean you but the guy speaking in the vid. He defo speaks English better than anyone of us could speak Chinese. So as his pronunciation seems funny to us so would Chinese laugh at our attempts to speak Chinese properly.
It the accent and new sounds you have never used before. Thats really nothing to laugh about. At least that guy does speak at least 2 languages and he tries to speak in a foreign language, most of Americans cant even speak proper English - their native.
@Buuub08 :)) that's only because most people are stupid enough to try learning a foreign language through their native phonetics, instead of starting completely anew.
@AndyRaslan its not an "R". They use an "R" as a symbol in pinyin as in ren, er, ran, ru etc. But its not the same as an phonetic "R" in other languages, there isnt anything even similar to that.
@Guacamole4sho There are syllables like ru ran ri ren er etc but thats not really and r, it just uses the latin r symbol but is pronounced somewhat differently.
But... Can the jian really thrust? Isn't it a too thin blade to get through a hard part of the human body?

@WarriorBoy By China's wushu standards, these would be considered very basic.

He certainly doesn't have to say sword with the W so enunciated.

Give me a break. Chinese dont have a "R" phonetically so its hard for them to pronounce (Same with Japanese and "L").
Id like to hear you speak properly in a foreign language which is not connected to your native. You cant lose the accent no matter how you try.

I assume youre from HK, that explains why you can speak fluent English, in addition to Canto and probably Putonghua as well.
