This has nothing to do with Chinese historical swordsmanship, there is no hard block, edge on edge in Chinese Swordsmanship. This modern wushu.

[daikeli]

In reference to this comment all forms of historical swordsmanship have hard blocking, edge on edge contact, however this was strongly discouraged as it damaged the blade. There was no safer place to block then the edge, if a direct block was needed, direct blocking on the side would more likely cause a bent blade, and back would be too awkward for many angles, as well as too soft. Normally it was preferred to slide block or deflect. This form is traditional, though slightly modified.

Yes, theatrical in some respects to teach students/practitioners about aesthetics, balance, etc while keeping with Good attack-defense technique. Edge on edge? Many styles apply pressure to the the inside flat of the blade while blocking with the outside flat in order to maintain strength/stability/integrity as well as the edge. There Are times when the maximum pressure And amount of steel between the attacker's edge & You is necessary, & the free hand would reinforce from the spine instead.

Pretty cool, especially for being coordinated. Shoot several angles and intercut and it would stand up to most movie sword fights.
