Sword review: Two late period Jian from LK Chen

Описание: This is a quite overview looking at two models of Jian from LK Chen.

The lovely Longquan Jian, and Snow Peak date to the Qing dynasty (1644–1911) and the Republic Period (1919-1949) respectively for their designs.

I mention in the video, but the Longquan jian is available in two lengths, both standard, and duan (short) jian length.

This video mostly talks about the history behind the swords, as well as going over their physical appearance, however I touch on how these swords were used historically. I do not actively train in Chinese swords arts under any instructor.

If you do have an interest in learning more about Jianfa technique I recommend visiting ‪@SifuKuttel‬ and ‪@ChineseSwordAcademyGRTC‬ which have many lovely demonstrations as well as opportunities for instruction.

If you want to continue learning about swords and sword related topics I highly recommend the Patreon of my colleague Matthew Forde. He has a wealth of knowledge of British military history and beyond. Subscription is well worth it and features book reviews, case studies, interviews with experts, and articles from guest authors (including the occasional ramblings of Dlatrex).
