Abstract Background

It has a history spanning over 2,500 years and is one of China's oldest and most iconic weapons. Typically used in martial arts, the Jian features a slender blade and a hilt that allows for precise control. It was historically favored by scholars, military officers, and aristocrats.

  • Middle weight (700 to 799 grams)   

     *Most Popular Choice*

Most popular and versatile of all weight options chosen among adult men practitionners. The favorite choice of almost all heavy contact training (blade on blade) or full-contact sparring (free-play combat with body protections) practitionners.

 

  • Full weight (800 to 950 grams)

Most commonly chosen by those looking to condition themselves for heavier forged cutting Jian, often in addition to a lighter model (such as a middle-weight Jian) for extended practice.
