The choice is different.
If it's just exercise,
Choosing a telescopic sword is the most
Suitable, light weight, easy to carry, no danger of injury.
If you want to achieve something in fencing, you must choose a sword that suits you.
Novices generally choose a lighter sword, and the counterweight is close to the hilt, because the wrist strength is weak and the action is not finalized.
Too heavy, too much torque, easy to walk.
When you have a foundation and the movements are basically finalized, choose a good sword. At this time, if the sword is comfortable, you can feel it yourself.
First of all,
The weight of the blade and the tail of the hilt should be balanced. Test method: use the fingers of the right hand (index finger and middle finger).
Keep the blade one inch away from the armguard. If it can be balanced, that is the standard.
Second,
The tip of the sword is basically not bent. Test method: stand the tip of the sword face down on the ground and release it in your hand.
For an instant, if the sword is basically not bent, it is the standard.
Third,
The toughness of the blade is
90
Degree, test method: hold the tip of the sword with your fingers and bend it. If it can be folded,
90
Duqie
Basically not higher than
90
Degree is the standard, too soft and too hard is not appropriate.
Fourth,
Hold the sword in Tai Chi posture. If the tip of the sword is higher than the earlobe and lower than the earlobe, hold the sword close to the back of the arm.
Eyebrows fit your size.
Fifth,
The weight of standard taiji sword is generally in
600
About grams, the weight of the sword will be slightly different with different heights and sizes.
Deviation is usually different from
100
Within grams.
Say it again,
There are two kinds of long swords: flat sword and ridge sword.
A sword with a ridge is the ridge of the sword, that is, the blade is flat.
The middle part of the surface is convex, and the flat-ridged sword is the ridge of the sword, that is, the middle part of the plane where the blade is located is flat.
Yes
The ridge of the standard Tai Chi sword is convex,
That is, a sword with ridges.
Generally, the price of ridged sword is higher.
