About Wudang Sword
Wudang Sword is an umbrella term referring to a number of related sword systems, using the Jian (剑), a double-edged straight sword. Frequently used in a single hand, it is known for it’s sophisticated lines of attack, and graceful movements which combine soft and hard elements.
Within the Sydney Wudang Sword Academy we train Wudang sword from lineages descended from Song Weiyi and Li Jinglin. Included in this is Wudang Sword, and Taiji (Tai Chi) Sword.
Our Commitment to Safety
The safety of all club members is our highest priority. While we are firmly committed to the belief that to truly understand how to use a sword, sparring is essential, we also require protective equipment so that no injuries are caused.
To this end, protective gear must be worn while sparring or engaging in partner exercises.
For full equipment details see Safety Standards
