I have to admit to myself that I am quite awkward when it comes to using a weapon. My chosen weapon this year is the Jian, the Chinese straight sword. I have always been fascinated by the sword, and the Jian has always been one of my favorites. When I watch a martial artist performing a form or a set of movements with the Jian I can’t help but admire the flow and deftness that they handle the blade with. I have to say that when I am practicing with my sword I may as well be stabbing or swinging around a club for all the flow I have with the use of this new weapon. Although I am aware that with any new thing a person picks up, it will take time to become proficient in the use of it, and in time I will also develop flow and proficiency in the Jian.
Where am I? What am I doing?
