The ‘jian’ is a Chinese sword commonly used in tai chi sword forms. It is around 3 – 3.5 feet long including the handle or ‘grip’, and has a straight double edged blade, 1.5 – 2 inches wide. There is a crossbar or guard between the blade and the handle designed to protect the hand in swordplay. On the end of the handle there is a pommel to prevent the sword from slipping out of the hand, to which a tassel is usually fastened.
A tai chi dvd can be a great gift idea for someone you know who is interested in keeping fit, martial arts, etc, and is an excellent introduction to this wonderful ancient art form. You could do a family member or good friend a big favour by getting them interested in something that would benefit their health such as tai chi, and they could be thanking you for years to come.
