After training 3 days at Rodell Laoshi’s St. Paul Seminars, they wanted to test their sword skills. So out they went to the local plaza for some friendly bouting.
Seen on the left is Richard Son Su Meyer, director of Great River Taoist Center Twin Cities. And on the right is Quinatzin De La Torre. Both are long time students of Rodell Laoshi.
Note that both have years of experience in full contact swordplay and are able to control the power of their blows, even at full speed. Less experienced practitioners must don proper swordplay armor, particularly head and eye protection, when bouting.

I’ve been training hard with the Dadao in Wudang. I’ve put more than a few hours every day into it and while I’ve got a long way to go, it’s feeling pretty good! Eventhough I’m over 50, I love learning new stuff and being a beginner all over again. Kung Fu (gong fu) 功夫 can kind of translate into “hard work”. So, try to put Kung Fu into whatever you love doing! #武当山 #wudang #kungfu #wudangkungfu #dadao #pudao #kungfuweapons #china (at Wudang Daoist Traditional Kungfu Academy) https://www.instagram.com/davebcan/p/Bxb0SKzlYDM/?igshid=1ep0iw6oi3h3i

Republican Era Chinese Jian with clearly visible differential heat treating of the edge plate that creates a very hard edge. This harden edge makes it excellent for cutting, and it holds its edge quite well. However, the same hardness than makes for superior cutting effectiveness also means that the edge is relatively brittle. For this reason, Chinese Sword Arts standardly deflect with the blade flat rather that parrying with the edge.
Hard blocks with sanmai (three plate) type swords, those of China and Japan, with the edge can lead to a catastrophic failure of the blade.
