>> The international governing body for Chinese Martial Arts competition, the International Wushu Federation, has established standards for swords in competition. This line of Sun Moon Competition Swords meets those standards.

>> Made at one of China’s most famous sword forges, Dragon Well, these swords represent the "top of the line" for competition swords. The hollow-ground blade design strengthens the spine of the blade while keeping the tip flexible. This makes for a light, yet sturdy weapon with a balance that’s ideal for competition or every day practice. Embossed with a Sun and Moon directly on the blade, these swords bear the Chinese characters "Qiankun". Qiankun is usually translated as "heaven and earth". Actually, Qiankun are the yin and yang trigram symbols of the Bagua, an ancient divination system known as I Ching. Each weapon comes with a special tag that certifies that they have met the rigorous new standards for competition. Tai Chi swords use a flattened-diamond blade design. Comes in multiple sizes for a perfect fit.
