Hanwei's Sparring Jian have been designed by Scott Rodell to handle as closely as possible to sharp jian while providing rounded edges and safe flex during a thrust. Using the same blade steel advanced heat treatment regimen and handle fittings as the Rodell designed Hanwei Cutting Jian students can practice forms sparring and cutting all with the same design. Through these three disciplines the student can take a holistic approach to their jianfa training; what works in forms must work in sparring must work in cutting must work in forms etc... Scott M.
