Seven Star Sword

Seven Star Sword

In this class we will explore basic cutting movements of the Chinese double edged straight sword or “Jian”. We will discuss and apply the ritual and ceremonial origins in Daoism and how the form evolved in the Wudang Mountains of China. The sword can be a symbol of cutting the root of suffering. Learning to move with this weapon is empowering, centering and can invoke divine connection. The power of the blade can extend beyond our physical form and reach towards the heavens.
