Check out my website on Chinese swords

[Thomas Chen]

Hi guys
Do check out my website on Chinese swords of the past 2500 years.

Thomas Chen's Chinese sword website (http://thomaschen.freewebspace.com)


I have also compiled a list of 2-handed Chinese swordsmanship styles/schools on the site.

If you are interested in the Chinese language manuals of the 2-handed Miao Dao and the 2-handed jian of the Praying Mantis style, you can download them here:

Thanks for the links.
Where would I find the info of weight and balance point for swords like the two on your web page?

My kung fu brother works with a famous smith in Kaohsiung. He likes to use his swords to chop up other swords, I was impressed, but I feel that the swords don't have the correct balance point as they are not "lively"

Do you have a reference page for the books, articles and etc that were used for the website?

btw, your photo doesn't look 30, more like 2000 yr-old plus... :D You look pretty good for a 2000 yr-old man...
