Two handed jian is a commonly practiced weapon in Mainland mantis styles. Yet in the article Yu seems to take credit for single-handedly resurrecting the weapon from ancient times. How do his claims fit in with what you may know about the history of the mantis two handed sword forms?
I know that two handed jian is taught by the following mantis instructors on the mainland:
Zhou Zhendong - TJTLQ ---> Li Feilin + Sun De
Sun Delong - TJMHTLQ
Yu Tianlu - QXTLQ
Zhang Bingdou - TJMHTLQ
Zhang Daojing - LHTLQ
Zhang Zhenyuan - TJMHTLQ
