What do you think?
Steve James wrote:Sure, but where and how does your off hand affect the opponent or their weapon. Ime, there's no half-swording or hand counters in typical tcc jian use. For ex., in most tcc jian sparring exercises, the emphasis is on sensitivity through binding.
I went to learn FMA because I thought tai chi weapons might be lacking but I found the opposite to be true
