Important information about Weapon Sparring

Weapons have always played a central role in Chinese martial arts. These are mostly used alone, in Taolu. The weapons in our catalog, marked as "Dummy Weapons", are the only ones that can be wielded with a partner, during Drills or sometime Sparring. However, these practices are not without risk, it is absolutely essential to only use this equipment under the supervision of a qualified and qualified teacher.

Sparring with weapons exists in different forms. Relatively strong strikes, thrusting techniques carried by the tip of the weapon, and strikes on certain parts of the body are sometimes authorized. The type of fake weapons, the choice of materials, as well as the type of protection used, must be adapted to the use. It is very important to note that none of our imitation weapons or protection should be used at full strength, with the application of uncontrolled force. Once again, it is essential to follow the instructions of a qualified and qualified teacher. If you have any doubts, please contact our team before purchasing.

It is imperative to have each piece of equipment checked by a qualified and qualified teacher before use (fake weapons and protection). Equipment that has suffered abnormal impact or detectable wear should be immediately removed from use.
