Traditional sword practice brings attention to posture, balance and coordinated movement. The emphasis is on controlled handling within supervised instruction.

Understanding the discipline

Chinese sword work is a distinct part of the academy’s traditional weapons offering. Students explore how stance, timing and body coordination connect, rather than treating a weapon as an isolated skill.

Before joining

Discuss your previous martial arts experience and readiness with Master Manickam. Ask which practice equipment is appropriate; do not purchase or bring a sharp weapon without discussing it first.
