5 Reasons to Study TIGER SWORD SCHOOL Chinese Military Saber

I think it is fair to say that the samurai sword or katana is the most popular of swords today. But the Chinese Military Saber is making a comeback today, the last true war sword of the 20th century. Just as samurai swords were carried by Japanese soldiers in WWII, the Chinese Military Saber was carried by Chinese soldiers during the Sino-Japanese War. Chinese Military Saber has been a relatively obscure practice since the Sino-Japanese War, but today resurgence in its study is reemerging. At times armed only with their dadao the Chinese militia took on rifle, pistol, and even katana on the modern battlefield with surprisingly positive outcomes. The Japanese so feared the weapon that they produced neck guards for their soldiers to prevent decapitation from the blade in battle; unfortunately for the Japanese this proved ill-fated.

The system of Chinese Military Saber taught at TIGER SWORD SCHOOL has been developed with both the novice and martial arts master in mind. Like all martial arts systems TIGER SWORD SCHOOL provides the student:

Martial arts (of which TIGER SWORD SCHOOL and the Chinese Military Saber is) are such to include in your training techniques to include hand-eye coordination. But it will only be formulated with growing time as it involves hand, feet, concentration and psychological co-ordination.

Self Confidence and Self Respect: The right martial arts school, like the TIGER SWORD SCHOOL, will teach you that there are no tough guys. Every martial artist ultimately learns this sense of respect and true confidence. And this only improves as their training advances.
