During the Han Dynasty, the sport of Fencing was popular from the Imperial Court down to every street corner.   There were many schools and well known teachers.  Fencing scenes are popular subject matters on stone murals. Rarely seen out side private collections and museum, Han Fencing Jian pre-dated western swords with similar hand guard systems for over 1000 years. We bring a Han Shield Guard Fencing Jian back to life based on specimens from private collections. Blade rebounds to true after bending, Hand Guards: Stainless Steel Grip: Flatten Wax Cord
