How it's used
Practitioners often view this as an extension of empty-hand forms, emphasizing the extension of energy through the blade. It is frequently performed in public parks as a form of gentle exercise for seniors, though it requires significant focus on wrist flexibility and balance. Unlike aggressive sword styles, the movements are designed to be fluid and continuous.
