Tip Options
The duan jian is a short sword. Perfect for travel or training indoors in small spaces.
Choose a "pointed blade tip" for forms and light to medium contact training, or a "rounded blade tip" for robust partner training.
If you would like a Duan Jian with one of my other hilt designs (Taiji, Shi Tan, or Han) just contact me by email or phone and I'll be happy to make it for you.
