Training begins with the curved saber and the knife — the foundation — and advances step by step to weapons of greater technical complexity, including the Jian (straight sword) and the spear, among others. Each weapon has its own character and teaches its own lessons.
- Curved saber — the starting point, building the fundamentals of edge control.
- Knife — close-range precision and awareness.
- Jian sword — the classic straight sword, demanding finesse and focus.
- Spear — range, structure, and whole-body power.
