Martial Arts
Sword and staff forms, presented as moving meditation rather than combat training.
What this practice covers
Demonstration and form study — a sixteen-posture jian form and staff basics.
Yarra’s note. No combat application, no strikes, no sparring. And the staff does not care about your good intentions, or your lamp.
