The tai chi sword (jian) is practiced slowly and with control, so most beginners start with a light training sword rather than a sharp blade. The picks below are practice swords: flexible or retractable blades, plastic or polymer training blades, and decorative stainless swords with a scabbard.
What to look for
- Blunt or flexible blade: safer for home practice and easier to learn with.
- Length and weight: a sword that suits your height and strength keeps your wrist relaxed.
- Storage: a pouch or scabbard protects the blade and makes it easier to carry.
- Use: check whether it is made for practice or for display.

Practice swords are training tools. Choose blunt or flexible training blades, keep them away from children and pets, practice with enough space, and check local rules before carrying or traveling with one.
