Unlock the secrets of the ancient art of Sancai Swordsmanship, a mandatory course at the Central Martial Arts Academy. This book delves into the 49 postures that make up the complete set of Sancai Swordsmanship, a martial art form that harmonizes the principles of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The book is a culmination of years of study, practice, and research, guided by various experts including Professor Huang Bonian. It offers a unique blend of solo and partner practice techniques, each designed to complement the other. Learn the 18th posture "Sit and Intercept the Wrist" and the 30th posture "Raise Leg and Hook Ear," among others, each with its own tactical rationale and application.

Divided into seven sections—name, commands, movements, pictures, applications, training methods, and annotations—this comprehensive guide is designed for both beginners and advanced practitioners. It not only teaches the postures but also delves into the underlying principles of movement, stillness, emptiness, and fullness.

Special Note: Sun Jianyun, the daughter of martial arts legend Sun Lutang, claimed that her father was the original creator of the Sancai Jian set. This form was later standardized and taught at the Guoshu Institute, reinforcing its roots in Xingyi Swordsmanship.

Whether you're a novice eager to learn or an expert looking to deepen your understanding, "Sancai Jianfa" is your ultimate guide to mastering this ancient art form.
