      @johndough8115 Před měsícem

      @@livetechsupport909 An Ignorant statement for sure. Firstly... Most Japanese swords, are what you call "Mall Swords".. made of Dull Stainless Steel (Stainless is too Soft to hold a sharp edge, and dulls really fast). They are not made for actual combat. They are made for Decoration. A REAL combat steel (high carbon) sword, will cost you anywhere from $500 to well over $1000. You can literally spilt a Mall Sword in half, with a combat steel sword... and the combat steel sword wont even have a Scratch on the blade.
      Furthermore... A Chinese Jian (Double Edged Sword), made of proper High Carbon steel... is equally Lethal, compared to a Japanese sword. The Jian is much lighter, and thus much FASTER. And since it had dual edges, its far more Versatile.. as you can cut in both directions, at lightning speeds.
      Of course... The Japanese sword is more Intuitive to use... to someone that has no training at all. With a Jian.. you need to learn how to do soft re-directions... rather than direct Hard-Clashes against another sword. Typically, the Chinese Swordsman will instantly try to attack the persons wrists / fingers... so that the OP is incapable of holding their weapon. The Jian has a very long reach, is blindingly fast... and can lop off a limb like Butter.
      Now... There is another Chinese sword type, that is closer to a Japanese sword, called a DAO (Broad-Sword). It has a slight curve to it.. and its blade is much wider than a typical sword. This blade is heavier, and can impact a serious level of Impact potentials.

    It's frustrating to listen to media reports lately, they never provide enough information. Was anyone arrested? Why don't they show the complete footage of the police encounter with the woman carrying the sword in the street? Did they not see her as an obvious threat holding a weapon and just let her feign ignorance pretending not to speak English? There is no way that the police just took both women to the hospital because "they are unable to make a statement" and then take their sweet time to find some interpreter to help them with their investigation. It's obvious how certain folks are treated with kid gloves when they have interactions with law enforcement while others are just presumed to be violent threats. 😡

    Mandarin and google translate don't get along. I have no trouble using translate on Korean, Japanese, and many other languages... But Chinese can be a 50/50 drop.
