The art of the sword

Along with dancing, sitting and chatting, and generally hanging out, there was also some swordplay practice that would happen early each morning in Lijiang.

 

The moves were all very precise and elegant. The practice is much less about learning to fight, and much more about exercise and maintaining good health.

 

This lady was particularly smooth and well practised in her swordplay.
