Seven Star Sword (Qi Xing Jian 少林七星剑)
An Authentic Shaolin Jian Form from the Qing Dynasty
Unlock the essence of the Shaolin straightsword through one of the rarest traditional forms still preserved today.
This course teaches the Seven Star Sword Form, a refined and elegant weapon sequence passed down through our lineage since the Qing Dynasty. The Jian, known as the “Gentleman of Weapons,” demands precision, agility, and a strong foundation in martial arts. Prior experience—especially with weapons like the spear or dao (broadsword)—will greatly support your learning.
Through this form, you will not only study classical sword techniques but also embody traditional martial principles that connect back to both historical warriors and mythical figures. The spirit of the sword is carried in every gesture.
What’s Included:
Complete Qixingjian form instruction
Demonstrations from multiple angles
Slow motion and full-speed footage
Voice-over and written breakdowns for each move
Cultural and historical insights throughout
14 Key Application Examples
Combat-focused demonstrations to illuminate core principles
Important Note:
This course focuses exclusively on the Seven Star Sword form. It does not include:
Swordsmanship fundamentals
Solo skill-building drills
Partner work or sparring concepts
These essential elements will be covered in our upcoming Shaolin Swordsmanship course (launching end of May). That follow-up will provide the depth, structure, and training methods to truly develop your combat ability with the Jian.
**This form course gives you the framework—**a way to immerse yourself in the language of the sword. Once internalized, you’ll have a strong base to apply the deeper skills to come.
