Ming and Early Qing military sabers were elegant, unadorned side arms that can deliver devastating power even with a single hand.
Here we see the performance of two of these typical military sabers in the hands of Lancelot Chan.
The target is layers of soaked newspaper wrapped around a rigid PVC pipe. This target construction simulate a limb of a human.
Here Lancelot Chan first try target with the strength of a forearm and then the upper arm. The results give the tester and the viewer a new perspective in these sword type and answers the question why these designs were the dominant military saber type for 400 years from 16th to 19th century
