These broadswords are perfect for training or for your own practice if you are looking for a light-weight weapon. However, the international governing body for Chinese Martial Arts competition, the International Wushu Federation (IWUF), has established standards for swords in competition. So if you are intending to compete, you will need to purchase another sword that complies with the regulations.
For competition purposes, when performing standardised Dao routines, the Dao tip should be no lower than the top of the ear when held in the left hand. When performing Southern-style routines however, the tip should be no lower than the lower jaw.
