General Li wrote:

For a functioning sword, ideally it should be a steel sword with some springiness to it. It should be either too long or too heavy, or it will not be suitable. The center of balance needs to be nearer to the handle, otherwise it will not be easy to use.

The Wudang sword hilt is different from the norm, the corners angled upward for the special purposes of catching the opponent’s sword and taking advantage of his force to injure his body or hand.
