Hey
I live in a city with a HUGE park in the middle. Now walking through it the other day I saw a chinese guy practising with a tai chi chaun form sword doing his sword forms. The guy was wearing the usual uniform (and he was pretty good!). I know this kind of thing is common in china (tai chi in the parks of a morning). But it got me thinking. I’d really enjoy to do similar on a warm day but I’m concerned about legality.
Here’s my thinking:
I’d like to take my bokkens and or form swords to the public park and practise sword form, with or without some partners. Now obviously I realise there are potential problems here and I’m wondering if the chinese guy was breaking the law.
I’m sure it would be fine in a relatively remote part of the country (solongas the swords are not being carried as a weapon things will likely be fine).
I’m keen to know what people think regarding UK law on this matter:
Obviously it will be carried in accordance with usual procautions. Iain.
just to say form swords are blunt and floppy – for those who don’t know.
