Re: My meetup club: Historical Chinese Combat Arts
Those sports are performance based where as what I am trying to do is create a contact based fighting sport based on weapon dueling like kendo, fencing, and escrima. In other words, HEMA based on Chinese arts.
Other contact sports based on TCM included Sanda(kicking boxing) and Shuai jiao (wrestling).

OK what Chinese call broadswords do in fact look like big machetes for some reason. But aren't there already sports based around TCM? When I taught English in China my students seemed to think that Kung Fu and various weapon arts were also sports.
