Hey all, quick questions on the Han Jian
1) The handle is not the lausange shape of other jian, is the grip (the way you form your hand) on the this jian different from other jian?
2) Is this jian used more with two hands or one?
3) Do any jian techniques/movements change when using a Han Jian?
Thanks, and I hope to start seeing more students from my school, and others in the florida area getting on the forums.
Thanks to Scott again for our seminar, we're slowly gathering pics and I will put together a nice post to sum up the event.

What exactly do you mean by a "Han jian"? The Han dynasty steel jian blades I have seen are long and thin with a medium "hand and a half" or a large two handed size grip. The reproductions I have seen look more like the wide bladed early Han bronze jian, and would require very different techniques.
