在漫长的历史发展中，剑术名目繁多，技法丰富多彩，各门派都有其沿袭相传的演练技巧和方法，但一般的基本技法大致有以下四点。

In the long hisforical development, fencing under various names, colorful techniques, each school has its lineage legend drills techniques and methods, but in general the basic techniques have the following four points.

（一）剑法清晰，轻快敏捷 Swordsmanship clear, light and agile movements

历来有“剑走轻，刀走黑”之说来区别。虽然刀、剑都具有悠忽纵横，以短乘长的技击特点，但是用法迥然有别。剑术不能像刀术那样大劈大砍、猛起猛落，而是要按照剑法的运动规律做到轻快敏捷，体现出“剑器轻清”的特点。

It has always been “Fencing is light, but the sword is very mysterious”, said to distinguish.Although knives, swords have leisurely and freely, a short take long martial characteristics, but utterly different usage, it did not like the broadsword sword hacking, suddenly from a sudden fall, but used so much agility to follow the movement of the sword, reflects the feature of the “sword is light and agile”.

（二）持短入长，刚柔兼备 In short instrument to deal with long weapons and both rigid and flexible

剑器短小轻便，利于变化，欲达以短制长。剑本身轻、短、细、薄，对付粗重兵器，只可逢坚避刃，遇隙削刚，仗着身法便利、招法变换取胜。刚与柔是剑术的两大要素，剑法运用体现出柔中寓刚、刚中含柔、刚柔相济和防中有攻、攻中有防、攻防相间的技法要求。

Sword is short and lightweight, which will help change the movements and reach the purpose of using a short instrument to deal with long weapons.Sword is characterized by light, short, little, thin, it's to deal with heavy weapons which can only avoid the blade, cut just in case clearance, relied on agility conveniently transform tactics to win.Rigid and flexible is two elements of fencing, swordsmanship exercised reflects the skill requirements rigid, rigid containing soft, hardness and softness, and has anti-attack, attack in defense, offensive and defensive techniques.

（三）把活腕灵，以巧制胜 Hands and wrists flexible, winning with skills

剑术很注重剑法的正确性，然而有“剑无成法，因敌变化而制胜”之说。各种剑法都要求轻快、准确，很多变化与手腕的劲力运使技巧有关。因此，要求持剑手的指、掌虚实多变，手腕灵活转展，恰到分寸地把握剑器，达到合理地调节剑法和劲力之变化。在此基础上，剑术十分讲究运用以巧制胜技法，难以硬挡硬架硬格，而是逢坚化刃、避实就虚、借人之势、后发先至。

Fencing is focus on the correctness of skill, but there is said: “Fencing does not require action structure and that is based on the change of opponents to choose action and win”.Different types of swordsmanship require smooth and accurate wrist impulsive change and related transport makes skills.Therefore, sword hand finger and palm require actual situation varied, wrist turn flexible,grasp the sense of proportion sword properly,used to reach a reasonable regulation of the sword and force change.On this basis, fencing pays attention to the use of techniques to skillfully winning, it is difficult to hidebound using, but used every key of the blade, evasive, by the people of the situation, be as a relative latecomer.

（四）身剑合一，气韵洒脱 The human body and fencingas one, Charming

“身剑合一”指尊重剑的运动轨迹及其技击习性，顺剑之劲势而动，是衡量参与者练剑好坏的一个重要标准。它强调以身运剑，将身法、步法、神意、剑法融为一体。其变化则身行如龙、剑行如电、身械如一。因此，练剑要求内外贯通，神形达化。“气韵”指的是剑术运动的节奏、气度。剑术运动应气度宏大，洒脱自如，其动静疾缓应富有鲜明生动的多种节奏变化，起承转合应注重韵律。

“The human body and fencing as one”, refers to the trajectory of their respected sword martial habits, following sword strongly moving is an important standard to measure the quality of the participants.It emphasizes the body transported to the sword, integrated the agility, footwork, providence, swordsmanship together.It changes the body like a dragon, the action route lightly, body and equipment unity.Therefore, Swordsmanship requires internal and external are fluent, demeanor and body agreed.“Character” refers to the rhythm and tolerance of fencing sport.Fencing movement must be powerful, action chic, its movement should be rich variety of vivid rhythm changes, undulating also available that transforms should focus on rhythm.
