In this lesson you will learn how long your broadsword ( dao ) should be and what's the formal way to carry it. When you carry your broadsword, hold it between the fingers of your left hand. Fingers point forward, palm points up. If you now fully extend your elbow, the top of the sword should be at ear height. Straightswords are slightly longer than broadswords.
