Nandao

Nandao is a kind of dao, or single-edged sword, that is used mostly in contemporary Chinese wushu exercises and forms. It is the southern variation of the "northern broadsword", or beidao. Its blade bears some resemblance to the butterfly sword, also a southern Chinese single-bladed weapon; the main difference is the size, and the fact that the butterfly swords have D-shaped knuckle guards. The main difference with the beidao is that the nandao is mostly used two-handed due to its greater weight, and it has a large metal crossguard useful in deflecting blows and hooking the opponent's weapon; also, although it is single-edged, the nandao is not curved like the northern broadsword.
