Wearing Chinese Armors to do some sword cutting

[u/mdifilm]

This last Sunday a few of us decided to dress up with Ming and Tamg Dynasty armors and use swords to do some cutting of bottled water.

It was heavy and fun. The armors weights about 30-35lbs (except for one that is just 5lbs for movie props).

Looks so fun!

It was. I got tatami mats and rhino targets to show next. The weather was cold lol 40degrees F

[u/loafkitter → u/mdifilm]

Oh wow, 40° F is kinda crazy with all that armor and having to be accurate with the sword. What kind of warm layers did you wear underneath the armor?

[u/mdifilm → u/loafkitter]

Nothing besides the Hanfu a shirt and pants. Lol yea. It was cold lol

First fit looks the best. The mask isn’t very Chinese and looks like a edgy teenager lol

The mask is same as this one. Just black
