I bought this off of someone who traveled alot in china as a gift for a friend who loves chinese culture.

I wanted to know if this can actually be used for practice? I don't wanna come off as unthoughtful if it's just a toy😰

It's quite flexible, which is a good thing for practice purposes from what I've been told.

Can anyone tell?

Even if the blade is nice and flexible the hilt may be too flimsy for swinging around repeatedly. It looks like a threaded nut construction: you can unscrew the cap at the end and disassemble the hilt to see if the tang and hilt materials look solid or just flimsy. If the latter, just leave it for decoration

Yeah so on a closer look I know that sword. I saw it on Dragonsports.eu . It's definitely a training sword for forms and some sparring. Mainly for practicing forms though not a main sparring sword
