峨嵋武术是中国传统武术流派之一，集拳法、棍法、刀法等多种武术形式于一脉, 其中包括声名远播的峨嵋剑法。此剑起源于春秋战国时期，是一个名为司徒玄空的道人，根据林中飞禽走兽嬉闹夺食的姿态，创编而成的一套实用剑法。
Emei Martial Art is one of the traditional and mainstream forms of martial arts in China. It combines fist, cudgel, broadsword and many other forms of martial arts, including the renowned Emei Sword. The Emei Sword originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. A Taoist priest named Situ Xuankong observed the frolics and fights of birds and beasts in the forest, and created the practical sword techniques.

峨眉剑，锋利无比，但轻薄无骨，正面直击的效果不佳，所以一般采用避开锋芒的办法，出其不意地攻击手腕、咽喉、心脏等敌方要害部位。剑走偏锋，克敌制胜。
The weapon is extremely sharp, yet light and thin. A direct stab may not be the best option. In general, the practitioner uses circuitous tactics and unexpected attacks on the wrist, throat, heart and other crucial body parts of the enemy. It's about having an element of surprise.

剑行如燕飞，剑落如风停。峨眉剑气质独特，自带侠客风骨。武术本是一种竞技技术，意在克敌，通过长时间的发展和积累，不断融入地方文化和人文情感，逐渐形成了现在的武术文化。
"Wield the sword like a bird in flight. Put the sword down like the wind stops." The unique temperament of the Emei Sword is like that of a swordsman. Martial art was originally used to compete, or to defeat an enemy. Through a long period of evolution, it has infused with local cultures and human emotions, gradually changing into its current form.
