A Nandao (Chinese: 南刀; pinyin: Nán dāo) is a kind of dao, or single-edged sword, that is used in contemporary wushu taolu.

During the construction of a compulsory nangun routine, professor Wang Peikun met with Zhou Susheng, coach of the Guangxi Wushu Team to discuss the creation of a new type of sword, the nandao.

[2] After revisions and practice of the new techniques, a demonstration video of the first compulsory routine was filmed with Ka Li as the performer.

With the 2005 IWUF rules revision, the three-score system was introduced and athletes were required to choreograph their own optional routines.

[2] In the most recent IWUF rules revision for international competition, the top of the nandao blade should be no shorter than a competitor's jaw if being held with the left hand close to the body.
