Description
Tai Chi Sword is one of the most popular Tai Chi weapons. The two-edged straight sword (jian) is used to develop upper-body conditioning, strengthen the arms and wrists, and improve coordination of energy throughout the entire body.
The Chen-Style Tai Chi Sword class is an intermediate-level course that provides a comprehensive introduction to sword training through the Chen-Style Tai Chi Sword 36 Form (陳式太極劍三十六式).
Students will learn the complete form while refining the body mechanics, movement principles, and internal energy of traditional Chen-style Tai Chi, applying those same fundamentals to proper sword technique and practice.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with a beginner-level Chen-Style Tai Chi Chuan form, such as the Chen-Style 24 Form.
Students will need their own Tai Chi sword. For information on selecting a sword, see Sifu Wu’s Tips on Selecting a Tai Chi Sword. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@opentaichi.org.
