Different perspectives of Taichi
Taichi Sabre
and Taichi Sword
Taichi with a sword is a fascinating form, requiring the agility of the blade, the lightness of the step and the coordination of gestures towards a single point.
Learning to wield the sword gracefully takes concentration and perseverance, but also gives you fine control over your movements, allowing them to flow with ease and freedom.

The sequence was documented as early as 1928 by Chen Weiming, a pupil of Yang Chengfu who was among the first to publish works on taichi.
Taichi with a sabre has a completely different character, and is no less popular. Unlike sword movements, which were developed independently, sabre movements are often based on bare-handed taichi. The sequence is also shorter and easier to learn.
This sequence is inspired by the simple form of the Yang tradition, known as the Thirteen [movements/techniques] of Taichi Sabre.
