An excellent tip about the sword moving in one plane, like a compass tracing a circle over a sheet of paper. I'm going to focus on that more in my next practice session. I've been practising the Yang 32 sword form for about 3 years, but I wish I had this level of instruction when I started as it would have prevented me from developing bad habits and errors in the movements that later needed correcting. Recently, I bought a better quality, well-balanced practice sword and I'm about to start learning the 54 movement sword form as taught by grand master Cheng Man-Ch'ing, as well as the associated sword play drills to develop sensitivity and agility. Fortunately, I've met three very good teachers in recent years (two here in Spain and another in the UK) who are able to help me learn this form in a way that adheres to the Tai Chi principles as you describe. Thank you so much for this insights, as well as all the other tips and reminders in this video. Your instructions are so clear, precise and easy to understand. I will take this all in and incorporate these points in my practice.
Thank you so much ❤️🙏 I think many instructors feel like students want to learn the "cool" things and won't have the patience for the basic things. Also, it's easier to teach steps and choreography. This is why I keep challenging myself to find better ways of communicating the basic things that people should be working on to actually understand the inner workings of the mechanics. I'm so glad it's resonating with you!
Chinese sword is very graceful to watch! Enjoyed! Chinese have a long history! Over 6000 years!! She s a good teacher! Hope she does more videos and advance!! 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼
I always recommend Kung Fu Direct for all Chinese martial arts equipment and supplies. I also bought my sword from there. My sword is the first generation of competition Tai Chi straight swords. This particular style is no longer made but they have other styles. These swords meet all the competition regulations and are very well balanced for forms. I don't really trust Amazon or other sites for Chinese martial arts supplies. Kung Fu Direct is a very reliable supplier: www.kungfudirect.com/wushu-kungfu-equipment/straight-swords/
Tassel are there for multiple reasons , original it was made to secure the sword to the wrist, other reasons are that they would have different color tassels to separate alliances , also to make it look beautiful and for some the used a tassel for a distraction in combat
I have also read that sometimes rocks were tied to the pommel for an extra attack, but I don't know if that's true or not. Personally I have found the tassel a good training tool because if you hit yourself with the tassel during the movements, it indicates your angles are off

Hi I have a question related to weapon. Why there is no miaodao taichi form ?
Where can I purchase a sword like the one you use in the video.
I always recommend Kung Fu Direct for all Chinese martial arts equipment and supplies. I also bought my sword from there. My sword is the first generation of competition Tai Chi straight swords. This particular style is no longer made but they have other styles. These swords meet all the competition regulations and are very well balanced for forms.

Thx. I would also like to see a video on the use of the tassel. There's very little information available on that.
Is a dagger also called a jain, because it has two edges?
There are different words used but a common one for dagger is duan jian, short jian
@@AipingTaiChi Thank you for explaining! There is so much subltey to appreciate.
Nice
💯
Is there a reason why the sword has that tassel on the pommel? Would a real combat sword have had it?
Tassel are there for multiple reasons , original it was made to secure the sword to the wrist, other reasons are that they would have different color tassels to separate alliances , also to make it look beautiful and for some the used a tassel for a distraction in combat

@@AipingTaiChi Ok that makes sense, I hadn't thought of that.
