Tai Chi Sword Qigong

Focus: Qi Circulation & Meridians (All Levels Welcome)

TCM Time Course | Saturdays 11:30AM-12:30PM EST | 7-week course | January 16th-February 27th, 2021

  • Tai Chi Sword is practiced to achieve higher and more profound levels of Qi.
  • In fact, the theory of Tai Chi Sword is much deeper than that of barehand Taijiquan.
  • The techniques are consequently also more difficult to train and master.
  • An ancient Chinese martial arts proverb says: "It takes 100 days to master barehand, 1,000 days the spear, 10,000 days the sword.
  • The Tai Chi Sword Qigong set will be trained in this class as a preparation for the Tai Chi Sword Sequence in future classes.
  • Students will be introduced to the classical Yang Style Tai Chi Sword (楊氏太極劍, yángshì tàijíjiàn) form, which consists of 54 movements.
  • A sword will not be necessary for this class, but it can be helpful to order a wooden or metal sword for future classes
