Two Person Tai Chi Sword Form (a demonstration)

Our system includes several two-person forms, which we value deeply for developing flow and maintaining technical command while conditions are constantly changing. This particular form has two components — let’s call them A and B. In the first clip I take the A role and Jeff takes B. In the second clip, we reverse roles. We’ve separated them so the distinction is clear. We’re moving at a deliberately relaxed pace so viewers can better see and understand the mechanics and transitions involved. In regular practice, the energy and tempo can vary considerably. When performed in full, sections A and B are combined into one continuous, uninterrupted form. If the opportunity arises, we’ll post a video of the complete sequence in the future.

Tai Chi Sword (When Injured)

Injuries are an inevitable part of the martial arts experience. I've had my share. Like many, when I was less experienced, I allowed injuries to put my practice on hold. As I matured, I learned it was entirely possible to use the recovery period after injury to refine the finer points of my skills, or learn new things. That could be something simple as going through forms in slow motion, memorizing self defense sequences, working Chi Gung, or broadening internal concepts, maybe even Tai Chi.
