What we’re about
FREE! Welcome to our Tai Chi & Jianshu Sword Meetup class! This group is for all lovers of the martial arts and meditation who are specifically interested in practicing with the Jian sword. Prior experience is not required but welcomed.
The art of the sword refines the spirit and tests the strength and flexibility of the body. Although the traditional forms of Tai Chi are beautiful and can be good exercise, we can also use them to deepen our understanding of the art of the sword. Martial applications of the Tai Chi sword, and work with Chi and Qigong meditation, will be offered to contextualize the meaning of our practice. Lessons may "break down" parts of a larger traditional form, such as the 32 Tai Chi Yang form, and explore how these unfold through cooperative partner exercises.
Borrow or bring your own jian. Please no sharp swords or other weapons.
