What are the key points to keep in mind when practicing Tai Ji Chuan?

Taiji sword is often seen in martial arts dramas. In fact, Taiji swordsmanship is a unique martial art in Wudang. Taiji sword is Tai Ji Chuan's instrument routine. Taiji sword has both Tai Ji Chuan and swordsmanship. On the one hand, it should show the characteristics of soft and touching movements, on the other hand, it should show the characteristics of clear and accurate swordsmanship, harmonious body and sword and beautiful form. Taiji sword is deeply loved by people because of its coherent movements, generous posture and combination of rigidity and softness.

Tai Chi sword is faster than Tai Ji Chuan, but learning Tai Chi sword should be slow rather than fast, and it is easy to correct it if you slow down. Both Tai Ji Chuan and Taiji sword have the characteristics of cadence. Regardless of the branch schools of Taijijian, the overall appearance should be continuous, soft and smooth, and in one go. Therefore, like eating, there should be a clear landing point and no traces of strong separation. The variant is round and flexible, both rigid and flexible, and the operation should be satisfactory.

To learn swordsmanship routines, we should first seek the correct posture, and then skillfully move slowly, and then further analyze and study the role of swordsmanship, and gradually explore and master the law of exertion. Of course, if you really want to be proficient, you have to supplement it with fencing competitions. However, if you just want to exercise and practice routines for a long time, you can also achieve dynamic and static interaction, combine rigidity with softness and have a beautiful posture during exercise.

If there is no basis for practicing Taiji sword, we should first correct our learning attitude and abide by the principle of gradual progress. From simplicity to complexity, from simplicity to difficulty, we should strive for accuracy in each stroke and style, and we should have a clear concept of hand-eye moves and various swordsmanship. When practicing, we should try our best to standardize our actions, and never be greedy for more and faster.
