Chen-style Tai Chi Sabre
(陈氏太极单刀23式)
Forms: 23
Chen Tai Chi Sabre form is a classic weapon routine for intermediate students. This form requires one to demonstrate speed and power with many instances of ‘fa jing 发劲’ – the relaxed, explosive release of force typical of Chen Tai Chi. Chen Tai Chi sabre instils harmonisation of softness and hardness, quickness and slowness, and the powerful silk reeling energy (chansijing 缠丝劲).
